Guys, I believe they moved out abit. I guided out of Diamond this morning and we gad an in front of bushes bite for about an hour and then nothing.

Moved out in the 20 to 25 ft. range dragging a fish dr. and we hit them pretty good on the long runnout flat points, between Diamond and Buck Creek.

Mostly Jaws, but a couple of LM. No K's or walleye,

Good Luck

The bass fishing got so slow we drug a nighcrawler harness in the same type of locations that you and I fish and nothing. Only good bite for me was a green/pumpkin fish Dr. on a rig.

Water temps were 73 and the lake was really quiet as far as fish activity for Bull. I know someone was catching them, but this is a CPA week down there and I would imagine that it will be pretty quite.

Bull like the Rock kind of changed up this week. That in front of the bushes topwater deal and all those shallow fish in that 15' depth range that we were catching last week, was not there, starting day before yesterday. I spoke to a couple of different guys yesterday and both said they had just been hammering them and completely lost the shallow bite on either a buzz bait or a spook.

Shallow Smallmouth also are on the move and seemed to have reconcentrated on the long gravel runnouts in the 20 plus foot range. Just where the Summer pattern starts.

I was seeing some fish a little higher in the water column and these may have been walleye that would have taken that slow trolled crank.

As of day before yesterday what you were doing on Bull and Table Rock is now not the deal so much. Spoke to Mike Webb this morning and he was catching fish on the Rock at 28 to 55 ft. on the bottom, all three black bass species. Mike was crawler fishing, with clients.

On both lakes right now it is currently taking pretty much no weight to cash a check as long as you have 5 keeps. Lots of the locals are saying in this weeks CPA on Bull they are expecting the two day derby to have a winner at 25 pounds which is pretty slim pickins.

Good Luck and look deeper after the early morning topwater rush.
