Table Rock Lake February 1st. 2016 Report
Dewayne French replied to Bill Babler's topic in Table Rock Lake
Not much else needs to said right there. That can apply to all these lakes up here this time of year.. Well said Mr Bill -

Haven't been on the old bowl for a while so I took off work and fished most of the day Wed from SL to about 2. Caught lots of bass and several good bass, it was a good mix of LMB, SMB, & Spots. Main lake points and bushes with a Spinner-bait was the most productive. Fishing must be getting good there were boats everywhere for a mid week day. Water temp was 72-75, depth in the 5-10' range, moderate visibility, lots of shad and shiners. Good luck and take a kid fishing soon they will thank you for it later.

Most of my Walleye fishing has been trolling shad raps to bigger crankbaits in a boat as opposed to a kayak. Not that it won't work, I know a lot of people have gotten into the harness rigging systems for them in the last several years. With good results. Today I mostly toss a jerkbait for them and bass in the fall and spring time of the year with good success. Depth--is not as deep this year as normal due to the high water. Most springs we would get them on #7 shad raps. Sometimes the old mud bug or the Deeper cranks would have to be employed. I guess that is why the crawler harness has came into view know. Most areas of my success has been in the cranfield area, Fouts, and even in the Woods Point area has been good at times.

7/22/2015 trip South of Mammoth Spring
Dewayne French replied to Dewayne French's topic in Spring River (Mo/Ar)
Very good to have in my back yard... This time of the year it is not weekend friendly river fishing if you know where I'm coming from. Very active especially from the Dam three Jim Hinkle Access area south. But I tried a mid week trip and it wasn't totally out, but still several others around. -
Got out for a little River action Wednesday afternoon, only went from 2-5 pm, but had a great afternoon with a buddy. We caught around 6-SMB, 7-LMB, 8-Shadow/Rock Bass, and several Green sunfish. It made for a fast action trip we caught all our fish around the Spring River Oaks area on plastic's by a local guy at Jennybug's baits in Thayer, Mo... Tried a topwater but no takers; to early in the afternoon my guess so we just bottom hoped plastic's. In the shade out of the fast current normal eddy type areas! Nothing mind blowing just normal river fishing 101.. River is cleaning up nice and finally getting fishable.
-
What area of the river are you asking about?
-
I got Costa's and love them Fisch with the 580 polys, no probs, but I had them repaired the other day & A+++ on the CS great people. I also wear Smiths and really like them as well. I know they have prescriptions glasses also, but luckily I haven't had to go that route yet! Never tried the Fit overs either, but have buds that do and like the Cocoons.
-
Didn't get to make the trip with the boat. Had to adapt and overcome sorry no report..
-
I'm going to down probably Thursday morning the 23rd and fish from DL to 9:30-ish putting in at Old 25 an ideas for that area will be appreciated
-
Possibly going to head down Thursday morning for a little action around Old 25 Park any news? Going to fish early
-
Coming to a river near you...
Dewayne French replied to fishinwrench's topic in General Angling Discussion
I think I saw a duck hunter with one of those up by Beaver Crk Marina last winter jan 2015. Me and a buddy put had put in to fish upper bull and we saw this guy go by in a contraption just like that. We did a double take . So we wasn't seeing things after all . Whats the cost of that little TOY$$$ -
Usually don't go near the water on this day, but hey I was home alone and I'm a big boy. On the water at 5 am off by 9:30 am & had 20 by 8:30 with 4 keepers, all LMB no spots or SMB in the mix. Flipped shallow bushes for the last hour nothing then headed home. All fish came on a spook jr around a deep channel swing.
-
Not been out myself, just what I hear? To much time at work and on the tractor in the hayfield. I have heard the tuff fishing mentioned a lot. I won't be out much until after the crowds. Did you see any action out deep? Graphing?

Fish Identification; White, Striper, or hybrid?
Dewayne French replied to rkbrowntrout78's topic in Table Rock Lake
Picture is of a White Bass & Very Typical of the White River chain of lakes. I love catching them on top when that bite is on. I'm like the Proverbially Kid in the Candy Store!!! -
I think he has had to much time in the house and not enough time on the water or golf course Donna hurry up and take the poor guy fishing!!! Now that's funny right there!! NEDFIN

It occurs to the fish in the egg form most often Genetic or Vitamin related from the female fish. Very rarely happens to adult fish except in extreme circumstances like lighting strikes and electric shocks to hatchery ponds brood fish although it could happen to lake coves, as we have all seen lighting strike the water. If your around a hatchery that is or does hatching of eggs it is pretty cool to go watch which ever species it is. It does occur in all species and usually is in a small percentage of the population.

A very nice parting shot for those of us that can't get out during the week HAHA All joking aside nice healthy fish and a super sunset picture.. Good job !!!

We all fish in a short window frame (at least most of us) & truth is sometimes we miss the bite. You can be doing the right stuff in the right place at the right time and they not be biting. We can't hit it right every tournament day or pleasure fishing day. I wise older fishing guide and great guy once told me that he had kept records for years and in looking back at his normal 7 day fishing span. He would have 2 great days, 2 medium days and 3 bad days. I don't get to fish every day and some times I get bites and sometimes not. Fish dont have to eat everyday even in warm water Temps. But in warm water most feed at night. All I can say is keep going I do.
-
Man that just bites!! Great for you and I have been there many times. I wish I had an understanding of why and how?? Bumping the Square bill, Nothing on a wart, and kill them on the SB. Go figure If you was in the same area then you know they had seen the other baits. They just were not triggered until the SB came by and then BAAMMM!! I just don't understand this game. Maybe I need to fish more It does seem to me that when I really catch them good it really is not that complexed of a patteren
-
Could be an old female that didn't produce eggs also is a thought I had, but not saying one way or the other..

My report for sat is not stellar by any shape except for a good ole bigun. I fished from 7-3:30 and was all prepared for a Crankbait, Grub, Jerkbait, and A Rig bite smack down. I love to toss the wart this time of year, but Saturday it was to not in the cards for me. I know there were guys on sat that probably caught the fire out of them on warts, but it didn't happen for me so wrong areas, wrong time, wrong color, wrong something. I went to stained water earlier nothing so I came back later and nothing again. I had to be in clear water to get a bite, so I stayed in the clear water ranging from 3 miles +/- the KC bridge. I ended up with 3 keepers on the A Rig, 1 on the Grub and and a few shorts mixed in. No other action on the above mentioned baits. Water temps 51-53 and the boat had to be in 25 fow tossing shallower early in the day and 38ish later in the day. All the fish all came with in a 100 yard stretch of bank that I would consider a " Pre-spawn staging" area. Birds where present and eating thought the day in several of the spots that I stopped on. The early morning clouds, wind, and spitting rain was nice. I think and as the sun got brighter and later in the day it seemed to put those fish closer to the bottom. The early action you could see bait and fish action in the water column on the graph, but as the day got brighter they seemed to vanish ie.. the bottom I think. Yes I did try the Ned & no I didn't fish it slooowww enough and yes I did toss a shaky head and yes I missed a couple of pick-ups on it. All in all a great day to alive and well in the Ozarks. The Big fish came on the A Rig and was 6.22 no belly as in being full of eggs, but probably shad or craws would be my guess. The A Rig I was using was really the only solid thing I could hang my hat on Saturday. It is one made by Underbite custom tackle out of Yellville, Arkansas and is a special "Missouri Rig" I have them make that only has 3 wires on the back for my hooks and the fronts are used for teasers and blades. It was paired with Jennybugs Swimmers made in Thayer, Missouri..
