7:30 Saturday Report

[Bill Babler]

Tournament Reports are coming in on todays action out of Aunts Creek, Guys and Gals, out of Kimberling and a State Park tournament at the dam.

Huge stringer of fish with lots of 5, 6 and 7 pounders, mostly Largemouth, coming out of the muddiest water you can find in the buck brush.

Seems Lake wide except for the Upper White, which is gin clear where I fished yesterday. Of Course...

Power fish with Charturse bladed Spinner baits, with big willow or as large as you can find hammered copper.

If you catch one it is a good possibility another will come out of the same bush. Reports are they are aggresive and violent. Many fish lost due to being mean.

Most lake reports water at 52 degree lake wide.

Put your trolling motor on high and fly down the bank covering as much water as possible. Don't forget that there are bushes both out from the bank, and behind the standing in water trees.

Lots of reports of waking the bait over the bushes and having huge fish boil onto the bait.

Don't guess you need a gentle presentation, only a noisy one.

Most reported the bite really started about Noon, and didn't stop all the rest of the day.

I'm out tomorrow and see if I can get in on the dirty water action.

Hope this helps, Good Luck and Good news, we sure needed it.
