Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 29, 2013 Root Admin Posted March 29, 2013 I put in at River Run about 4 pm I think. I worked every crappie spot I knew. Nothing. White bass spots, nothing. Water temp between 49 and 52. I fished Barker flats, Willow Bank, above the Willow Bank and up where the channel swings from the east side of the lake to the north above Swan. I worked the shallow flats with a rebel- nothing. Not many boats out. Picked up a burger at Danna's, then headed to KDock. Water was slick when I pulled up. Was going to try the flats Buster caught whites on just hours before but I knew they wouldn't be there, esp in shallow water under those conditions. So I headed up lake and tried a couple of crappie spots, one bass. Went up to Snap - nothing. Fished the rock wall, nothing. Came back and finished in K cove because there's was a chop and balls of shad in 6-10 feet of water, nothing. Pretty evening to be out! Dogs were very disappointed in the catching.
Bill Butts Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Hey Phil that's a really thorough report, but unfortunate your luck was not better for your strategic efforts. Thanks for the great detail, despite the disappointment. Table Rock is scheduled to generate 24/7 on Friday, so might be a better day to be working that tailwater. Cloudy and rainy days are the best, in my experience. Bill Butts Springfield MO "So many fish, so little time"
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 29, 2013 Author Root Admin Posted March 29, 2013 Probably, Bill. But tomorrow is not my day to fish. Accountant, budget, birthday party (not mine) and may be a little trout fishing. Saturday I'm heading to the Spring River (OK) for some white bass.
vonreed Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I just got in from cleaning fish. I took my kayak and put in at Barker Hole. Got there about 6:30. I paddled down using worms trying to find some bluegill or yellow perch along the bluff to the end without catching any. I switched banks and trolled back with 2 rods out in hopes of getting the the island before dark so I could walleye fish on the gravel. I ended up catching 4 big white bass on the way back without even trying. I was using a silver flicker shad. I got to the island and it was covered in debris farther than I could cast. I should have stayed and caught the whites I guess.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 29, 2013 Author Root Admin Posted March 29, 2013 I threw a blue rebel on that bank for about 100 yards. May be I was in too close... or there too early. Oh well. Wish I would have ran into you. As for things I heard today... Beaver Creek- ppl were catching them below the Maiden Hole mid day. Had a friend watch from the bank. Yesterday, couple of guys were fishing the eagle nest area. One threw a a-rig and caught a bunch. The other a swimming minnow and didn't do well at all. Today, they couldn't get bit using either in the morning.
duckydoty Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Pretty much the same report from me in the Kings River today. Fished every where and everything only to catch a few of the large mouth bass fish and only one crappie. It came from some pole timber in 15 to 20 fow Taney fished good this evening especially once the moon came up. A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at..

Saturday I'm heading to the Spring River (OK) for some white bass. Hey Phil, I'm sure your buddy Paul is on them, but just thought I'd give you a heads up. We went down Yesterday and below the docks in Spring River about 200 yds, the big female Whites were stacked up. It was pretty much a fish on every cast. We were scrubbing the bottom in 18'. It didn't really seem to matter what you used as long as you had it in contact with the bottom.

If you can get out Saturday, let me know.
