Big Bass

[focused fishing]

Table Rock: The James has greater numbers of big fish but my biggest came from the Kings

LOZ: Osage, from the Lodge through Hurricane Deck

Truman: That Lake hates me, I've done best up the Osage

Stockton: Big Sac / Turnback Creek

Bull Shoals: Toss up between above Lead Hill and Theodosia, it's alot like TR, I've caught more big fish in the White but my best fish came from the Theodosia arm.

Noone mentioned Pomme de Terre: Main Lake humps and roll offs in the summer, for a little pond it has some big fish

Hawkeyes, tigers and hogs .... oh my. Sorry I'm a darn Yankee (from Ohio not N.Y. fan) and a Buckeye Fan

Don you were mentioning Smithville Lake i have fished 5 tournies this year up here and only saw a couple 6 lbs, and a 7. It has been a very tough go up here all year. A lot of good fisherman have gotten blanked more than once, maybe 15 -20 limits all year that i have seen . Hopefully it will rebound next year a lot of 14 in fish this year. My goal is to stop getting skunked down there; The Rock has frustrated me all year ! Hopefully gas can get decient again and we can get some of you southerners up for a tourney. Smithville Marine puts together nice prize packs. www.mstaonline.com

When you folks mention the Glaize arm at LOZ, are you thinking above PB2?

They all get fished. Pretty hard. Everyone left out the upper ends of Bull from Bee to K Dock. There's one or two moose's left around there I guess if anyone could get to them this year with the lake super high. But probably the James on T.Rock hosts the most big blacks. Look at where all the post spawn and summer tournaments are won at. I get to live up here and enjoy fishing in my day's off. On day's they decide to get angry, they can almost tear up a guy's arm.
