Col Ron Bull Shoals Fishing Report August 29

[Phil Lilley]

We got on the water a little late, about 10am, this morning. Took out from Lead Hill and fished the flats, East Sugarloaf, and an area by Pt. 26 and down to Pt. 25. Had a two limits by 2:15pm. 25 walleyes were caught, with 8 nice fish, only one under 20 inches. Copper and brass spinners with the Northland fish graphics worked early, but Slow Death was the best from Noon on. When the wind picked up and could not slow the boat down, we ducked into Sugarloaf and caught two there. Speed was a key factor, you had to be under 1.0 mph. Next time out, I will have my drift sock in the boat to slow us down in the wind. Great day on the water. The late summer bite is holding on.
