Members crawpytime1 Posted March 9, 2011 Members Posted March 9, 2011 I'm headed to the Rock this weekend and was wondering where to start. I'm thinking one of the rivers, just not sure on which and where. I have always fished Kimberling area and around the big and little cow. Have yet to fish the river arms. Thanks for any advice.
dwiebenga Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Read the posts...The guys and gals here will give you a start. Great people on here. We are more interested in seeing people being successful than leading the astray!
dtrs5kprs Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Think I would stay where you are familiar, find some windy clear water around 13HWY and soak a stickbait or run that grub thru trees on deep swings. If you are set on a river I would go to Viola on the Kings...crank ends of turns, little ways into the bigger cuts, flat areas near swings/transitions, jigs on transition places, sticks on ends & in pockets from there towards Ark if the color allows. Maybe some crappie in the swings if that is your pleasure. Sounds like a lot, but the water up there is small enough to make that a morning's work. Please give us a report either way. Like some have said, there are no fish in the Kings.

Crawpy, This dude just gave you a wealth of information without giving you a specific spot.Excellent job and great info from dtrs, you can't get anymore info than he just gave you....this is why I like this forum.
techo Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 He gave almost a wealth of info......not sure about the Kings statement! I agree about staying around KC. If you are familiar with it and wanting to catch fish.....lots of areas around Mill Creek Points and other points seen from that area to run a stickbait through. If you see a little Skeeter with a tall potbellied dude and a hot chick in the back of the boat......say howdy! Tim Carpenter

Don't forget to check the nothing looking swings in the creeks for the grub. Not the pretty ones, but the ugly deep ones, ones you can't just see by looking at the bank. Several of those from Mill back to the Cows.

dtrs5kprs Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Ha! That was a good one! Well, I was certain you could not possibly be the potbellied gentleman referenced.
