2/25/08 Fishing Report

[Bill Babler]

If your staying at HH, way up the river, clear water won't be the problem.

That's about as far away from the main lake as you can get on Table Rock. Traditional shallow water or stained water presentations work well in the Kings. Depending on the time of year you are up there. Crankin-Spinner-Bugs-Texas Worm-Jig and Craw and Traditional Carolina rigs all work well.

White bass, walleye and crappie do, and are a very good target up the Kings, if your a mind.

For the Bass, you are, eliminating the two largest sub-species by staying that far up the river, unless you fish toward the main lake. Upper Kings, is mainly Largemouth. Main lake is K's and smallmouth in combination with the LM.

Give us a time frame for you visit and maybe we can get you on something, as long as it isn't the next day or two.

What were the water temps Bill?

[Bill Babler]

Current water temp at the mouth of the Kings is 41. Went across the bridge on 86 about a mile from Hickory Hollow Resort one day last week, and the River was frozen, above the 86 bridge. It's not now, since the rain, but I bet its plenty cool.

It's not the just the Rock, it is tough all over right now guys. Two fish 4.45 lbs. won a 35 boat event at LOZ over the w/e. A couple of smaller tournaments on Pomme and Stockton had 1 or no fished weighed in. Come on warm weather and sunshine!!!!!!!

See ya on the water,

Do you think Smoke colored grubs on an 1/8 head would do me any good and if so how deep?

[Jeremy Rasnick]

For those up you heading to Cricket Creek/Long Creek, I was up there on Saturday right below Youcum and Long and the water was chocolate Milk. It has probably settled by now but don't be supprised if it hasn't. From the Cricket Dock North the water began to get very good color with several Dying and Dead 2'' shad.

Where is the best place to get gas on the lake? and where is it located at?
