Ill be down next week outta kimberling and will have a real time detailed report of the specifics.  Will be trolling and spooning for walleye, as well as probing deep haunts for bass and bluegill.

IDK where the thermocline is setting up, but this time of year ill be looking for large schools of suspended spotted bass around the thermocline depths.  Mostly around main lake points, deep docks, and bridge pilings.....look at a contour map of point 7...go fish point 7...then go find other areas on the map that look like that point.  Long gently sloping gravel on 1 side and plummeting into the abyss on the other side.  Go try it!! It works!!

I have watch guys fishing planer boards down on the bend of point 17 @ Baxter, that area has all the specifics you are talking about, I'm thinking from the point around towards Big Creek. I Have caught a lot of respectable fish in that are over the years just not any Walleye but know by seeing and talking to locals fishing down there. The only problem fishing that area this time of year is the boat traffic, you better buckle yourself in, people in those big boats will come flying way to close for comfort.

Be sure and PM me or Donna to apply for a permit to fish the Big Creek area. You're getting into a restricted area down that way.

Jeez. You and Babler and your lower lake permits. Reminds me of Techo (I miss him) and his Aunts Creek routine, "Nothing to see here. Move along."

Between the permits & all the tackle he buys up no wonder none of us can catch anything!!

A guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do. How do you think I finance all of my tackle?

I figured it was by re selling stolen crawdad traps.
