what are the bass biting on this weekend @ bull shoals?4/9-4/10

[jmyers7276]

Going to be fishing bull for only the second time and looking for some advice on what to catch them on? And what to look for.

Man, you tell me. I'm in the middle of a 4 say work stretch. BSL's funny residents are safe from me.

Early in the week I was catching bass on crankbaits on the last bluff type bank in the creeks. Hard telling now, tis the season when the bass are up and moving. Best bet is to move around till you find them, they will be biting somewhere- 

If I was fishing today, I would start with a craw pattern crank, a spinnerbait, a topwater, a grub or Ned, and a C-rig. Run into the back 1/3 of a creek, find a bluff, and then run points and transistion banks, and good looking pea gravel spawning flats, all the way back with the above baits til I ran into fish or ran out of water. With the cold fronts it may be tough, but there are good fish to be caught. 

Make sure and post a report on the Bull Shoals forum of how you did for me and Ham and the others who are tied up with work and can't go!

Night fished 4-8-16 Friday, 10pm--1am swan ck, 2lb average large mouth, on wee wart & Texas rigged black craw. Took 3 hours to get a limit and caught no short fish or big fish and lost several on wee wart.

you did not happen to mention what area of the lake you are fishing.  that alone can make a big difference in what you need to be doing.

Megabass Vision 110. Go get a few in various colors. Must be by Megabass brand. They have the best.

Luck-E-Strike RC STX is a dead ringer copy of the Megabass Vision 110 at one-third of the price. I own quite a few of both.

I finally figured out how to catch a fish on a wart so maybe this will be the year I catch a fish on an RC STX. I own a dozen or more of them and I honestly never remember catching a fish on the bigger ones. I have caught a few on the Jr STX. 

I have a lot more confidence in the McStick or a MegaBass or a LC Pointer.

Wart  Craw pattern is the ticket right now. 62 or 63 on cloudy days. The 209 red craw is tough to beat when the sun is out.  Or perch don't know the #. Custom paints peanut butter/ jelly been working too. Fish are on the move with these fronts. Transition banks working  real well. From Pontiac / Spring Creek area.  Good solid keeps.   Good Luck

Shhhhh. Stop telling all the good stuff.
