rps Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 I rarely fish in the winter, but today was so nice I decided to run up river from Holiday Island to see if the walleye had started to cluster. I ran most of the way to Houseman. At lake level 909 that meant I had to stick to channels remember where the trick stump was on the right side going up. I fished a partial keitech swing impact in ice on a 1/8 ounce horsehead jig. I had one white bass style smash attack bite but did not hook up. Many others were out, including the "we only fish for crappie in the Spring" crowd. Several boats were trolling the river channel and a couple boats were throwing jerk baits. I did not see a fish caught. Water temp was 46.

Bill Babler Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Buster told me today that he is catching spawned out walleye already. He knows what one looks like so I'm not doubting him. Sad the water on Bull yesterday at the end of the day was 47-48 degrees. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
rps Posted February 8, 2015 Author Posted February 8, 2015 If Buster says it, I believe it. Oddly, my local sources of information up here have not yet been on fish. I do not know if this is lack of trying or trying the wrong things. They are still waiting for the move.

Terrierman Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 About time for a cold snap to smack us with the reality stick. Hush your mouth. It will happen a few more times but who doesn't like April in February?

Bill Babler Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I know this is not a Bull Shoals thread, but kind of a piggy back. Also heard the white bass were really on the prod at River Run yesterday, and walleye from the Pot Hole to just above Beaver Creek. Kings River cannot be far behind. I think the influx of moving warmer water at 47.5 degree flowing over powersite dam makes a huge difference. Water is probably at least that temp down there as it has been that at Lilleys'. Don't know what the temp of the water is coming out of the White, but its got to be right in there also. Suspose to be pushing upper 50's to lower 60's here till a cool down on Thursday to the low 40's. May get interesting early http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
dtrs5kprs Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 That main lake can just stay cold until April
aarchdale@coresleep.com Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I have fished the beaver creek area real hard the last month and most of the whites have been little 6 inchers. Last Tuesday all of a sudden I caught 10 females full of eggs. They are def getting ready
