Hogfan Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Ok here we go...... If you were trying to catch ol' bucket mouth and could only fish one arm/area on each of the following lakes which one would it be? 1) Table Rock- James River? 2) Lake of the Ozarks- Glaize Arm? 3) Truman- Tebo? 4) Stockton- Big Sac? 5) Bull Shoals- Upper White River (Lead Hill)?
Whack'emGood Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Table Rock - James River LOZ - Grand Glaize (monsters in there!!) Stockton - Big Sac I agree with you on those. I haven't fished the other lakes enough to vote on them. Whack'em P.S. GO HOGS!!!!

Fishing Buddy Don House Posted August 12, 2008 Fishing Buddy Posted August 12, 2008 Here are my votes.. 1) Table Rock- James River when they are on, but don't leave out the White as well.. Coin flip for me.. 2) Lake of the Ozarks- Osage for Me!! Won too many tournaments up there with a big kicker fish.. 3) Truman- Pomme arm for me still the best... 4) Stockton- Not really good on this one but I would vote for the Big SAC 5) Bull Shoals- Upper White River (Lead Hill)? Only fished it once or twice no help here... Also let's don't forget Smithville Lake, up the river.. Used to be one heck of a big bass Pond... Yo Yoing Big 10" worms in the tree tops.. I've seen plenty of 30 pound bags out of this one in it's prime... "Whack" are you a PIG FAN??? I better be quite my whole Family are Hog Fans... Good Fishing Capt. Don Capt.

ozarksfishin Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Whack, I knew there was a good reason I liked you!!! As far as the lake arms go; my personal favorite (especially this spring) on Table Rock is around Kimberling City. There are some big fish around there. Big Don knows what I'm talkin about, he got a pic of an 8 I caught there this spring. Bull Shoals, I would have to say from Lead Hill to K Dock; on Truman, Tebo used to be real good, but I haven't been up there in a while to say. OAF Contributor Phillip Stone http://ozarksfishin.com
am4mu Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Truman - osage and grand Lake of the Ozarks - Gravois Both of these lakes are good all over in my opinion, just mention the above because that is what I am most familiar with. Yeah I am a tiger but love my hogs too. My dad lives in Arkansas. Doug Doug Kiefer Independence, Mo h: am4mu@comcast.net w: dougk@schulzetool.com
rps Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Sorry guys. I may live here, but I was raised in the land of crimson and cream. Hogs are good eating, provided you cook them low and slow. Pig sooey only means the pork butt is done. BTW, the Kings is every bit as good as the James for size - just not for numbers of large. My largest TR bass came from the Kings where it joins the White. Solid 8.5. By now it is dead or 10.5.
Trav Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I agree. The King arm of the Rock is the bomb for me. Sorry fellas, I am all Hawkeyes here. Cyclones follow with a close second. "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson
Gone Fishing Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 Table Rock-have to go with the James Lake of the Ozarks-Glaize Arm Truman-Tebo Stockton-How could you not catch a big'un with a name like Big Sac Bull Shoals-Only fished the Lead Hill end so I'll go with that
Hogfan Posted August 13, 2008 Author Posted August 13, 2008 Very interesting.... I agree with RPS and Trav that there are big fish in the Kings arm but it seems like to me the numbers are better in the James. As far as the HOGS, Hawkeyes, Tigers, and Crimson & Creme go......We'll have to agree to disagree on that one!!
