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,

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!
Brad
