Fishin Report For Long Creek And Yocum

[ozarksfishin]

The fish are on the move in the Long Creek and Yocum areas on Table Rock. With the water temps in the low to mid 50's, the fish are following the shad back into the creeks. Mostly white bass and crappie can be found on the large flats and shoals in the upper end of Long Creek. The fish are still about a week to week and a half out of really turning on good, but I have been able to catch a few over the last couple of days. Most of the active feeding fish have been relativley shallow in 2-8ft. of water on these flats. Look for fallen trees from the ice storm to hold better numbers of crappie. There are several of these laydowns scattered about, and as the bite gets better, the crappie will stack up in these trees. I have also been graphing large schools of white bass in these same areas, they are really concentrated around the schools of shad right now. All it will take is a good rain and things will really turn on. Should be a good year for the whites and crappie, lets keep our fingers crossed!
