Fishing Report From Eagle Rock To Mouth Of Kings River 3/2

[innova]

Fished today from 10:00am until 5:30pm. Water temp was 44 to 49 degrees. Barometric pressure 30.1 and steady. Partly Cloudy with a slight wind out of the North.

Fished from the Bridge at Eagle Rock to Viola Boat Ramp in the Kings. The white is clear. The Kings is stained with limbs floating down.

Fished for bass everywhere marked on the maps in the Maps section of Table Rock Forum (Thanks to the guys who marked them), and a few places I have found myself.

Caught 7 fish total, all short and fat, 6 Kentucky's 14 to 14 3/4 inches. 1 Crappie to small to measure

4 on a 1/4 jig head and zoom single tale smoked with silver flake grub.

1 on a PBJ 1/4 oz football jig with a zoom grn pumpkin trailer.

1 on a Wiggle Wart I painted Brown and Orange.

1 Crappie on a white 1/4 oz spoon

All fish were caught on Bluffs Ends where it turned to chunk rock, then pea gravel. The Kentucky's were in the basketball size rocks.

Boat was sitting in 30 to 60 fow casting towards the bank let it sink to bottom then slowly reel it in.

Not really a bite to speak of, the grub would just feel different/heavy and rod sweep and the fish was hooked up.

Had a great time just getting out.

Really nice report, innova. Thanks for posting.

I fished Holiday Island to Roaring River last Sunday and had similar results. I caught 12 bass and 1 Walleye. Only two of the bass where keepers. I cuaght them on Wiggle Wart (red with green back) and a shallow bill crankbait(green craw pattern). Caught the Walleye on a Megabass 110 in Table Rock color. Water was clearing up quite a bit from my previous trip the Monday before. I caught the majority of my fish from 6:55 to 8:10. It went dead until about 11:00 -12:30. Caught 4 within 10 minutes on one bank and cuaght my last one in Roaring river on channel swing transition bank. qQuit at about 12:45. Had fun.

Just no fish to write home about.

Pretty much guided the same area you all fished yesterday. Craig and I caught 28 bass, mixture of K's and LM. Only had 3 keeps at about 8 pounds. Main Lake White River above Shell Knob is very clear and 45 degree. We fished as far as Big M.

Mouth of Kings to Viola is tea colored looks like runoff water and main channel Kings River is 48 degree.

Mouth of Kings to Campbell Point, is gin clear. Visability on a white spoon in excess of 20 ft. Surface temps at 46 degree.

Started at 6:45 in The AM and fished till 1 PM. Our bite was fairly strong until about Noon, and then it really died as the sun and wind took over.

For the last month when ever I could fish, I have been on a very nice big fish pattern. Not alot of fish per day, maybe on a good day a dozen. Some days none. but usually would have a 5 pound plus in the mix if I cound find them. Totally opposite yesterday. We got bit just about everywhere we went, but no quality at all. Had not been catching many K's and now they are up. Lots of Milk-Fat K's in the 14 to slightly under 15 inch class. Super fun to catch. Seem to be transitioning from bluffends and transitions, near the cove mouths and back to the inside about 100 yrds. Pole timber if present helps to warm the water and there is usually a fish or two suspended in it.

Good Luck

Tea color is a great way to describe the King's
