When I was looking at the ramps, I talked to a couple of guys at Hartley. They said they had to go up river to find there fish. They said it was tough.

I don’t know. I’ve only been once and just had 12. If the rain settles down and the river mud clears, I plan to find out. Nothing is as good as it used to be before the Bull Shoals die off in 2002. I plan to go Wednesday but I will be a long ways from white bass country.

The courtesy docks are pulled out of the water. COE left them close by. DNR has them a long ways out. The pontoon dock ar Hartley is the only close one that I saw.
-
We have been self quarantined for several days now and I am going nuts. My doctor recommends I do this for 3 months. After lunch I am going to drive down to Stockton and have a look around. If there is anything worth mentioning I will report this evening.
-
According to USGS it has come up 8 inches today.
-
Much of the time deer cross a timber line that is about 240 yards from my lawn chair which I set up by my truck. Any closer and they might detour.
-
I always sight in at 200 yards. That way I may be a bit high at 100 or less but can comfortably take longer shots.
-
You may want to call COE or State Park and check on the curtesy dock situation the way the lake has risen.
-
I can do line # test but don’t know about diameter. Ill see if I have it.
-
There is going to be water coming down the James also. We have had 6” of rain at the farm south of Hurley in the last 4 days.
-
They would definitely feed us with some left over. Nice looking specs there. So has muddy water made its way down to Hawker? I just can't catch fish in cold muddy water. It is a bit early for me to be down by the dam but warm weather may put me there looking for greenies.

I had planned to watch March Madness. Now I am watching birds in the back yard fighting over worms. So far the score is Cards 4 and the Jays 2.

These fronts can really mess with prespawn whites. I’ve seen a front come through and cause them to turn and head back toward the lake. All but 1 of the whites that we caught Friday were heavy with eggs but did not look real close to spawning.
-
My wife has walked most of them while I was out fishing.
-
I cannot catch fish in cold muddy water. I was on fish consistently in the James till muddy water came down last week and killed the bite.
-
Some one must have we struggled in muddy Son’s Creek for 2 hours this am. Not a bite so I headed up river. Stopped on a couple of points and caught a dozen close to spawning female whites. We never had a black all day. Man that ne wind, cloud cover, and temps in the 40s did a number on this old body.
-
I moved my operation south for the winter. Table Rock doesn’t treat me so bad in the winter. I do plan to be on Stockton maybe SonsCreek tomorrow.
-
May be the same one I saw too far up Turkey creek by the bridge.
-
That’s probably right but plane is too fast to dodge stuff. Besides the last time I tried it was with a guy who said he knew just how to go. That little trip cost me $800.
-
He may have been. I don't know anything about river levels. All I know is what I read about lake levels. My boat won't go very far up a river.
-
Welcome back hope all is well with you. Bass reports have been slim on this site.
-
Perhaps we aren’t talking about the same levels. All I know about is the lake level as reported on USGS.
-
Level holding around 870. I plan to go Friday if they don’t get too much rain down there.
-
I use heat shrink tubing The Mud Hole. I like the red/black best.
-
I’ll know for sure after Thursday. I’m really getting tired of Arigs and shaky.
