our lower unit went out - we trolling motor/idled in the take off cove and around bridge .... toughest fishing I've had in a decade? we had 2 keepers in 2 days, i think I only caught 5 total fish (finesse baits) 3 years fishing it, 3 years motor trouble ... we've not had a chance yet to fish it really

the channel ? lol ... no, they were motoring in 3' of water and ran by us within easy flipping range ... they were 30 yards from the channel !

we went way up to Coal Camp creek pre-fishing on Friday my uncle hooked a 7 pound-ish fish, come off at boat Saturday our biggest 5 probably went 15-16 pounds .. but nothing over 3.5 pounds Sunday we stuck with the same plan - and had same results Good fishing, didn't have to fight so many boat ... but there was one boat thought it'd buzz us planed out at about 20' .... I wish I'd have thrown my crankbait into his boat as he went by. CAN'T STAND THAT

I'm fishing - past Ivy Bend , way up ... hope it aint too shallow

my partner caught a 5.84# fish ..... 3rd hourly, 10th big of tourney i think ? Sat was harder than Sun for us 7.11 # won yes, I heard there was 3300 people in it this year ? wow gazillion shad, that he caught it on top water is amazing, we didn't get a single top water bite

could you send me more info please ? Brad 816-9140-1105

why are some jigs better than other? how they fall, hook design, material ??

we fished close to there on Friday - feared the wind in my 2002 Sabre on Saturday .... how bad were those channels / waves on Saturday afternoon ?

Bass Cat OI ? I'm driving up Wed morning ... prefish a bit Wed/Thu and I'm a newbie to the lake as well. I'm guessing it fishes like most Ozark lakes. .. in the backs of creek arms, 60-62 right now, main lake a bit colder, dam area colder .... colored water towards back of creeks, much clearer main lake/dam areas. any locals ... am I right on my guesses ??

"Can we go ahead and ban the A-Rig already? " they really need to poll the anglers who fished this and get the % on who wants A-rigs in the future if allowing them, night as well allow trolling and using multiple rods and even live bait .... all legal means of fishing, just like the A-right right? I'm for banning them in tournaments

nice I thought our fatal flaw might have been not fishing more main lake stuff ... looks like i was right !

agreed ..... except the boat on Sunday morning that motored in on us on a point in Big Indian .... literally not another boat in sight and at 6:22 am he motored to where his casts met my casts at 6:30 first cast text .... I thought that was a bit too much considering not another boat in seeing distance

A-rigs I saw being thrown, but the jerk baits a LOT There were people everywhere - bluff's, shallow flats, timber, points, .... boat docks didn't seem to be getting a lot of attention I wonder if the main lake pockets wasn't where some of the bigger fish came from ?

we hammered the fish on THU/FRI .... Sat night as much, yesterday was tough. Several in and around 3# but nothing we could have won $$ on no idea where the big fish were on Thursday we must have caught 50 Kentucky bass, and THu/FRI our top 5 would have went 12-13 pounds I imagine ... several in the 15-17" range, fat hefty fish anybody know what the big fish bite was? we went into Kings Fri/Sat and the numbers were there, just not big, Sunday we were in Big Indian, too much shad kill IMO

need a prize for most Kentucky bass between 15-16" .... I think we'd have won that today
