Fishing Report

[LoweSTX175]

Brother Dave...Sounds like you know your stuff. I'll be looking for your reports.

LoweSTX175...I have been wanting to try the 9s and looks like I'll be picking some up friday. Thanks for the info.

SmithvilleSteve...It was sunny skies last Saturday when we went and didn't bother the small eyes but didn't catch a keeper eye one. On the smalljawz I would concentrate from the mouth of the Little Sac Arm from Edge Island down to Price Branch on the north side. Just my input but I have had good sucess there on the smalls. Good luck Hope you slay'em!

Only issue with the 9s is they are limited on the color at Bass Pro and Cabelas in my case in KC. Chartreuse Pearl and Pearl White are easy to find and seem to work very well. I'm probably going to order some directly from Berkley to get "Uncle Rico" or a few with some heavier blue to them. I had a walleye runner that was blue that the walleye seemed to like earlier this month. The thing about the 9s I liked this spring was the bigger crappie were hitting them. My fishing buddies were using 7s and getting the smaller slabs. The 9s seemed to be liked by the 13-14" slabs.

Thank you Slab Slinger. Yes, i have fished those bluff ends in that area and the big chunk rocks that

fallen off the bluffs. Picked up a few small smallies. There is also some good points in that area. Deep

water close by. Appreciate your input my friend.

I haven't been to the lake in almost a month. Has the level come down much? Has anyone heard how the cat bite is?

Thanks!

Yes it has and they are probably going to keep pulling at least until it reaches 867.00. On July 22 the level was 873.40 at 10:30 this morning it was 870.56. Dropping at about 4" a day at the current rate.
