Caught a rainbow trout in the lake, how commons that?
Quillback replied to Lookin45get2's topic in Table Rock Lake
I have caught 3 so far, two on a Ned and one on something else (I can't remember). -
Nice bunch of greenies.

If I was making my own wobbleheads, I would pour them with the hook hanger horizontal and put something like a 60 degree jig hook on it. If you do that, you can put one of those spring type bait holders on the eye of the hook and thread the bait on and then Texas rig it. Keeps the bait from getting pulled down to the hook bend when you get a bite and your bait will be more secure when pulled through cover. I pretty much use 1/2 or 3/4 oz heads with creature type baits.

Thanks for the report, I was curious how things are in that area.

Not something I would want as a pet. Especially when they graduate to eating whole chickens and rabbits.

Can anyone explain how the scoring works? Seems like it is heavily weighted towards day 1. I had 4 guys on day 3 and only got about 30 points. None of those bums made the top 12, so looks like a goose egg for day 4 for me.

Military thing, call your weapon a "gun" in basic training or boot camp and it will be the last time you do it, at least while you are in the military. Not defending it, but that's the way it is. I doubt Marine boot camp is like this anymore:

Does flood condition effect harvest?/fish size?/recruitment?

Saw some of what AGFC had to say about Beaver being high, and they say it will lead to better fry survival due to more cover being available. -
Nice fish, thanks for the report!
-
Fish more often.
-
Yep, something to keep in mind if you launch there.
-
Didn't they put some boulders at the end of that parking lot? I think I remember seeing them,.

Bassfest is this week, don't forget to make your activations.

Launching at Big M with the high water is kind of a pain, so I decided to fish Indian creek. I like it, Indian creek that is, scenic, lots of places to fish, not much pressure, and closer to the house by 20 miles. Every once in a blue moon I have a good day there, but in general it is tougher than TR for sure. Good luck at Big M, and if you don't mind let me know how you do.

I looked at the Horseshoe Bend area a few days ago, water was brown. I thought the same thing, If I was going to fish that stuff. I'd be fishing the banks with jigs, t-rigged plastics, square bills and spinner baits. Just don't know if it would be any good. Maybe try and find some cleaner water in the backs of coves. But the water color is much better on the dam end, sure looks good back in Indian creek, but it was tough fishing.

Thanks for the info, fished the Indian Creek arm with a buddy yesterday, and we didn't have near the success you did. We caught about a dozen bass, mostly smallmouth, but small fish in the 11-14" range. Did not try any stick baits, we got them on jigs, ned, and c-rigging craws. I wonder if anyone is fishing the brown water mid-lake and having any success.
-
Very nice!
-
Pearl worked, I'll be darned. Fish coloration gets lighter in heavily stained water, so I guess it makes sense.
-
Congrats on some good fishing! Heckuva nice day to boot.

Always a scary think to feel that thump when you hit something, happy to hear no damage.

I've had days where it seemed the 130 would start to spook bass. Usually that would occur on schooling bass that are busting shad. I'd throw the 130, get a few fish, then they acted like that 130 was spooking them. Switch out to a walker or the 90 size and I would start getting bites again. 110 might be a good compromise.
-
Received an email from Tacklesupplydepot.com and they say they expect to get this new sized WP sometime at the end of May. You would think that other tackle stores will get it around the same time. This size is in between the current two sizes, 90 and 130.

Read in the paper today that the White near Clarendon is expected to peak tomorrow. From what I can tell from reading various sources, is that they aren't going to move water out of the White river chain of lakes until the down river flooding recedes. That's my reading of the tea leaves, FWIW. Good news to all this, according to AGFC, is if the lake stays high for a while it will give the fry cover and should lead to better fishing down the road.

Just saw where they are calling for a "weather pattern change" for late next week. Could lead to another round of heavy rain for a few days next week. Let's hope they are wrong.

Just a few weeks ago I was fishing on Table Rock for crappie using a 1/16oz jighead with a swimming minnow. Got hung up, tightened down and gave it a yank, got hit right in the eyebrow, whacked me pretty good, drew some blood and I had a nice little bump. Didn't have time to dodge, happened pretty quick.
