Members 3inonegod Posted May 28, 2009 Members Posted May 28, 2009 I am coming down to the rock to fish Friday and Saturday. Anybody that has any suggestions please let me know. I am looking for some good fishing. Thanks I will only be bass fishing and was looking for some pointers, where to go and what to use. thanks for any help.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted May 28, 2009 Root Admin Posted May 28, 2009 Alittle more info would be helpful. Where are you staying or what part of the lake are you fishing? Your experience? There is alot of info already on the forum- reports on Table Rock. Things don't change real fast... reports a week old still should be pretty accurate. I'm sure some of the guys will add some info for you. But for the help, we expect a good fishing report- bad or good- after your trip.
Members 3inonegod Posted May 28, 2009 Author Members Posted May 28, 2009 I will be staying just north of Arkansas on the Kings river arm, I have a fiberglass boat with a 150 horse motor so I would not be against going anywhere. Probably not interested in going real far north though. I have been fishing for about 3 years, throw a baitcaster very well, and have very good equipment. My favorite lure choices are a zara spook, jig and pig, shaky head, spinner bait or a crank bait. I normally stay in Aunts Creek area. I have never fished the Kings arm. Any info would be great. And I promise that I will give a report. There are 3 boats and six guys fishing this weekend. We will all be releasing everything we catch. I have only fished the TRL a few time and never had a whole lot of luck. I think that it was the conditions on the lake more than anything. I like to fish a couple of times a week and would love to get some confidence at TRL. It has to be the most beautiful lake I have ever fished. Thanks in advance to any folks who help.
Members TeamKingTuckey Posted May 28, 2009 Members Posted May 28, 2009 2 weekends ago a buddy and I fished that Big Bass Bash and each weighed in 3 fish a day with both of us in good money we fished out of the Kings both days it was dirty from the rains before the tourney and im sure with this past rain it will be the same. We hit the flats for the top water bite early in the am with the spook producing nice fish then moved on to getting in close to the cover and flipping dark jigs/ blk blu, dark brown ect and spinner baits in pretty shallow water when that sun started showing. My buddy ended up winning one of the hours with a 5.6 out of a fallen tree in the back of a cut with a spinnerbait. Flippin and bait'n produced lots of fish.. dont forget to hit the flats again with the grub and shakey... it got me in good money for one of the hours. gook luck let us know how it goes In search for "Papa Pump" ><(((*>
Members 3inonegod Posted May 31, 2009 Author Members Posted May 31, 2009 Well guys, here goes a fishing story that is true. Me and 3 other guys were fishing deep in the Kings river. We arrived at TRL late Thursday. We fished all day Friday and left Saturday at one. It is the most amazing fishing I have ever had. The bass were gorging on shad. In the morning we found two holes that literally bass were busting all over the top of the water. The bass would leave rings and all you would have to do is throw a junior spook in the middle of the rings and the bass would eat it. The honey hole would be good for about an hour. For the two days we would bounce from the two honey holes and caught about 350 bass. About 50 were keepers!!! I happened to be the lucky one that caught the two largest each day. They were not giants for the TRL standard but they were just shy of 4 pound each. When the shad were popping we caught the fish on rattle traps, spinner baits, zara spooks, plastics, and just about anything else you wanted. I have a few pictures I will attach. I hope to live long enough to have another outing this good. Three of us doubled (two on one lure at one time) and once we all four had a bass on our lines at one time. Thank you TRL. Hope the pictures loaded
