For mono I'm Excel or Big Game all the way. Sunline assassin or Sniper for flouro. I'm not out there everyday like Bill though.
-
That deep crankbait bite has been pretty awesome once you find them.
-
There's a big flat up near Piney on the James and there have been bass on it for over a month. I've found that about the only way to get bit on it is to drag a brush hog or lizard carolina rigged. They were still there on Wednesday.
-
True. The way they're eating the deep crankbaits right now you have to be careful just unhooking one. I had one get the back treble in the gill last week. Ended up releasing it and it took off in a hurry. We fished that same area for almost an hour and I never saw a floater so I think it made it. I hate seeing that happen, but that's the only way we could catch em.

I'd normally do the club tourney there in the morning, but couldn't since we're picking up this boat. Last week there were 12 boats there but I felt like the area was pretty quiet compared to mid lake.
-
So my brother and I are picking up our new rig tomorrow and plan to at least start the break in process with the motor. I don't want to battle wake boats all afternoon. Would Cape Fair be the easiest place to put in and putt around getting the first two hours in without battling a ton of traffic, or should we head up the White from Baxter?

Shhhhhhh! Don't tell everyone about the 6XD!

This^^^ We fished the little derby out of Cape Fair last Wednesday and started the day with 4 bags of ice in the well, stopped along the way and bought 3 more. All of our fish wire lively, but we checked them religiously all day. I can promise you, that I'd at least eat the spots if I did that though.

Joe Bass sometimes has an antique tourney on Wednesdays. There are quite a few night tourneys going on right now too.
-
How is it illegal to take one to a weigh in and release it? That's what we did.
-
I'm one of the younger guys and fish it when I can. It's pretty fun and we won last Wednesday. I haven't noticed the cranky attitudes at all. I'd certainly be fine taking your money!
-
HA! I did my part to take one from KC to Cape Fair on Wednesday.
-
I feel goofy now. I use a heavy action rod with a Curado 200G, 20lb flouro and 14lb flouro leader. Am I fishing too heavy of a set up for this? I've been wondering if I'm missing bites, but using a baby brush hawg on the end they seem to thump it pretty hard or simply pick it up and run with it.

Royal Blue replied to abkeenan's topic in Table Rock Lake
We need to stop reminding people to set their lineups. At this point, people forgetting was my strategy to get back in this thing! -
There are always some fish shallow. Whether they bite what I'm throwing or not is another story.
-
The second pic sure looks like a spot to me if I've ever seen one.
-
I do lots of onion burping after a few beers.

We were between K-dock and Mincy the whole day. Fished the front half of the pockets. I think there are fish in all 3 stages of the spawn. We had 10 smallmouth and some were pretty good size. I'd never seen that many small mouth that far up the lake. We caught a couple that were likely on beds. We'd throw our jigs up right on the bank and work them past the old bank line all the way to the boat. There are bluegills EVERYWHERE. I think that's what they're keying on pretty hard. I'd think any dark color jig with green pumpkin trailer would get bit aggressively.
-
Caught several Sunday on Bull with bloody tails and still very much spawning. All 3 species too.
-
There's no way we wake them was my point. I've been that guy fishing on Table Rock and had idiots in wake boats buzz our tower too many times.
-
I've always seen a bunch of canoes and kayaks getting back out at the ramp by Scotty's. No idea where they're putting in but have been interested in finding out. I assume most boats are decent about not swamping them. I know we definitely give them room and come off plane if we see them.
-
Anyone been over there in the last few days to see the water level?
-
I took a few days away from the internet. I missed you Bozos.
-
I have a pair of the Fin 2.0 and they're incredible. I'm gonna have to invest in some canvas ones. Those things pretty sweet.
-
Not to speak for Techo, but I'm sure he meant Table Rock. I fish Bull a lot all year, but mostly way up by K-Dock. There are boats, but they're not lined up taking turns on every single cut and point like they sometimes are on the rock.
