Fishing has been tough for me the last few days. Wednesday and Thursday were better on ned. Seemed to switch and could not get bit in bottom much but did manage a few LM over 5 and some nice 3+ tank SM. Floating worm was fun up by bank and in the junk. Had lots of chasers and hooked up with some. Lots of big ones up there that came out and missed more than I could count. Yesterday and today bottom bite was done. Tried deep and shallow with Ned shakey and also swimbait. Got lucky and found them boiling off a point with whites on top water but that was all the fun for today. Couldn’t get them figured out. Nephews caught some fish which was nice and dad took big fish of the trip.

We caught a lot from 15-20 ft last week

How far was the moss out? It usually ended in 8ft in a lot of spots we fished

Moss is hit or miss. If there was a bunch I moved on to different area. Some places it came out to 8 ft others spots hardly any.

Going to try the swimmer more this weekend. Got kind of tired of throwing the ned but they were eating it. All the smallmouth we caught were just flat mean. I could tell a difference in their attitude form the week before. They would jut dig dig dig and some even jumped crazy. Moss was bad in some spots but others not bad at all.

We got it from Blake at Pros choice in Warsaw

Fished with my Dad and they were on fire. Caught 82 on Thursday and over 50 on Friday. 90% were on Ned. Caught a few on swimbait and couple on top water. Caught them anywhere from the bank out to 20ft. Fished basically everywhere from main lake backs of coves/pockets. It was a blast. We got a new Z-21 3 weeks ago and have been down 3 straight weekends. This was the best weekend so far. Caught some smallmouth pushing 4 lbs and some huge K’s. Had a couple big LM jump off. Can’t wait to get back down.

Any jerkbait bite or is the water too swift? About 10 of us will be down there this weekend

That’s a great day. I was down there mainly to clean up the boat and organize tackle but I fished for 5 hours at the dam and caught 3 just one keeper. There was a few boats but with that many boats in AiA they must of been towards the river arms more. I tried the arig in all usual spots and caught those three off one location in between docks that had a rock shelf by a channel swing and they came in a jerkbait. Some days you just don’t have it but I thought I would catch more. After looking at the results I really stunk it up.

Has anyone tried the maxima fluorocarbon line?

Bump

Whoops that would help. I added it in the post. $29,500.

My dad is selling his boat. Boat has been garage kept besides early spring through early summer when it’s sits on a lift and covered. Boat has been well maintained and taken care of. Serviced every year and have had no issues what so ever. Boat has caught lots of fish haha. I have more pics if interested. Asking $29,500.

You didn’t catch any bigger ones because I was up there and caught them all 😉

Did they got give you physical therapy or exercises to do at home? You usually get some elastic bands that are might resistance to start with.

All valid points. The jaw looks like it extends past the eye and the coloration is why I thought it was a mean mouth

What do you guys think? Smallmouth or Meanmouth? Saw this posted on LOZ Facebook page and was caught a few years ago. I said meanmouth because of horizontal line and scales but have been blasted for it.

Here is the link not recent numbers though https://www.swl.usace.army.mil/Portals/50/docs/tablerocklake/Pool History- Table Rock (4).pdf

Anybody remember where you can find the historical numbers on lakes? I remember a year or two back there was a chart that showed the high and low numbers and maybe avg height since table rick was built

Those fish are smart. Somebody stops and fishes that point I swear every hour.

Hey stay off that point leading into my cove haha

Champ see a good chiro first before anything invasive. You would be surprised how much they can help you if you grind the right one.
