Hi,
Sounds like you made an excellent choice. Blue Waters resort puts you in the middle of the lake and there is excellent smallmouth bass fishing in 5 fingers cove. You are also close to Shoal Creek. I have caught Smallmouth, Largemouth, Kentucky bass, walleye and crappie in Shoal creek. You are also close to the large flats and East and West Sugarloaf creeks.
Great to have you coming to Bull Shoals.
