vacation Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I have been fishing mainly from 5pm -dusk...sticking with main lake points and steep banks with deep water nearby. This fish came off a spook, fish was in trees below. As Phil Lilley remembers earlier this year while we were in Lake Amistad, a fish will travel 40-100ft up for a spook in clear water...no matter what time of day. Keep throwing fellas, its getting time. Didnt have a scale, but the fish was over 6lbs I'm guessing.
Tfsh4bass Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 Fished yesterday from 7am to 3pm and it was one of those days that remind me that I am blessed to fish a lake like Table Rock. Not many places in the country can you go and catch the numbers of quality bass I did yesterday especially all 3 species in the same day. As you might expect with the wind and cloud cover they were biting and I only had one rod on deck all day rigged with a blade. I caught fish all day and couldn't tell you how many I caught or how many keepers I caught but it was a lot of both. Caught just about everything in the back 3rd of wind blown pockets, bays or creeks and the type of bank didn't really matter much...they were just biting. I took a few pics with cell phone early in the morning but they suck :-)

Spinnaker Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Nice fish fellas. I am coming down Sunday through Friday and hope the bite is still working.
Tfsh4bass Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 tfish, what depth were they and what part of the rock were you on if you dont mind. Sorry I should have added that...I fished the Indian Point area and everything I caught was back 3rd with the boat in 8 feet of water or less. I was burning one of my 3/4oz blades with a 4/4 combo and I honestly hammered them...had double digit keepers within the first couple of hours

Wasn't planning on starting with a spinnerbait but probably will tie one on now. Were there baitfish on the surface where you were fishing? Were they on laydowns/cover or just cruising the bank? Thanks!

Wasn't planning on starting with a spinnerbait but probably will tie one on now. Were there baitfish on the surface where you were fishing? Were they on laydowns/cover or just cruising the bank? Thanks! Didn't see much baitfish activity but is was very cloudy with pretty good wind blowing so I normally don't in those conditions. All I did was fish where the wind was blowing and didn't really target any specific cover...caught fish on pea gravel, mix rock and ledges. The back 3rd seemed more important than the type of bank BUT I stress they were REALLY biting on Tuesday. It isn't everyday I go down there and pop 50+ on a blade...usually I throw it this time of year and get 8-12 bites all day with most of them being decent ones. With that said they will bite tomorrow and I might be down there with ya :-)
vacation Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 FYI..I'll be fishing the Dam area later this afternoon. I'll have a blade tied on, a rattletrap, a redfine and a spook. I am going to start on points and work my way back in coves with deep water close by...if I find wind, that where I'll start. Blue skies are not going to help much, but thats what I am going to throw...
Spinnaker Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Looks like I will need a forth rod ready to use. One with a football jig; a second with a wiggle wart or other crank bait; a third with a spook or other top water; and finally one with a spinner bait. Can't wait to get down there.
Tfsh4bass Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 I will be around the Indian Point area again on Fri from 7am until around 2-3...white with black/red stripes Triton TR 186 DC with 3 rods on deck
