First Time On The Rock

[Arkansas Jay]

U of Arkansas was here this weekend for an inner school tournament, found this girl on the first day fishing!

Very nice! What did she weigh? What'd you get her on?

[Arkansas Jay]

Our scale had dead batteries , but i would say in the 7-8lb range with how thick she was. . .Every fish we caught had a belly on them. . . They are biting anything that mimics baitfish the best for us, but the wind was also blowing 15-20 too so go figure.

Wow....don't get much bigger than that on Table Rock. AWESOME! Weight? Bait? Area of the Lake?

Looks as if he is more than 1/2 way or to the back of a pocket or finger in a creek.

what did everyone weigh in?

[Arkansas Jay]

11lbs on sunday with that nasty storm/cold front that rolled thru won it. . . If it were saturday, we would have been around 16-17lbs . .

If I were to give a fishing report for the lake. . . Fish main lake points and bluffs with mid size rocks on them . . . Spinnerbaits, A-rigs, jerk baits, wigglewarts and bomber fat free shads were what they were biting (caught some thick spots 2-3lbs). Smallies are on the steep banks inside main creeks with timber and rock throwing 10-15ft cranks thru them. . .We caught the blacks including the one in the picture in the backs of certain main lake creeks where the creek began turning into flats. . . They are on wood back there where the water is not so clear. . .

Got to say, very kind of you to give out that info. Beautiful fish.

I so enjoy intelligent reports with real, useable information. Thank you.

Thanks for the nice comments guys, that pattern should hold up til the shad push deeper into the creeks.

I am headed to Grand Lake for the first time in 3 weeks for another school tournament, maybe someone could pm me any info to get started with out there?

Also if your a razorback fan, check the for sale listings, we have some really cool arkansas cotton cordell super spots that support our tournament fishing if anyone is interested, feel free to pm me
