TroutRinger Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 I'm going to be down near Horseshoe Bend this weekend. Anybody have any reports? "Of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy." "There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot."
Members Rodney Bledsoe Posted May 27, 2009 Members Posted May 27, 2009 I'm going to be down near Horseshoe Bend this weekend. Anybody have any reports? The lake is muddy, go up the Gravois Mills area much cleaner water. We did fished the cove @ 6 mm and caught quite a few fish. They seemed to key on baits with chart. in them.

405z06 Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 Edited: Poor attempt at humor The fish we caught on Sunday were shallow on main lake points that had seawalls. We caught them on bright-colored Wiggle Warts.
TroutRinger Posted May 27, 2009 Author Posted May 27, 2009 So are all bass off the beds? I would have thought they were for sure, but I read a report that said they still were...and are there any spawning activities for other species.

Members Ryno Posted May 28, 2009 Members Posted May 28, 2009 Ill be fishing thur. and friday i'll hopefully post a good report. I fished on monday and it wansn't very good. "set the steel to em"
Members Ryno Posted May 30, 2009 Members Posted May 30, 2009 Just got back, fished mid-lake, it was pretty slow day and a half just a few keepers in the boat caught several small ones. Had our best luck on jig and pig, chompers, or brush hogs. Best luck seemed to be in small pockets toward the backs of coves around structure next to seawalls (weeds, dock supports, transitions, steps, etc.). Good luck!! "set the steel to em"
fishinwrench Posted June 1, 2009 Posted June 1, 2009 I haven't been on the lake myself, but the reports I'm hearing in the Gravois Mills and Laurie area... are outstanding. Bass: Good carolina rig, and/or drop-shot bite on the points. And a killer Frog bite in the backs of coves. Topwater bite is consistent early and late. And swimming worms (1/4oz., 6" Culprit's or similar) steadily through 10-12ft. brush will get you bit all day long. Channel cats: are ON FIRE ! it seems everywhere. Crappie: limits of keepers are apparently no problem, once you find them....but big Slabs are getting scarce.
