Mike Worley Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 The bite on Bull Shoals continues to be good. The Walleyes can be found on the main lake points as well as the creek channels and larger deep coves. Most are being caught on crawler harnesses with a whole crawler or a half crawler on a plain slow death hook or slow death spinner rig. The most productive zone seems to be 35'-50'. Walleyes & spotted Bass are still being caught trolling deep diving crank baits. Jigging spoons are still working with 1 once in white or silver working best on deeper brush piles. Largemouth bass are bitting in the back of the creek arms in 20'-30' and are hitting top water at first daylight.................Mike Worley (www.bullshoalsfishing.com)

Appreciate catching the fish but really appreciate the tips... still catching fish! Great guide and very willing to keep you on the fish.
Mike Worley Posted August 11, 2010 Author Posted August 11, 2010 Husky28 Thanks for the post. I hope the walleyes filled up your livewell. I will be working on posting pictures and upgrading my website in the next couple of days and will send you some photos.
Mike Worley Posted August 11, 2010 Author Posted August 11, 2010 mike, just found your site on here, but what time of day are these reports, for instance the walleye? fireman The walleyes are catchable pretty much all day. The middle of the day when the sun is directly over head is the slowest period. But if you move around and try some different techniques during the day you can put fish in the boat. If the fish quit biting on your nightcrawler rig on a main lake point, you may want to try a spoon on a deep brush pile or bluff end or troll crank baits over a deep creek channel. The walleyes are schooling up and moving into deeper water this time of year. Use your electronics to find the schools of fish and get something down there with'em they are very aggressive this year and they will bite.
Members fireman Posted August 11, 2010 Members Posted August 11, 2010 nice report and thanks for the tips. would love to have you as a guide, but i had a stroke 4 months ago and even though holding a pole would be a challenge, my funds are thin. so i will sit here and enjoy your reports. keep them coming. btw... in the picture of a recent trip, you had taken the picture with a nice catch, but why in the world is there a lm bass in there? did they seriously want a bass to eat? just my opinion fireman

Bass (to me) are just as sacred as are walleye to a walleye man... Secondly, I've eaten very few bass, but will on occaision when I'm on vacation and have a number of people wanting to eat fish (10 in this case). So I have no problem eating a LM bass on the rare occaision... sorry if that offends you.
Members fireman Posted August 12, 2010 Members Posted August 12, 2010 pls dont take this as an argumentive conversation. i was just raised/taught that bass lm/sm bass we return. takes long time to grow that big plus with all these summer tourny on bass they kill enough then. just my 2 cents but not angry just conversation. fireman
