Not To Bad

[Duck]

Same report as I posted on the 7th but with not as many fish. Fished same areas and ended up with 3 on the spinnerbait, 10 on drop shots and 2 on jigs. All blacks with 2 keeper size. Ran into Bill B. about 11 and he said he and his client were having a good day, thanks for the jig tip Bill wish we had talked to you earlier. Boy what a nice looking rig he has, wonder if he would want to swap for my Tracker? The navy started showing up at about 10 and continued to multiply, we were off by noon. Good fishin, Duck.

Duck, we really had a fine day. Couple of deals. started out with the DD22 and the Storm Wildeye Swimmer. I just am not fooling with these baby chasing fish. 90% of them are not worth a hoot, and if you get started right, there are some bigger fish to be caught early.

Tried to keep the boat in close to 40 throwing up on either the bluffends or long runnouts with the cranker and the swimmer. Multiple fish on almost all locations. I believe most of our fish came in that 18 to 25 ft. range. I know your dropshot fish were deeper. We never messed with up and down cause we really caught fish non-stop all day to just before the Armada Hit.

Big Ed that I had with me is a very good hand. He can catch them and loves to Bass fish. He is a fine client and good friend.

Jig and Hulleo, were the deal for us. Most of our keeps came on those. That is of course after the Swimmer and Cranker bite died.

Most all of our fish were LM, and that is what you would expect the way we were fishing.

Traffic from Shell Knob to Big M, after 10 AM was very heavy and we got "Clobbered."

Have you all see a boat called an "XSTAR?" Good golly and Typhone Sally, they throw a complete MONSTER WAKE.

Good Luck

These boats are from LOZ because it has got bad there with the big boats so they are moving to Tablerock. This lake used be a wonderful lake to fish anytime during the year/day and/or night but not anymore. I quit going to LOZ because of the big boats and inconsiderate boat operation that has also moved to Tablerock. What ever happened to the rule/law that you are not to operate full throttle less than 100 ft of another boat?? Also aren't you supposable responsible for your wake that is produce from your boat?? I wish for the good old days.....

Would rather have a guy run past me wide open than slow to a plow. Never have a problem with complete on top operation. Yes they have these boats at LOZ, but believe you me Shell Knob has had big boats for years. At one time Sports Boats was one of the biggest dealers of Cobalts in the nation. Now the Mastercraft dealer at Shell Knob is for sure up there.

The boats I'm speaking of are built to throw a wake. With a passenger capasity of 18 people 25' in length, a 100 gallon fuel tank and and a water ballast tank of over 1000 pounds they throw a 6 ft. plus wake for wake boarding and wake surfing. Yes you heard me right. you can surf behind these boats, on the huge wakes. With a price tag depending on the goodies you want at over 1hundred thousand dollars, these are quite a toy. Throw in that lake home, dock and the Escalade to pull it with and that is a pretty tidy sum.

Saw over a dozen of them and the other culprits from Viney to Twin Rivers on Sunday. Completely Unreal the ammount of money people have.

I may have to turn into a river, bank and cove fisherman and leave my beloved deep water. The Battleships have taken it over.
