Well we didn’t get 15 pounds. We got a 5 bass limit between us for 12.3. Had one 3pounder,,two that were between 16.5-17”, then two that barely made 15”. We basically only fished 4 areas due to being in a smaller low HP boat. We couldn’t get bit on top water or on SB even though there was decent wind in a few spots. Four of ours came on a GP jig. Some others we talked to did much better with 16+ lbs on what they guessed was around 12+ keepers. We clearly missed something that they didn’t.

I’l be back there to fish for one day on Saturday. I’d like to be able to get at least a buddy limit again, but getting 15 pounds like you did would be fantastic.

Well we fished 3 Days last weekend it was some pretty tough fishing Friday my partner caught a 3.75-4 pounder but we only had two other keepers to go with it Saturday we managed five keepers but they were all between 15 to 16 1/4 inches Sunday we manage for keepersWith the best one being around 17 inches. We had somewhere around 4-6 short’s each day along with those. Had a few on a buzz bait A few on a spinner bait and the rest on three different soft plastics. Both Saturday and Sunday we had a flurry where we caught multiple keepers in 10 minutes without those two flurries our days would’ve been much worse. Our 9 keepers went 21 lbs for our sat-Sunday weight

I bass fished it once last year for just one day. That day was slow and we grinded out a small buddy limit. I will be back for some bass fishing in about a week as well, hoping for a better bite. Will be there 3 days this trip. If anyone has been bass fishing it would be great to read an update.

How has the bass fishing (green ones) been recently? I'm hoping the slight cooling of air temps translated into better bass fishing. Are they turning on to anything in particular ex. good spook bite yet? My bro and nephew are heading down there this weekend for a couple days.

Nice one! I can’t believe it only took you 10 mins to bring it in, especially with all the trees in that place

I fished from 9:15 till 4:15 Saturday and it was brutal. I had 2 bass, 1 that was maybe a keeper and a keeper crappie, buddy had 2 or 3 small bass and 2 small crappie all on bass lures. My buddy was up there for a day the weekend before and had a decent amount of keepers. We fished his best area from the previous weekend very thoroughly(couple hours), and only 2 bites no fish, and he easily had a limit with 2 nice ones last weekend. So our thoughts were: water falling, full moon, big storm early in the AM, we suck, all contributed to the bite change(not ranked in order of importance aside from the falling water). We fished a little of Indian creek but mainly just south of the bridge

12lb on Sunday? That was a really tough day, just getting a keeper is a big accomplishment in my book. Did your nephew get to weigh in something and get that experience?

Wrench, is that pic from this year? I thought the lipless bite didn't start till temps were at least over 45. How far off am I?

Wow, those are some good weights. I would always be happy with 18 pounds, good job! Let's us know when the other night tournaments are, sounds fun, even if u have to be a machine to cash a check, doesn't mean you can give it a try and have some fun!

How was the turn out for the night tourney? Also, how often do you run a night tourney? I would think the weights would've been big. Can you provide any report?

Wow I didn't know it is as common for some folks to catch trout from the lake. But it does make a lot of sense what has been said about the rivers and streams flooding and pushing them into the lake. It's funny to me all the different baits that have been mentioned too.

Was good size to me, 16.25".

I've asked around and no one I've talked to has ever caught a trout out of TR. I did on Saturday around noon, around kimberling area, on a 3/8oz, double willow spinnerbait. I was shocked! Anyone else ever catch one out of the lake?
