Trip To Bull Shoals Week Of Oct 15

[Kramr]

Hi,

Wife and I are coming from St. Louis and will be there the whole week mostly fishing for walleye, white bass, black bass, pretty much in that order. We love fishing this time of year because it's nice and cool and the lake is quiet, also the fishing is usually good. Bull Shoals is a big lake and I don't want to burn a lot of fuel if we can avoid it. Wondering what part of the lake should we be concentrating on so we know where to stay? Of course any tips on what to use and where would always be welcome.

Thanks in advance for any and all comments.

Hi, We would love to have you come to the Diamond City section of the lake. Diamond City puts you in the central part of the lake. Diamond City is located between West Sugarloaf and East Sugarloaf creeks. If you follow bass fishing....West Sugarloaf produced the fish for Brandon Paluniak's Elite Series win this year. The Walleye fishing and Bass fishing should be getting really good by October 15th. Here's a link for information on our part of the lake. http://thelakeshoredistricts.com/ Looking forward to seeing you.

Thanks for the reply DCF and the link. Was hoping someone can help me decide which part of the lake offers the best opportunity to catch a limit of walleye.

The Diamond City area of the lake offers several large flats and deep bluffs and points that are excellent for Walleye. We have had several good reports in the last few days. Oct. 15th is still a ways away...so it's hard to predict where the Walleye will be then.....but likely will be on the flats or along the bluffs and points. If you have a lake map...good catches have been reported from Elbow Creek to Shoals Creek and Diamond City is located between the two creeks along with East and West Sugarloaf. The old Walleye breeding pond is located in East Sugarloaf....and there are usually Walleye catches reported from East Sugarloaf. Also check Mike Worley's site...he's is an excellent Walleye guide his web site is http://bullshoalsfishing.com

By the way, my wife is from St. Louis and wants to know what high school you attended.
