Fishin Hodge Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 There were approximately 20 boats that launched out of Diamond City New Years Day, getting the New Year started off right. The weather was cool, but quite bearable. The bite was tough for most with somewhere around 6 limits being weighed. 1st place was mid 16's and second was mid 15's. 3rd place dropped off to the 11 pound range, and lots of folks, including myself struggled. I was fortunate enough to have my cousin catch his best bass ever on Bull Shoals Lake in the boat with me, a 5.39 fatty. As usual, I netted him. That fish bit a stickbait in a main lake pocket towards the back of the cove. The predominant baits were, as would be expected, stickbaits and a-rigs. I know that points were a big deal for the stickbait in particular according to several of the folks I talked to. Also seemed to be a fish here and it is probably time to move type of deal for the most part; not a pull up here and load the boat on a single stop.
