I would help you if you thought we could figure it out neighbor, if not what about Tri-State in Wentzville??

That picture there quillback is why I think In all reality is why we outdoorsman hit the lake or woods or wherever. The subtleties of the exposure we get from our journeys keep bringing us back no matter how small they may be. Apparently you fit right in, thank you for the picture!!

Fish smarter, not harder, take that to the bank as well with everything else you do .

I know at Campbell point marina there are signs. Self explanatory I believe. There are always those that don’t want to abide by rules but I believe most do, besides, I believe a lot of those fish at marinas get fed, wouldn’t waste my time.

I hear that they are in Kentucky lake big time, read a article about it a while back, seems there is no getting rid of them

So sorry for your loss, may she Rest In Peace

Bad news, when are people going to learn??

I believe any of us would do the same

My exact thought,you don’t know,

Thanks for the info, good luck fishing to you.

Rps, do you have any names of access points one can use in the area, thanks

Techo, you saying bull or the rock is crazy with traffic?

Been a long tine since I’ve been to Bull Shoals but the wife and I are thinking of coming down in July for a few days to show her more of the beautiful Tri-Lakes area. Any advice on staying at any of the resorts and what one would expect as far as fishing that time of year, been a Table Rock fan for many years, looking to get away from the crowd. Thanks for any advice

No I didn’t, but they are definitely some hogs, the wife got to catch a few and about pulled her in, LOL

The whites we caught the other evening, haven’t seen them since then

Speaking Of top water, be on the look out for the whites, we caught a bunch of the other evening and the size of them blew me away, I’ll get some pictures when I go to clean them

Good job Quillback, those smelliest are beauty’s

Nice fish, well worth another thousand!!

Nice fish, congratulations.

First off you need the air temps to be stable for a period of time as such they are doing now, we need night time temps in the 50's to start the process and stable warm temps during the day as well to have any degree of consistency. Yes you can catch them without the for mentioned but you will work much harder for them and not have the consistency, not to say that any periodic warm front during this time will not spur some activity, right place right time in that scenario. Once the temps have leveled out as they appear to have, it's go time! As far as where, consider where you have been fishing as the bass have moved up to the banks and or flats for their spawning ritual. Take into consideration the deeper water channels and drops, deep coves leading into spawning areas and cuts in the channels adjacent to drop offs and large structure as rock ledges and boulders and possibly large downed trees near these areas, bluff banks are also productive as bigger bass prefer deeper water as a escape route. There are numerous scenarios depending on the environment where you are fishing. As far as methods of producing big fish at night without a doubt a black, black & blue, black & purple, black & red, and even a white spinner bait & trailer is a proven method time and time again but as always never limit your arsenal to just a couple of baits, worms, craws and jigs are all options as well as others. On top of that I would also recommend a clear fluorescent fishing line along with a black light so you can see your line. Last but not least, make sure your hooks are sharp, you don't want to lose that hog once he is on the end of your line!! Add all that to many years of trial and error and you will become a successful night time bass fisherman

Vinegar and water every time I pull it out or if weather is inclement as soon as I get it home in the garage. For hard to get rid of water spots pur-Kleen is another option

Caught this guy first thing this morning on a creature bait, 12 lbs 14 oz. after that the rest of the morning went south,struggled all morning but then this evening managed 3 keepers and several other short fish. Had a lot of fun.

We will be in the Shell knob area the 6th through the tenth,if I see you I wil stop, you have the new charger Elite I believe

Where are you going to be
