Winners caught em on jerkbaits and cranking. Second place caught on the A-Rig-uggh!

Caught 15.20lbs in the 2nd polar bear tournament, Had a blast in the cold today with Fishrman, caught em on RK and jigs. Everything was mainlake except for 2. Went head hunting trying to cull out 3 lbers in some creeks but it was obvious you had to stay close to the main lake. Wt 52, KC-Dam. 17lbs won 4.77 was big fish.

There were 2 things working for the guys that were successful, 1 was a deep jig on structure/brush piles. Not my thing, 2 was a shallow power fishing deal: topwater,squarebill, trap fishing on long shallow flats! Upper sections of the lake were the most productive if your a shallow guy! My two cents!

Finished 21st out a 186 boat field. Bittersweet, left them biting the first day to manage the fish. Weighed 14.5 lbs nothing over 3.25 lbs. Second day, head scratcher the first couple of hours with wind and clouds only 1 keeper. Wait it’s fall fishing! Anyways worked topwaters/crankbait /spinnerbaits/jigs. Had 7 total bites, 6 were keepers, caught 2 one was a 4lber. Weighed 7.98 for 3 fish. Blessed to have the opportunities. Good luck everyone! WT: 70-71.

Fished on the lower end, went down to PT5 and worked back. Beat the banks with topwaters/spooned some boat docks/pitched jigs in shallow docks. Had 5 keeper bites caught 3, weighed 9 lbs. 4 short fish. Fall fishing is among us, keep an open mind. Wt: 78-80. 13lbs won, 4.80 was big fish. Not many limits caught. I have a club tournament next week we’ll see what happens! Good luck everyone, Go Hogs!!

Fished a club tournament yesterday was fortunate to finish 3rd, we had a 4 fish limit due to the heat and fished til noon. 12lbs won it and 11.5 2nd, myself had 11.17. Big Fish was at 5lbs caught on a 10inch plumb worm! Congratulations Damon! For the last 2 months the bite for me has been first light til 10am. Beating the banks covering as much water as humanly possible. If you don’t see bait activity you’re wasting your time. I ve tried deep docks with spoons and my timing must off cuz I can see the darn fish piled under the docks but I can’t get them excited. But I know people have been catching them especially around the thermocline. Drink plenty of fluids everyone!

We had a blast!

If there’s a deep crank bite out there it’s NOT in the kings river! Caught several 10-13 inchers 3 days in a row, mostly kys. Kids had a blast catching perch while I was determined to catch a keeper. Did catch a handful of keepers in 3 days, couple on buzzbaits and the rest were on shallow running crank baits/squarebills. Fished up to the blue hole back to the mouth over 3 days. Wt:87-90 in some places.

Had a fun morning fishing topwaters and crank baits. Started at 5:20am stopped at 9am. Caught 6 solid keepers with a couple short fish. I’ll be camping next week at Viola, would like to find a big plug bite. Ill let you know what happens! WT: Mid 80’s. Happy 4th of July!

Take we easy on them KCity fish! I’ll be after em tomorrow, not sure if I fish pt 7 area or Baxter. I’ll post a report

Fished club tournament 5:30-1:30, I ran to a creek arm that I had found fish in 3 weeks ago, wasn’t sure there were any there due to the steady drop of the lake, however they were! Caught 7 keepers and 7 shorts, short fish were all 14 7/8 just shy of keeping! All but 2 were caught on top waters! 1 on a spoon and 1 on a 10 inch power worm. This was all in the first 3 hours fishing the shade lines. After that I couldn’t throw dynamite in the lake to catch one. Threw jigs and flipped spoons in docks and nothing. 14 lbs won, our best 5 was 12lbs. Drink plenty of fluids everybody! Wt: 86-87. It’s not even July and August yet!

It’s totally there! I really want to fish that, always something conflicts, one day hopefully!

We were fortunate to fish in the BPS US open this past November. The experience was unbelievable and first class! We qualified on Bull Shoals, winning the family big bass division and finished 17th out of 250. We received $2000 at the tournament and qualified for a chance to fish for 1 million dollars! Thanks, Bass Pro Shops!

Hit the kings after 3pm today. 64-65. Once the sun went down it was back to 59. 6 solid keepers, 4 on black and blue jig, 3 on a square bill. Few shorts mixed in.

Fished club tournament out of Big Indian yesterday. Ran all over the lake, lives-scoped some fish in west Fisher creek and followed the working gulls but couldn’t get em fired up! KC-39bridge and places in between. Mustered 13 fish with 1 keeper. Mostly caught on RK, caught a couple on a jerk bait, a couple on a jig, 1 on a spinner bait. Fisherman figured em out bringing the only 5 fish limit at 14 lbs, 4.5 lbs was 3rd.

Fished club tournament today out of Cow Creek, cranked all day despite the lack of wind until the last hour of the day. Ran to Long Creek after 2 hours staying close. Did have 1 keeper smallmouth at the time. Thought the colored water would help generate a few more bites. Did catch 5 dinks and my partner caught big bass on the non boater side 3.40. Decided to run back to the mid lake section for the last couple hours hoping to chase the wind. Found two stretches with enough wind to catch 3 more keepers and have 2 other nice fish pull off. Wt: 48-50. 14lbs won, Fishrman won 3rd just shy of 13lbs.

Fish are on the move towards the shallows!

Grinder day! Did you have a mixed bag?

Thanks guys
