    I can see the pros and cons to both sides, but I agree with Dan. I don’t think some people know the difference and could start keeping 12 inch largemouth . That obviously does the lake no good.

    I saw Table Rock came up about 3 feet in the last day. I would guess the trout will start munching.

    Good report, nice to hear from guys fishing Bull.

    Hit it at daylight this morning. Saw rain in the forecast but not a drop, these weather forecasters need a new job. Fished around point 9 and really struggled . Spook, keitech and grub, jig and Ned. Nada nothing Could hear the water coming in to the creeks last night and the lake is up over 918. Fished shallow out to 25

    Fished down by Baxter and caught a couple on a swim jig and a grub. Moved up to wolf pen and had a few on a magnum GP purple trick worm. Lost one at the boat that might of went 5 , she jumped smiled and waved goodbye. Finished up in little aunts couple on a 5/16 jig with a menace trailer and my buddy caught a nice largemouth on a spook. Same conditions as Dutch said. We might run up the James later.

    The lake jumped up to 918 and with all the water they are running at the dam it looks like it's dropped a foot. A little stability would help things but I'm seeing rain chances through Wednesday.

    I didn’t mean to discredit Bablers reporting but he is all about pickle ball now from what I hear . 😂

    Wenners has a good report on water conditions dated May 1. I don’t know anyone anywhere that gives as good a report as Pete Wenners. With the weather going on now you just gotta get out there and fish . I’ll be down Monday and I’m gonna go right one day and left the next and see what happens. Good luck

    If you get back to that area over the weekend could you let me know what you see as far as water clarity and debris or floaters. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    I like 917 , it puts just enough bushes in the water without it turning into a jungle. I’ll be heading down next Monday, with or without the curse of Vernon !
  11. willyfish
    I forgot about Vernon. 😂 917 is perfect but this has the makings of a lot higher than that, I hope I'm wrong
  12. willyfish
    I really hope the lake doesn't flood.

    Wenners said the same thing. What do you think is causing the water color? Is it runoff or turnover? Rain in the forecast over the next couple weeks. I'll be down on the 6th and a spinnerbait sounds like it could be the deal.

    My gosh that is a big Crappie! They say this lake isn't good for Crappie and that may well be true but you can't deny there are some big ones in it for sure.

    Did anyone fish yesterday before during or after the eclipse? We all hear about how the moon phases affect fishing and nature. Was there a noticeable difference on the water or on shore?

    Looks like this guy is staring at the screen to me. Maybe his graphs aren't set for scoping but that isn't the picture I would show for a non scope event. LOL
  17. willyfish
    If that's the case I would agree with Shell Knob or even Eagle Rock. I'd go to Bull to be honest. It's that special time of year, have fun and good luck.

    JImmy Houston is live scoping muskies. He lost a big one. That thing shot up like a freight train to grab his bait which looked like a giant tube with trebles. Pretty funny to be honest

    It's definitely more enjoyable watching these techniques compared to a FFS tournament. Seeing dock cables and guys like Cherry throwing a jig behind a dock or cranking shallow rocks is better TV.
  20. willyfish
    It's crazy for us that "blind" fish. Think how many times you pull up on a spot to fish and catch nothing and you leave thinking they weren't there. In truth a lot of times they just ignored your junk. FFS just takes the guess work out of the equation.
  21. willyfish
    I read these two guys were both 19. I think the kid that won at Lake Fork earlier this year was 19 too. When you have low 50s wind and clouds and its pre spawn this will become more common with FFS. It's the perfect recipe and the stars were aligned. Experience and time on the water is not a prerequisite for success these days. Hats off to them. It's a different ballgame now.

    There was a time when I was interested in reading articles on Bassmaster or Bassfan after tournaments to see how practice went and eventually how the top finishers figured the puzzle out. Not any more

    Thanks, I haven't seen the flyer in the mail.
  24. willyfish
    When does the annual sale start? The one when we go buy a bunch of crap we don’t really need but we do it anyway.
  25. willyfish
    Thanks Quill. Always good to hear what the MDC has to say. All the species in the lake seem to be in good shape.
