Shell Knob 11-14

Got out this morning about 8:30 after the fog lifted, got on a pretty good square bill bite for a few hours, caught quite a few but no keepers, throwing right up on windy banks, the bigger the Rock the better it seemed, then later in the day got on a reel good spinner bait bite with 2 very nice keepers, don't know how many but caught a bunch, windy banks with big chunk rock and also on steep banks with large rock, adjacent to deep water, all in all I had a great day on the water, see what happens tomorrow . Good luck to you all. All were released unharmed

very helpful report . . . sounds like a fun day . . . the colors of the fish against the background of blue skies, blue water and those classic Table Rock shorelines makes for a gorgeous pictorial . . . I love it when members accompany their reports and experiences with photos . . . makes a guy feel like he was along for the ride :-)

Went back out today and fishing was a bit tougher, did manage to catch about 6 on the w.p. No keepers, nothing on spinner bait , a couple on square bill & a few on shakey head, no keepers but a lot of fun, went in early to get some rest, hopefully will try again tomorrow. Met fellow O.A. Champ188 & his wife on the water today, I hope they had better luck than I did. Good Fishin to you all

What size plopper were you using?  Where were you throwing it. I tried it some the last few days and never had a bite on it

[96 CHAMP]

Been using the larger one, been throwing it in various location, bluff banks, chunk rock banks, in back of creeks, and off points. Good luck, might get rained out soon, they are calling for a bunch of rain

Nice catch...they where talking 4-5 inches of rain this week.
