Members Ken Drish Posted August 17, 2015 Members Posted August 17, 2015 We are so privileged and blessed to live on such an incredible lake. Years ago, when my Dad and I took two trips from Chicago to Table Rock, I never thought I'd have a place there. I wish he were still alive to see it. Nothing quite like the bluff walls, soaring hills, wildlife, and oh... the incredible fishing. Started my weekend on Thursday night and threw a Snag Proof Frog around the mouth of Butler Creek. Within an hour I had 4 largemouth. All coming from the outside edge of the bushes. See pics attached. Once I got about half way back into the creek, the bite died. It was great to load up on so many keeper in a short time. Smallest was 2.5 - largest, looked like about a 4. Friday AM had me chasing some schoolers... didn't do so well, but got about 6 spots. Friday night, went back to the same frog pattern and got only one. Just goes to show things change quickly. Saturday I met a buddy and went up by Big M. Tough day... managed to get about 4, all coming on a jig. Today was interesting. Went out and tried my topwater pattern and caught only a few. Nothing on the jig either. Decided to practice my jerk bait fishing, only not on bass... but trout. Went way up into the White by the old bridge. Within a couple hours I had about 8 - two Brownies and 6 Rainbows. What a blast! So bummed, I hooked a really nice Brown, maybe 4-5lbs and he came off at the boat. What a weekend! rps, 5bites, merc1997 Bo and 2 others 5
merc1997 Bo Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 nothing like catching trout and bass on the same lake. night fishing under lights on bull shoals this time of the year can produce some really nice trout also. great stuff. bo
cheesemaster Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 That's great. I never fish that end of the lake but it looks like fun. Good report.
