Fun With Dad.

[Teddy]

Coming down in 3 weeks with my dad. We will bass fish until he gets tired each day. Hopefully it cools some. We are staying in KC. Thanks for any advice!

Keep watching what is going on. It is fixin to turn around depending on your lake section, it could be good. Last couple of days I have had really good trips.

Every time I'm out I have to relocate these fish. When you find them it's on though! I'm catching almost all of my fish on 5/8 oz FB jigs, 3/4 if the wind picks up. I am finding the biggest concentrations on seemingly (no nothing banks). The fish are holding on small rock transitions or stumps in 15-26ft of water. It may take several casts to get the school fired up but when you do it's lights out. A lot of fish are up off the bottoms and hit the football jig on the initial fall. They are coughing up 2-3inch thread fin shad, I have caught a couple really nice fish that have had bigger thread fin shad in their throats. I have thrown a variety of shad imitators, swarming hornet/fluke, scrounger jig, spoon ect and I don't know why but I CANNOT get them to eat it. It is maddening because they are munching shad. Sometimes they come up just a few at a time and chase shad, I have seen some really good ones coming up but cannot get them to eat top water or any other shad imitators. Maybe I am just missing that bite. They should eat a spoon but won't for me. However they kill that football jig so oh well. I fished shallow some the other day and caught fish in 10ft of water or less around wood cover but they were skiiiiiiiiiiiiiny fish. Healthy fish have been out deep. Best of luck, I hope you really catch them. I have done a lot more ideling and looking with my electronics when fishing but it pays off when you find them.

Here's a thread on it, you'll have to read it and filter out some of the comments, but there's some pics showing the Ned rig and comments on how to fish it.

At it's heart it's nothing more than a "Do nothing" type retrieve with very light and small lures. Since Table Rock has so much timber it's hard to use jgheads without a weedguard, so I use 1/16 or 1/8 weedless head or rig a weedless shaky head instead of an exposed hook point.

Another article to read is Ned's coverage of Shin Fukae's win on the FLW tour at Beaver Lake - mostly due to using a slowly swam Yamamoto shad-shaped worm, and inspiring Ned to further refine fishing like that: http://archives.in-fisherman.com/content/meet-shinichi-fukae-wizard-finesse

Thanks for the links. What colors do you guys typically use on Table Rock.

Thanks,

I use green pumpkin, except for when I change to green pumpkin. You could also try green pumpkin.

Champ, I am guessing that green pumpkin is the color???? THANKS!!!!!
