waterpossum

A friend and I had 14 keepers in brush 20' deep Saturday just north of Crab Tree cove. They all must have been out of the same class. None were very big.

Thought I'd open up a new topic. Since the format change there seems to be little activity. There are good reports lake wide fishing brush in 15-20"of water on jigs and Minnows. Cautioned advised, especially in the creek arms. The lake is 7' below normal Water temp is still relatively warm fo thos time of year. Lats week it was low 70s

I couldn't bring up the link. Maybe if I could I would understand how collecting more water in the lake would reduce sediment in the lower lake

The lake is in excellent shape right now. At 875 it's 8' above normal. The best species to fish for at present are walleye and catfish bottom bouncing nightcrawlers. The white bass are surfacing in the last hour of the day in a lot of places. Day time bass fishing is probably best flipping the 100 miles of buckbrush. One other type of fishing which is seldom done is using a long pole with a pinch of worm and bream fishing shallow water. They are spawning now. Stockton has some really nice ones.

Who was responsible for naming two of the favorite sporting pastimes? Pickleball and Cornhole.

Back in the late 70s early 80s I got seriously involved in fishing bass tournaments. Bobby Sullivan, Terry Thomas and a host of locals were some of the top fisherman. Lefty and Marty were absolutely two of the best to ever fish Table Rock. I mainly met the two when I was congratulating them for winning a tournament

I have retrieved several lost rods over the years dragging a couple of snap stringers opened up. You describe a pretty large area. If I knew a more precise location I could give it a try if I'm there.

I always looked forward to his reports. Is this for real or did something happen I'm not aware of?

We did make it out in the swirling winds Monday at the Bolivar landing. It was near impossible to find a bank not wind blown. You are dead on about the fish. Caught a few shallow and some off ledges in 8' of water. Brought home 11 all over 10". Threw back about that many. All on 1/16 oz roadrunners. Water temp was 63

I have a sister in law that recently moved close to the lake. She wants me to take her crappie fishing. She is close to the Bolivar landing. I live on Stockton and have been doing fairly well. Any suggestions what depth to start in

My last serious bass tournament days occurred in the 80s and 90s. Because of my lack of talent and work schedule I only occasionally cashed a check. However the guys I competed against nearly all had decent jobs to support a family without going broke with a bass rod in their hand. Charlie Campbell, Jerry Ruark, Terry Thomas and Bobby Sullivan were all regulars that I was privileged to share a boat with. The High school bass circuit seems to be a fun experience for the kids. I just hope the 99% that never make a living at it have a trade or profession other than fishing.

Did any of them have the new Livescope goggles?
