Hicks Lake is a lake in Georgia, near Floyd County.
Hicks Lake is a lake in Floyd County, and on a first trip I would start around one easy-to-read section of bank and stay there until I find a repeatable bite in the first area. I would keep the opening plan simple around one manageable shoreline stretch and leave it alone until I find a repeatable bite in the first adjustment.
A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Hicks Lake, so I would not guess at them until an official lake survey confirms the number and would work one nearby shoreline stretch until I see a pattern develop in the first few casts.
The fishery at Hicks Lake is lightly documented, so I would use a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one sheltered section of water and let the first trip stay broad until I see a pattern develop in the first setup. The best first setup on Hicks Lake is a simple one around one straightforward section of water, and I would leave it alone until I see a pattern develop in the opening stretch.
I would approach Hicks Lake by choosing one promising part of the lake, one target, and a small tackle selection, then make only the changes the first few bites justify after I get a useful answer from the first area. If I get a useful answer from the first adjustment, I would stop searching randomly and fish one easy-to-read part of the lake properly on Hicks Lake. If I get a useful clue from the first few casts, I would make a note of what happened around one manageable part of the lake and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Hicks Lake.
