Who Is Fishing The Wrapped Walmart Boat

They should be doing that up here at LOZ now but they are not. I been getting really full of this lake this year. Last year i caught 16 bass over 5 at this point. This year I only got 6 and it would have been 4 if i had not gotten 2 inside a hour a week or so back. Then it shut down again.

You know we do everything we can and for the most part there are some wonderful guides on Table Rock Lake, but yesterday it was a complete disaster. I'm more than sorry I let my feelings show. I just cannot accept not putting my clients on fish. Folks work hard for their money and when I don't show them fish on Table Rock I feel like I have been kicked in the gut. " And Lower."

Thanks Bill

That's when it pays to have a diverse sense of humor As long as everyone is laughing and having a good time out on the lake most folks will be back for another shot at'em during a time when the bite is better.

Your right as rain Wrench. I had good boys that know fishing. I just butted my head into a brick wall as soon as I got home.

I am so blessed and let me tell you I know it. This lake since that huge rain and with the heat has just gotten to be a very hard placed to figure and fish. Just look at the PAA stuff. It is just very hard to catch them. Usually right now we are culling keepers. Not so much now, we are begging not for keepers, but for bites.

It is good to see the boys from the area figuring it out. I'm pulling for Brian Snowden. He's one of the good guys.

Sounds like this place don't it wrench.

Well Bill things can get out if hand in those trips. If you want go read that story I posted called " What will St Peter say to me" then you might feel better. As strange as it sounds it really happened.

I felt way better today after I figured it out yesterday. There is a pretty hard building thermocline right now at 18' to 20' I'm only going to say, you had better be fishing that depth weather on the bottom or suspended. It was just unreal today. My trip started at 6:30 out of Shell Knob and by 9:30 the boys were saying No Mas. It was getting hot and we had just flat hammered them. Fished 2 locations all morning big flats with a jig and a Yamamoto dropshot worm. Guy in the middle dangled and the guy on the back drug a jig. It was silly. Not a load of Keeps, only about a dozen, but just bite after bite and really no dinks at all. If we had been in a derby we would have had to measured a load of them.

Water is cloudy enough you can dropshot up the river in the 18 to 20 ft. range and usually you cannot. I'm dragging that Quick 5 3/8th. FB with a yamamoto gp twin tail. I also used their GP/pepper hula grub today on the PigSticker 3/8th. and it worked just as good. If you missed them they kept at it, till they got it or pulled it down or tore it up.

Beck reported similar results out of Baxter. He also had a great day with lots of fish. Surface temps at the knob were 85 right on.

Thanks for that update Bill. May have to drag the boat over there this week.
