Have u ever dropped a camera and took a look by the buoy in front of water intake?.....there is some rocking horse's there, I wonder if they have been there since lake filled up or if some one put them there?
I got a Storm 10" gizzard shad swim bait at Cabela's last week then last Friday I fished Beaver lake and after 5 hrs of trolling the big bait it got bit and it was a big fish probably a Striper but it came unhooked half to the boat.
I'm not sure how often these Spotted Bass use this spot but two days ago I was looking with sonar around that buoy that is in middle of lake in front of water intake by dam..I saw a school of fish so I dropped camera down to see what they were and they was Spotted Bass, nice ones, looked up to 3lbs....I'm not Bass fisherman so I moved on.
Good question, it's been tough for me also......thot maybe it was just me but I know some other very good walleye fisherman and they have struggled also...
There is a walleye club in Mt. home, mainly a bunch of retired old men from what I've heard......They have monthly meetings I believe, join the club and I bet u could learn a lot about walleye's and catching them on Norfork......W.A.G.......Walleye Anglers Group......I think thats the name.......good luck in your quest!
The new power pool Bull Shoals has the water is up in the buck brush all the time, back in my bassing days I would have loved to have that to fish in instead of waiting for a high water spring.
Now thru June will be the best but its good all summer.....Its a very good walleye fishery.......The camp ground at Hwy 125 is nice or Wagon Wheel resort which is located at the same spot if u want AC(I do)......There is HWY 125 Marina located there also for all the stuff u will need for a stay bait, gas, drinks etc.....That puts u in the middle of the lake.....Whats so nice about that lake is there is no "the lake just got to crowded about 2pm so we went home"......Its a great lake all around.
