Members Nolan_Whaley Posted August 2, 2010 Members Posted August 2, 2010 Went to Lower Taney today. Put in at Empire park, and started fishing the cove across from the ramp. Saw lots of bass, but no biters. Same in coves going up the lake. Finally caught 4 dinks off the point at Sunken Forest cove. Lost a good fish off of a log in that cove as well. Was nice to fish some shallow water, and flip some laydowns and veggies. Lack of practice, and I set the hook the wrong direction, and lost the log fish. Water temps were low 70-72 in Sunken forest and down at the dam. Colder above there. Probably should have went to Bull Creek, but just didn't make it up that far. Lots of bass in back of creeks in shallow water, but i guess they could see me too. No takers there. All the fish i caught came on 8" watermelon/red lake fork worms. Tried crankbaits, spinner baits, jig, lizard, & trick worms in a few colors.
Predator1 Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Nothing is ever achieved without effort. So good job. I was wondering...do the trout come this far down or is the water too warm for them on this end of Taneycoma?
Members Nolan_Whaley Posted August 3, 2010 Author Members Posted August 3, 2010 I'm sure there are some trout. If you go back and look at some older posts in this forum, I think you'll find trout throughout the lake. Right now, i'm in bass mode, and was just looking to avoid the zoo that is table rock lake this time of year, and hadn't been on lower taneycomo. So, it was a sunday afternoon adventure. I think the mid lake area.. bull creek to sunken forest would be my next target. Although, i've been wondering about some of the flats off the channel in that area as well. I didn't try any mid-depth cranks or carolina rigs in these areas, and that has been on my mind since i got back.
BrianS Posted August 3, 2010 Posted August 3, 2010 I am really wanting to go down there but I just cant take this heat lol HOOK 'EM HORNS
Gatorjet Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Every time I have gone to Tany this year I tell myself I should run down to the lower end and try some bass fishing. It's just that the trout fishing on the upper end has been so great I can't tear myself away! Real men go propless!
