June 17 Report

[Phil Lilley]

Boated down to the bluff bank on the east side 2 miles below Branson yesterday afternoon. Threw 1/8th ounce jigs against the bank. Wind made it tough - no hookups.

Boated on down to Bull Creek and worked the docks on the right side. Rumor had it that crappie was good in the summer around those docks. Caught one.

Ended up trolling a #3 flicker shad up the channel side and caught 7 nice white bass. I think you could catch 'em better in the evening instead of mid day.

Stopped at the gold mine on the way back and caught some rainbows on sculpin jigs- some real nice ones too.

They were running 4 units at the time. Water temp 46 at my place, 48 at the Landing, 50 at the Gold mine and 52 at Rockaway Beach. 81 in Bull Creek.

Phil - How deep were the whites?

About 10ish years ago I was in a club that had a tournament on lower Taney. I'd love to go back there sometime.

5bites i love to bass fish below bull creek maybe we can try it sometime. ive just about got the ole champion i bought the other day ready to go!!!

[5bites]

Cool deal! It's a neat place for sure. I assume it still has grass?

[Sac River Jim]

i'd think so but its been several years since ive been down on that part of the lake. i used to flip the docks with half a french fry so i'm wanting to try out the little varmit aka little rig down there.
