84 champion

Fished a couple of hours Sunday in Buzzard's Creek near Cape Fair. Saw 4 other boats working the same area. Quite a few bites on pumpkin Zoom Dr. in 14' to 18' but no fish in the boat. Fished looked to be holding tight to the bottom. I think we were dragging across beds and they were just getting the bait out of the way rather than hitting it hard. Water was fairly stained and fry were hitting an insect hatch in one of the smaller coves. Beautiful day but I think I hit well used water. I might try wacky worm rigging next time.

I moved down to the Ozarks from Nebraska last June. I have 3 boys 4, 8 & 12. Not to concerned with fish size, I am mostly looking for good numbers to keep the kids engaged. Took the boat down to Bull Shoals (Beaver Creek Area)and Table Rock (Buzzard's Hollow & Aunt's Creek) and had very mixed luck. This ain't Nebraska fishing! Could use some advise on some decient locations/ methods to take the kids. I am upgrading the electronics to do some drop shotting this summer. No idea what the spring bite is like. Thanks!
