Might Be Getting Started

[Bill Babler]

I have been on Taney all week, but Bill Beck has been fishing the rock. He did pretty well winning a little derby out of Kimberling this last weekend. I believe he had 14 pounds on a jerkbait. 4 bites and caught them all.

He has been fishing the White this week and is getting about 8 to 10 bites a day, putting about 2/3rds of them in the boat.

Bill reports some really nice quality. Here is the kicker. He is starting at daylight or slightly before. 99% of the action is coming by 8:30 or 9 AM, so you only have a couple of hours.

Best temps he found up there were 47. Like Don reported he is also seeing lots of bait and fish, they just won't bite.

The bass are up pretty close as the day begins but they are pulling off the bank and suspending in or near the main channel, and just seem impossible, after the early bite.

Let us know how your doing.

Man o man. A week of 70 degree weather is all we need.
