Bull Shoals Bass Fishing Report 1-28-13

[Bill Babler]

Beck put in at Tucker 2 days ago and fished just around the area. Had a really good day with some very nice bass. Best 5 at 23 pounds, but lots of the same kind of fish, in that 4 pound range.

He reported they had several walleye, but no keepers. Caught the walleye in the same general places we are catching them up stream, off the channel swings.

Most all the bass came on bluffends and transitions on steeper banks. He fished a spro Pro-blue stick bait for most of the bass, but did report a very good Arig bite later in the day on the same stuff.

I think this was going to be a walleye trip, but the bass were just to hard to get away from. Said they just bit great all day and it was hard to get on the walleye stuff and fish slow, when the bass were just hammering the stickbait.

You can tell a walleye bite right now immediatly. Your stickbait just gets heavy when you go to twitch it. It is just super soft. The bass, crappie and yellow perch will always give you the stickbait thump or as he said the bass just tried to take it.

Pretty nice report from the lower upper lake region.

I should have a report on my own if the weather allows by first of next week.

Good LUck
