Whack'emGood Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 We were thinking about going up to Big M tomorrow afternoon/evening to try it. Have been fishing the Kimberling area all spring and haven't been up there yet. Has anyone fished that area lately? Has anyone evening/night fished up there lately? Any results, general patterns, general info would be much appreciated. How's it looking (water color, temp and such)? Thanks in advance for any help.

Whack'emGood Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 Nobody out there has any current info about this area of the lake that they would be willing to share? Please????

Bill Babler Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Whack, Just have not been up there in the last couple of weeks. Don't really have any current info. Sorry. They were on a rig when I was last there. 14 to 28 on the long gravel. Should be some topwater fish early. Good Luck http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Whack'emGood Posted May 17, 2008 Author Posted May 17, 2008 Thanks Mr. B. I will try the points like I have been fishing in the KC area and go from there. I will report what I find. Good luck on the water. Whack'em "Success builds confidence, and you have to learn to trust your instincts and forget about fishing the way a tournament is supposed to be won.

Good luck and let us know how your trip goes. BTW. fish is still swimming in beautiful Table Rock lake

You are right it's times like these that the lake completely changes on where to find the fish, but if you can keep an open mind and be a bit daring (like checking out the flooded yards) the payoff can be great! cricket.c21.com
