Daveinozark Posted August 13, 2011 Posted August 13, 2011 I'm thinking of hitting the Riverside Inn area. Any action there lately? I haven't been on the Finley, been wasting my time on Lake Springfield with no luck what lures should I go with?

I haven't been on the Finley, been wasting my time on Lake Springfield with no luck what lures should I go with? I've been over there a few times in the past couple of weeks - mostly catching smaller Bass on finesse jigs and soft plastics. Lot's of Rock Bass on the jig, too.

I've been skunked my last 3 outings. Twice at lake springfield and now yesterday on Finley. I think part of my problem is refusing to slow down with plastics. I threw worms and jigs yesterday though with a few bites and no hookups, they were probably too little. I noticed a lot of little perch in that area now. I hit the little pond and could see some smallmouths there suspended and totally ignoring plastics and small cranks as they passed in front of them. oh well, it's still worth getting out of the house for a bit
OzarkFishman Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 I haven't been able to piece together any long outings, but I have had a lot of success with my fly rod the past few weeks. Mainly panfish and ozark bass. Throw small plastics or fly fish and you will slay the small bass and panfish (and occasionally get a big surprise). Good Luck, OzarkFishman
