Big M area 10/14

My big fish of the day - Thought I had a good bass there for a minute.

Couldn't find any deep fish, they were gone from the spots they had been in.  Couldn't find the shad or the bass out off the banks.

Finally figured out there were some off the chunk rock either on the main channel or in some of the coves.  Caught about 15, but only a couple of large mouth.  Mostly 12-14" fish, had two keeps.  Jig bite with the 1/2 oz jig was the best and got a couple of crank bait fish.

Caught 4 mean mouth today, those boys just hammered the jig.

Saw very little top water activity, thought there would be some with the cloudy day, but just didn't see much going on. Maybe it picked up in the evening.

Looks like it is going to warm up, and get windy the next few days. 

WT - 71, 72.

Thanks for the report Quillback. My dad and I will be down at Table Rock Monday-Wednesday this week. Dad's not a bass guy, I was shocked when he asked if I wanted to go. Your steady reports along with the reports of others give me something to start with in hopes of making it a productive trip for him.

Hey Blue - Hope you and your dad get into them.  I know from some of your past reports on other boards that you are a good fisherman, so I bet you figure them out.

Quill, thanks for the report. Big C and I went out for a couple of hours yesterday morning and only caught 4 short fish. No topwater either. We thought it should have been better too. But it gave us a chance to talk about everything we don't know. It we a good time fishing with a fellow OAF member.

Big C is definitely fun to fish with. Look forward to making another trip with him soon.

Thanks Mike and James. Michelle and i got back out this morning and put into play what Mike was doing. The rock crawler was the ticket and she caught them on the ned.

I was wondering if you ever fished the cove in the boat  launching area.  Many years ago I lived at Cassville and fished Big M lots and caught many large bass in the cove back end.

Chris, I'm glad you started throwing the RC. Sounds like you and Michelle had a good time. Good luck the rest of the week.
