Dang, I won't be able to get over there for several days, shad will probably be done spawning by then. However they ought to move out in the lake once they are done and that could make for some good fishing.
One more thing - we got checked by the warden when we were done and in the lot. 4th time the MO wardens have checked me on Table Rock. Only once in Arkansas. MO leads AR 4-1 on Quillback checks.
Hey, I was at the dam area myself today. My buddy Ken and his BIL were out there too, and the striper karma was with them. For me, not so much, I caught one 3 lb. striper.
The smallmouth were biting well, they are post spawn and hungry. I caught a couple dozen, a few on top, but most on the Keitech.
The pavilion is right by the Corps ramp. It's been a while since I have been there, but I think it might be a couple hundred yards from the marina to the pavillion. I'd be happy to give you a ride over, I'll PM you my cell number
Here is who I have coming, if anyone else is in, reply here so we know approximately how much food to bring.
