9-27-18 Baxter Area Table Rock Lake Fishing Report

yep bill it is called frontitis.  going tonight and will be dealing with it myself.  better night to stay home, but someone begged me into going.  if we make enough stops we might beat out a few of them, but i am sure doubting it to be anything special.

aren't those healthy bass??  all the ones we have been getting are just pot gutted and i don't know how they can cram in another bite.

Well I was out there today with my buddy Mike and it was tough for us.  Cold, a bit breezy, with some fog coming off the lake when we started and very little top water activity.  Nothing like it was a couple of days ago.  I caught one spot on a Plopper,  and a couple of swings and misses and that was it for the top water.

We then did a lot of bank beating with shaky heads and jigs, and put a handful of 13-14" fish in the boat - I probably had a half dozen shaky head bite fish that got off, just weren't eating it.

About 12:30 we fished a stretch of bank where we had a pretty good bite, chunk rock bank with a bit of wind on it.  We started picking up fish right on the bank on jigs.  No size except for one smallie I caught that might have been close to 3 lbs.  

We ended the day with 15 bass, mostly 13-14" spots.

We had friends visiting us this week from Chicago so tried crawlers.  Thursday was in the James River arm from point 11 to 9.  We couldn't fish regardless of the depth we fished.  In 4 hours we only had a couple of wishy washy hits and one bass.  Friday we went up the White River and did much better catching 15 in about 3 hours with a nice mix of Walleye, Largemouth Bass, Smallies and Spotted.  We saw a lot of top water activity.  Conditions should continue to improve as the water continues to cool  Good Fishing all.
