jtram Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Had a great shallow bute in the rain Thursday, tried to do it again today under 100% different conditions and drew my first 0 of the year, anywhere. They wouldn't bite shallow for me and Im too stubborn to change when I want to flip as bad as I did. I lost 4 fish at the boat, should have switched tactics but eh, I called it and came home for cold beer and kiddos.
Sore Thumbs Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Beaver was tough also. Fished a tournament and 9.41 won it. Crazy. A lot of good Anglers struggled today
Quillback Posted June 21, 2015 Posted June 21, 2015 Yo-yo effect with the water levels must have the fish messed up. Hammer time 1

A lot of good Anglers struggled today Took over 21 pounds (5-fish limit) to win the Jack Emmitt derby at Table Rock on Saturday. Winning weight was in the upper teens for Anglers in Action on Sunday. Pretty telling numbers it would seem. dtrs5kprs 1

Sore Thumbs Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Champ. I think the water being so high is putting shallow fish in un reachable areas. Big difference between 5ft high and 10 ft high. U can catch them shallow but it takes 500 casts to get one. It's exhausting.
Bill Babler Posted June 22, 2015 Posted June 22, 2015 Anglers in Action, only took 15 pounds 10 oz. I thought the bite was very good Sunday. We had 14 keepers and 30 fish all on a Dixie Jet 3/4 Chrome. Best 5 would have been right at that 15 pound mark. Bill had about the same amount catching some on a jig and then later switching to the spoon. Talked to 1/2 dozen people working bushes and there is just not a bite there. Most of our fish came with the boat in 45' off the long runnouts or setting over timber on the bluffends. Fish seem to be in the 15 to 26 ft. range and they will just hammer that spoon. When you catch one it will have multiples following it. Greg Wood said they caught just a ton of squeeker keeps in the derby and at times it looked like bee's swarming around the hooked fish, so many were following it. Bill said the bite was really off today. I guided trout. Said the water is really getting stained in the Kimberling area and he thinks that will hurt our good spoon bite. It is also dropping about 2 inches per hour, and that will put a further hold on the real shallow stuff. Might get real hard for a week or so.

Sore Thumbs Posted June 23, 2015 Posted June 23, 2015 The tournament at Beaver was single anglers not teams. That will change numbers a bit but the weekend before it took 13 and some change to win team tournament. Still down from TR.
