Well this trip had some highs and lows. Started at 8 am caught a few crappie on our first stop. I just repowered my boat so i took off and my hat and sunglasses blew off, then my gloves blew out, not used to the new motor, The old 60 4 stroke was a dog compared to a 75 opti. Then of course my batteries went dead on my remote for the troller. So i ran to Theodosha and got batteries. Got back out and boated a few more crappe all between 11-13 inches.  Gave our brush a break and tried trolling flicker shads. Caught a couple bass and another nice crappie. Water temp 57. Then my New last year trolling batteries went dead. so we were pretty much done. Went by oriellys and they tested my batteries and they both were dead but good. Im thinking my onboard charger isnt working right

Went to table rock last week, waste of time. Blows my mind that people write off Bull. 10X the fishery as the Rock.    I love it.

I love Bull Shoals. I'm not sure it works to our long term advantage to keep telling more ppl their favorite lake sucks and that they should fish our favorite lake. I can't help myself either, but I kick myself later sometimes.

Im not to worried about it. Table Rock is full of power poles and glittery boats, All you gotta do is tell them the Zebra muscles will stick to there boat.That will scare them away.

I'm going to fish Bull one of these days, I'd fish it but it's a bit of a haul from here.  I'm just going to have to find someplace to stay and do a multi-day trip.

Its a lot different than the rock. Not a ton of visible cover, I dont Bass fish it a whole lot but I dive a lot around Diamond City which has a few decent little resorts that are a good price.  Ive seen so many monster bass in there it would make you sick. My brother made the comment yesterday after we caught a few 12 inch crappie " These things must be born keeper"
