Members Bassin' fool Posted August 20, 2016 Members Posted August 20, 2016 Got on the water around 6 and had no action at all for the first two hours. Not even a bite, fishing main lake points 12-18 feet with 10 inch ribbon tails, Ned rig, dt10 balsa crank, and spinner bait. Decided to tie on rooster tails and a spoon and try for some white bass. We noticed the first active fish boiling around 7:45, and ended up with 20 in the boat headed back to the ramp at 8:15. They were surfacing in 2-8 fow, straight west of chicken rock near the hazard buoy. Caught on white rooster tail and blue jigging spoon. Probably could have had a limit but with an hour drive home and another hour cleaning fish we decided to pack it in and have an excuse to go again tomorrow! tho1mas, "eyes"haveit, dan hufferd and 3 others 6

Members Bassin' fool Posted August 22, 2016 Author Members Posted August 22, 2016 Caught 34 tonight (kept 20) between 7:15pm and 8. Same spot as listed above on the same rooster tails. I should have enough filets in the freezer to get me through till the crappie spawn! Back to looking for largemouth and walleye hoping to get something photo worthy!
Members Mike Chamber Posted August 24, 2016 Members Posted August 24, 2016 Where is chicken rock at guys, I usually fish CC
Kramr Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 If you have a hotspots map (and who doesn't) it's near Mill Bluff I believe or somewhere in that area. At work so I can't go confirm that.
Dutch Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 Heading for CC area from Rouark Bluff, Chicken Rock is on the east side of the lake. It is where the lake takes a bend back to the west. There are several coves just past it then a long bluff and Birch's Branch.
stuartsx5 Posted August 26, 2016 Posted August 26, 2016 What size of rooster tail? I normally target them in late fall on LOZ but would like to expand my season. Love the white bass fight. Earl Stuart fishin is livin

I was using a 1/8 oz in a white shad color just casting into the schools as they would roll on the surface. And I've always said that for their size a white bass will fight harder than any fish in the lake.
