Dock-in-it, I have reading your posts for quite a while now and value your inputs. I am heading down to Table Rock on Thursday - Sunday and will be staying in the Kimberling City area. I was just wondering if you have been out lately and have any suggestions for bass fishing. I not opposed to going up the James or down past the dam. Is there a certain area to concentrate on?
Wondering what if the bass are spawning yet and all up close to the shore. Are the shad spawning also?
Hopefully the rain and thunderstorms will hold off.
thanks,
Lobina Grande (Frank)

Fishing at Pomme was tough this past weekend. My club had a 1 1/2 day tournament and only two people had a limit for both days. Winning bag was 22.58 lbs and big bass was 4.90. The weights dropped to 13.6 lbs for third place. There were a couple of other 4's caught. The winner fished all the way down the Pomme arm catching them on jigs and shakey heads. Wood seemed to be the key. Several good size bass were caught on spinnerbaits off of points. Water temps were 80 in the morning and 83 by the afternoon. It appeared that the water level was down by at least 2 ft. It appears that the bigger bass want to start heading closer to the bank.

Thanks for you responses. Going there this weekend and I'll report back.

If you had to concentrate all of your bass fishing in one arm of Pomme (in September) which one would you go to? Or would you fish the main lake area around the dam?

Fishing TR this weekend out of Lazy Lee's in Kimbling City. Have you seen much of a change from last weekend? How is the slime in the Kimbling City area? If it is bad, I was thinking about going old school and swimming a grub on a darter head. I appreciate any info.
thanks,
Frank

I think you should be able to find plenty of good banks without the slime issue. I do not spend much time up shallow, but I think the shallow bite is pretty good. The WT has remained the same for the past week (60 to 62) and I see guys routinely catching shallow fish. Swimming a grub should be effective. The shallow and deep bites are working.
Good Luck!

Thanks for your reply. I had internet issues at the lake and did not get to read your response. We did well using a split shot rig and light Carolina rig throwing up to the bank and getting bit off the 1st shelf. Nothing over 3 lbs though. Others in our group did great throwing a fluke up to the bank and around boat docks. A 5.65 lb largemouth came off a fluke by a laydown. A dropshot worked well also.
Thanks again for your advise.

196champ, Good to hear that someone else on the Ozark Angler website lives near me. I live off of Diehr near Hopewell. I always try to buy my tackle gear at Bullseye. I would much rather pay a little bit extra to support a local store than a "box" store. But, I just can't see spending the money for those glide baits. I'll stick to the bigger Keitechs and other swimbaits. Hope to meet you some day.

They are great people and i try to purchase everything from them as well.
Don't discredit the Spro glide bait as they were $60 each, that's the price of 10 packs of Keitechs and could last you a life time if you dont get it hung!
Going to table rock sunday-tuesday and will give it a go there.
Thanks!

New place for an October tournament
lobina grande replied to lobina grande's topic in Lake of the Ozarks
Thanks for eveyone's help. I spoke to Tom at Station 46 and it sounds great especially for next Spring. They have completed the 2 A-frames and are in construction of 6 more cabins. I plan to stop by there and check it out in person. I am also going to stop by and check out Rock Harbor resort. Has anyone ever stayed there? -
New place for an October tournament
lobina grande replied to lobina grande's topic in Lake of the Ozarks
Thanks for the inputs. I should have stated that our tournaments are a 2 day event on Saturday and 1/2 a day on Sunday. We usually get together on Saturday for a cookout or fish fry. That is why my club would prefer to stay at a resort. -
My club is looking for a new resort to hold a tournament out this October. Not looking for anything fancy just a nice clean place. We hold 2 tournaments a year at LOZ in April and October with anywhere from 25 to 35 fishermen. We would need around 20 to 25 boat slips with a ramp or close access to public ramp. An ample amount of trailer parking is a plus. Thanks!

I have been working on the a couple of electrical issues on my Ranger and wanted to test it out this weekend. How is Mark Twain fishing right now? What is the water level? Any problems with the ramps? I assume that the heat and boat traffic will be an issue but plan on getting on and off the water early. thanks!!

It might be a Navy P-3 looking for submarines.

It was a rough weekend for me to find the "keeper" bass. I fished a small day and 1/2 bass tournament. WT was between 82 and 85 depending on what part of the lake you were on. Caught about 8 shorts around the dam area on Saturday. It was a hot day. Started off with top water for the first hour and 1/2 with not even a sniff. I switched over to jigs and shakeyheads and started to catch short ones. The guys that caught fish said they ran way down the arms and caught them shallow on jigs and plastics, some on crankbaits. I was told that the bigger fish were under the logs in the back of creeks. The majority of the fish were caught early (before 9). Sunday, I made the run to Copper Cove and caught 4 keepers on jigs. Since we had a strong wind from the east, I catch most of my fish on windy points up and down the cove. 18.4 lbs with 10 fish won the tournament and big bass was 4.45 lbs. Hope this helps you. Good Luck

Thanks, I'll report back and let you know how I did!

I am headed to Pomme this weekend for little bit of bass fishing. Has anyone had any luck? What's the water temp and clarity like? I saw where the last Joe Bass tournament caught some nice bass. Thanks.
