Yeah, quite a few cookie cutter 2-3 lb. LM's in the lake this year. I can usually manage one or two a day. Hopefully they'll survive well and we'll see a good class of 4-5 lb. fish in a year or two. Hate to see that cool down coming, it will probably limit my fishing time, but may make some short trips to the Bella Vista lakes.

February 10Th. Current Fishing Report White River Table Rock Lake
Quillback replied to Bill Babler's topic in Table Rock Lake
You got the slam - congrats! I did catch a brown fish today, not a keeper, but it's the first one I have caught in probably a month or so. -
February 10Th. Current Fishing Report White River Table Rock Lake
Quillback replied to Bill Babler's topic in Table Rock Lake
Good deal Bill - I must have missed you today, I was in the same area, except that I did not go up by Eagle Rock. -
Welcome!

Welcome, and nice fish!

Had to get out one more day with this nice weather. Fishing was decent, fish again being concentrated in a few spots. Found some in a couple of coves, maybe a 1/3 of the way back, where the cove split at a point. What I would think of as being pre-spawn spots, but of course it seems a bit early for that, however that's where they were. Deep, 20 feet, near trees in coves on those first points. Had to be a point with deep water nearby and rocky. Mostly largemouth back in the coves, caught a few spots out on a rocky point at a cove entrance off a steep drop off. Got them (the spots) vertically fishing the Ned. Saw some shad down about 30-35 feet on the finder, dropped the Ned to the bottom, brought it just off the bottom and shook it. Picked up 3 bass doing that today. Caught 13 total, maybe 4 keepers. And one short walleye. Water temps 42-43.

Yep, another option, if you want to fish mid-lake, is Copper Mine Lodge. They have a dock also. Never have stayed there myself.

Cool pics of the spoonies!

I got to the launch today about 7:30 in the AM. I was expecting a bit of a breeze, sunshine, and I expected it to be cooler than yesterday, but got there, wind was howling, trees rocking back and forth, signs in the parking lot shaking from the wind, and it was cold! Never did get out of the low 40's. Man it was cold. OK, enough whining. Fishing was tough, caught 8 bass and a 14" crappie. 3 of the bass were keepers, and they all came on the Ned. Caught a couple on a swing jig/Strike King Menace grub combo and one on a jerk bait. A few fish were shallow, 10 FOW and the others were out at 20 feet. Water temps were 42-43.

Always wondered where gar went in the winter.

Nice ones Alex! I was looking at my notes from last year, closest day to todays date that I was out was Feb. 16th - I recorded water temps of 37-39. Looks to be a bit warmer this year.
-
Thinking the same thing, quick warm up may not be so good, may take them a few days to adjust.

Welcome Morgan!

That is a dandy spot!

That's a beauty of a spot!

Good score on the tackle Seth.
-
Good deal Jay Bird, glad to see you got into them, gives me hope for the next time I get out there.

I like a shot of Scotch.. Sorry, couldn't resist

Yeah I saw that he was in Springfield, kind of vague as to what hours he is there and what he is doing. I thought it would be neat to pick up a 6XD or two and have him sign them. Not that I would make the 2 hours drive for a KVD autograph, but if he happened to be there, what the heck..
-
Thanks for asking. Might have to make the drive.
-
I wonder if the Zebras are partly responsible for the clearing. Or maybe it's just a lack of runoff.

There's several things on sale in the flyer I would like to purchase online. Based on what I see on the website and in the flyer, the sale should start today - but I don't see any sale prices on their website. Is this instore only? Really don't want to make the drive. Flyer makes it sound like you can buy most of the stuff online, but it's not clear. Website offers little info. Anyone know what is going on as far as online sales?

Good to see that Biffle head working, may have to start poking around with it myself.

Welcome Alldone if you post your offer in the White river section, you'll probably get some interest. I've always been thinking about going up to Michigan to do some steelhead fishing, used to do it in Washington state, it would be fun to fish for some of those Great Lakes steelies.
