Since there are no new reports, I take it the fishing sucks on both ends of the lake.

what are the water temps and clarity like around elbo and tucker? any body catching any eyes or crappie?

Be sure you get a permit. I ca..ed the Corp last year and they told me you have to have a permit. They allow beds and brush piles every other year.

Is Bull Shoals considered a stained or clear water lake or both? I fish from Diamond City to Forsyth. If I drop a white jig down, it usually disappers about 1 to 2 ft down. I guess that is stained. Yet I catch most of my fish on a natural colored bait, instead of some bright color. Just wondering. Thanks

What is your favorite method of getting bait deep? Lead core, bottom bouncer, in line weight. Why do you prefere that method ?

Wish this post had been here when I got my first fish finder. Would have saved me lots of frustration. LOL This is a very good idea and I hope it continues. I an still looking for a picture of a fish laying on the bottom. I don't know the differance between rock bottom and a fish. Keep up the good work.

Looks like the hot weather has shut down the fish bite or the fishermen. I don't see any raving reports lately. I know I am fishing only in the evenings and after dark. The captain can't stand the heat (wife).

what is a blunt point? Thanks ahead

thanks to every one. I will try all methods and let you know what happens.

what sort of water are you trolling? near brush piles, coves, points. I have no idea where to start. Thanks Lonnie

what size jigs were you using to stay on the bottom? what color too. great report

cought a large fomale white at the whisles Monday. Only bite we gought. trolled the jhonson hole area with night crawlers and spinner rig. caught two small eyes and one little gill. my guestion is where are the bigger eyes and crappie?

Any one catching any crappie?.Where and how? Thanks Lonnie

I had a Lowe 175 stinger. I loved the setup. Two live wells,minnow buckets. I changed the trolling motor to a 24v, 71 lb. I trolled a lot for walleyes. This would run me all day with plenty of power. I liked the fact that it is wider than a Tracker too. Made it a lot more stable. The only thing I didn't like was the ride in rough water. Can't have everthing though. The next boat will have a Minnkota troller on it. The motorguide is noisy.

Good read!!

Do you pay any attention to the wind direction? east, fish bite least,etc. How about the moon phase, or the baromiter. Rising of falling? Or do you just go and hope for the best?

STEEEEEP AIN'T IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Your map says the same thing as mine. Allison Flats is across the lake fron AB Fine.

I always thought that was called Tucker flats. Thats what I call it any way. Thanks guys for the replies.

I got to know now. My maps don't show any Allison Flats. Where is it? I thought I fairly well knew the lake but I guess not. LOL

Mike , where is Allison flats? I don't find it on my map. Thanks for your reports. You give hope to us average fisherman. Lonnie

I was refering to Hogan Creek.

Took a little drive today. Went to the Cedar Creek area to do a little scouting. Hogan creek road is really shallow, will be a problem putting in and taking out. Next was Yokum Creek. This is the best place to put in. The road drops off just like a boat ramp. Elbow is like last time. You will have to turn around at the top of the hill and back all the way down. Beaver is pretty good shape on the creek side. Plenty of room to turn around and back in. You will have to go aways to park, as the parking is along the road. All the parking is along the road every where you go. When it cools off I will be heading out. Old fat men and hot weather don't mix. LOL
