Fish24/7

great story !thanks

more of the same, went again Friday and Saturday morning to diff spot. Same conditions, ankle to knee deep water and this time I brought a little heavier rod, a 6'6m spinning w/ some 6lb xt trilene tied to freshly painted translucent, watermelon candy gill tiny torpedo. Spent the first hour and a half Fri. landing small ky's and lm on the torpedo. Hooked one lm about 3lbs but my drag was too tight and she pulled off. Saw a couple more 15"+ ky's , really nice fish, but they were extremely spooky. Watching multiple wakes racing to inhale the topwater got my blood flowing! Once the sun hit the water, no more bass. Tried a Ned and a slider but the bass were done I guess. Pretty much same scenario Sat. but the bass were smaller than Fri. Went back to the pickup and got the mirco stuff and found some bigger gills than last time, I would say they were just about big enough to eat, but I put them all back. Same tackle, tiny rooster tail, micro jigs w/ power bait. rooster tail has caught so many fish it's down to 1 hook left on the tiny treble. Hair is about all gone, wire has been bent and re bent so many times I'm surprised it hasn;t broke. Gold blade, chartreuse body with red spots and red/chart tail/hair. A few gills still spawning, mostly pumpkinseeds guarding the nest. Toss a Rebel cricket hopper near them and they would come up and grab it on top

6/26 spent about 3 hours yesterday afternoon wading . Since the water has dropped it has made for some excellenfishing! Armed with my trusty mirco light gear I ventured out and on my very first cast with a rooster tail I was promptly holding a nice pumpkinseed. Gills were so thick through that stretch I fished it was a bite or a hook up on practically every cast Hook one, and there would be 6 or 7 follow. Now these were not GIANTS, and none of them were big enough to eat, but catching them one after another after another was pretty exciting! Caught 1 nice keeper spot and a couple 8" lm too. Was kinda concerned about snakes, but never saw 1. Although I bet they saw me Caught some creek minnows that croaked like a catfish lol. .

I love Bull, so many mysteries !

first walter, nice! thanks for posting

those things in their mouth are pretty common nice slab! appreciate the report!

no life vests ! oops, wonder if the boat owner even offered any , smh hey, if somebody wants to take that kind of boat ride w/o a life jacket on, be my guest , have at it, go for it! , I mean almost rammed that log dang

I read it, then immediately forgot about it. lol He knew what he was stirring up when he wrote that.

it's hot, and so is the gill bite! been chasing them for the last week or so, best day was 400+ , yeah it's that good! Been using homemade micro ice jigs tipped w/ power bait worms, 2 jigs tied about 6-8" apart. Hook a gill and let it swim around a few seconds before reeling it in and you'll catch 2 at a time! best areas have been in the very back of coves in 7-11 fow, or find a creek arm and run to the very back of i.You never know if it's gonna be a 2" gill or 10" lol The majority have been palm size. Perfect for jugs and trotlines if you want to catch a few spots and lm bass I found some on main points at daybreak with a squarebill and buzzbait. That bite was over for me by 8am.

Moved to a shallow cove w/ a smaller creek w/ some water flow and caught 6 largemouth on a small Spro frog and 1.5 sq. bill in the channel. One of those was a 16".

guys I worked at a marina for 16 years. I've seen it ALL Stuff you could never imagine.. One day a person untied most of my cable marker bouys and brought them to me and said "I found them floating in the lake tied to a cable"... no duh. Another time, diff person, lake was max flood pool and after walking 100's of feet of walkway to get to the marina they asked in a very serious manner " Is this dock floating on the water?, because I can't swim!"

gained a little, at least they are generating 3 units for 24+ hours so far otherwise it would be a mess

i'm sure the feel of the first bass you caught in your hands put a smile on your face Wonder how high she'll go now after the almost 3" rain I got yesterday and the 5-6"+ they got in the last 2 days 10 miles North of me ;( Creek slabs and roads were washed away ...

I use the one's I make w/ a guard. They have the fine fiber guard with a few pieces trimmed to size and the others have a do-it wire guard. With Bull Shoals as high as it is we've been fishing these heads deep in the brush . Might lose 2 or 3 a day at the most. The EC lil nasty hooks on them have yet to let a fish throw the hook. Every one that gets stuck w/ that sickle hook gets in the boat. The jig is also flat on the bottom and oval shaped like a mojo weight which keeps it from hanging in the rocks and helps the bait climb over and through wood. Don't use super glue either. The bend in the hook keeps the worm in position most of the time. Currently sold out, but will be making some more.

Nobody believed we had a pet Roadrunner named Frank. Hand fed him oranges, he lived on our back porch.. He just showed up one day and wouldn't leave. Followed us around the yard like a stray/lost puppy. Stayed the whole winter. Loved to play hide and go seek, I know it's weird ..... of course he did most of the hiding and I would seek .
