Not sure where Steve puts in but I would say either Buck creek or sugarloaf marinas would be the largest depending on what side of the lake you are on. I’m lucky to have mine on a lift but I usually fish between the 2 mentioned.

Steve thanks and I for one appreciate these reports. I’m headed to the same area in 2 weeks and hope we have the same success. Just hope we don’t get a big cool down.

That is an absolute toad! Sorry you missed out on a fish of a lifetime but for sure you know they are there. Can’t wait to get back and try my luck again with the crappie as well.

A few really nice crappie as well. This one was a little over 15” and a little over 2 pounds.

Nice fish! We did well this past weekend mid-lake area focusing mainly on the back half of the creek just because we were catching them there. Caught most of our fish on a 2.8 but caught better fish on the jig. Shade was definitely a plus. Enjoy the rest of the week. At least a little bit warmer for the little guy the next couple days.

Jacob here is a water level/generation link as well. Good luck! Should be nice weather at least Bull Shoals Lake (army.mil)

Jacob, Good luck in the tournament. I'm heading down this weekend for the first time in 3+ months and we'll see how much I think I know of the lake 😊. Not really targeting any species as I'm just ready to catch something. you can get some water temp info if you search this. Bull Shoals Lake Water Temperature & Lake Level - AnglerSpy™ You can also look on youtube for some bull shoals video reports. Del Colvin just put something out a couple days ago that should help you get you started. I generally try to get down around this time every year. Some trips are good and some not so good. I'm thinking that this is shaping up to be one of the better ones but I always think this before the trip LOL! Have fun and enjoy! It is a beautiful lake.

24/7 That is a chunk! Looks very healthy. Would love to get down there soon but generally not until mid March.

Dang! That’s one that can feed a family! Very jealous and great job!

well had to cancel the trip this weekend so no report from me. Good luck to anyone getting after them this weekend. should be some nice fall weather.

Nice! I'm going down next weekend with a couple friends to see if the crappie and whatever else are still biting. I'll post a report good or bad.

just think of it as a battle scar for enjoying the outdoors so much! Just wear the hat and sunscreen like I do now!

I'm sorry for you having to deal with this. Definitely not a fun trip to the doc. But I will say that they know what they are doing and you are better for getting it removed. I had a melanoma cut out in late 2018 and 4 months later was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer but like I said the medicine and knowledge now is incredible and I'm all clear and not looking back. Saved my port that was taken out last December after 2 years in my chest just to remember.

Nice fish! Thanks for posting these reports especially after the rain. I’m coming down next weekend for the first time this year and appreciate all the insight. Are there a lot of floaters in the creeks where you are at?

Interesting if a 5 or 6 hook sabiki rig possibly tipped with minnows targeting game fish is legal 😏
