Fished last 2 mornings til about 9:30 starting at daylight. Swimbait mostly with a spook mixed in on schoolers. Caught 12 yesterday with 5 keepers. Caught 21 this morning with 3 keepers. Found some spoon fish today at the mouth of a pocket. Most fish were deep, sitting boat in 45 to 100 ft. Not my strong suit. But right now I can't catch them shallow. Good luck when you get to go.

Went out today from 6-4, thought the swimbait would be the deal but it just didn't happen the way I thought it would. I caught around 20 so im not totally disappointed but I thought it would be as little better. Also thought I could catch them deep cranking but the water needs to come down a little more I think or at least for me it does. Did start catching them this afternoon on 1/2 oz. ball head with magnum finesse worm. 2 keepers is all I mustered today. WT 82 this afternoon. Good luck when you get to go.

Easy call on this one. Bill Babler.

Fished all day caught somewhere around 20 with 4 keepers. All on swim bait. Nothing spectacular but it was a beautiful day. Fished drops and mouth of pockets. WT 78

6XD for me. 6.85 lb in July with high water like we have now.

Hit the lake before the storm on Thursday morning at baxter. Took shelter pretty quick. After that blew over, started thrusting swim bait on gravel and looking for schoolers. Since I was practicing for the Joe Bass, I didn't want to catch very many on any one spot. Started on gravel and got on one point where I made two cats caught 2 brownies and left. Found done schooling caught 3 keepers out of there. One on spinnerbait, then another on swimbait. After 11, not another bite. My son came down to fish Friday and were fished KC area with same results. Nothing after noon main lake. Up the river was able to get bit in afternoon. Throwing swimbait and crankbaits. Tournament day. Did not get us with the same type of fishing we had been having. No swimbait bite at all for us, finally caught a good black on spook down toward dam. Up the river and caught two more, a 4lb and another good keeper. Lost two others on crank as that is the way it goes. Had a great 3 days on the rock fishing with my son. Good luck when you get out.

Thanks Bill

Coming to H hwy Thursday. Is the courtesy dock usable. Fishing alone. Thanks for any info.

Had to sit in dock slip this morning for awhile and the fishing before that was not very good. I tried to force feed them a couple things. After the storm cane through I went shallow with a wacky rig and caught them pretty good. Had 9 keepers, all lm but 2, 1 spot and 1 sm. They weren't on every bank. Had to have a little depth.

3-5 ft on letdowns Bill

Fished out of SK and my son and I went after crappie. Had 20 keepers with 1 walleye and a white. Great day. Spent last hour spinnerbaits bushes caught 5 with 3 keeps.

That boy can catch em, great job.

If enough bushes stay in the water I think it could. Need to find some more #7 , willow blades. Hard to find for dinner reason.

Fished around that area today and for being post front it wasn't terrible. Caught 15 or so with 10+ keepers. Caught them on spinner and crank. Spinnerbait fish were shallow and watched everyone eat it. Biggest one today was a little over 5 lb. WT 59

Fished Sunday all day I too tried the deep bite with a swimmer, but after 2.5 hours with 2 bites I headed shallow. Caught a dozen on a spinner with 5 keepers, one at 6 lb on my scale. Caught all of them out of bushes running it right over the top. And watching everyone one of them eat it. I will tell you this whether it was the ticket or not, but I was throwing a 3/4 oz. With a huge willow on it. Threw a couple other different kinds and sizes but that was the one they would just clobber. Threw a copper blade. WT 55- 57. Sorry about the pic best I could do.

Great job Doc!!!

Thanks sprint. Glad Cooper got his first jerkbait fish. I just love that bait

It was tough for sure. Tried jerk bait and they didn't want it today. Tried a lot of different stuff but just couldn't make it work. My son caught a good one in the back of a creek on a blade late morning. Thought ok maybe is going to happen. Nope, tried several other areas. Went to cranking a RK, caught 5 more all keepers. Best 5 probably around 15.5. Only caught 6 all day.

Great job sprint I'm super happy for you.

Awesome job Dock

Fished a few hours today with my brother. Caught 10 with 4 keeps. Also caught 2 walleyes, both returned to the lake. All fish caught on jerk bait. Threw the a rig had 3 bites on it but they would just push it. All stuff I fished was flat. Jerkbait bite was about a 6 count and the line would take off. Don't know water temp left my graphs at the house. Didn't really need them though to do what I was doing. Cleaner water was better for the jerkbait.

Fished Joe Bass today and team to the dam to start my day. 2 good keepers on first spot. Then it went dry for a spell. Finally caught another keeper in long creek. Caught 2 more for my limit back toward kimberling. Had 7 bites boated 6 of them with 5 being keepers. All came on jerkbait. 25 and change was first when I left big fish was 7.20. My 5 weighed 12.18. I was glad to have them. Good luck when you get to go.

It was a good time for sure. Tell Becky thank you again.

Fished today at the knob vaught caught 12 with 5 keeps. Jerk bait. Slime is there it to about 8 feet. Same at 86 over the weekend. Water color is clear above the mouth of kings. Dirty from mouth to pla port. Didn't go below there
