Fishing Report 1/7/12

Here is a example this was just posted this morning on the BBC...had a terrific day today on Norfork. Fish are fairly shallow (at least today) and very healthy after a couple three years of high water in the spring. Caught 22 Keepers today (15" plus) and my sack of five topped the scales 16.20 lbs. No big fish , but really solid keepers. Caught fish on A*&^$#@-rig................Water temps are 47 to 51 degree's and color in main lake; Creek arms are little more stained, but still very fishable. Just wanted to pass this along so that if some of you guys are considering going, don't hold back; Fishing is good right now

You know Donnie Moore? He fishes tournaments on norfork all the time.

I white bass fish on norfork, and catfish some, but I like going out on the rivers alot more, its way cheaper to bass fish rivers.

I rigged the "Bama" or "A-rig" I used offset worm hooks & twister tail grubs rigged Texas style. Mainly because it is lighter than using the jigs and seems to have more action. I have tried the small & larger version of the "Bama Rig" with 3"-4" grubs and it all seems to work, I like the 4"ers on 3/0 hooks but I'm a big bait guy. After reading all the conterversly on the Missouri # of hooks rule I have optied for replacing 2 of the hooks with #4 colorado spinner blades when fishing Missouri water.

Does anyone know the limit of hooks Arkansas allows on the A Rig, I know Missouri is limited to 3.
