Members MJREDDY Posted October 22, 2016 Members Posted October 22, 2016 Howdy gents - I'm doing an overnighter with my brother this weekend on Jacks Fork. I would rather fish Eleven Point for trout, but my brother hasn't caught a decent smallmouth in years and is starting to act crazy. Thing is, while he was deployed in Iraq a few years ago, his brothers and I frequently sent him photos of big fat smallmouth, which, in hind sight, was just cruel and wrong. Anyway, it's time I make amends and put him on some fat Ozark bass. Long story short, I'm asking for approach suggestions for the Jacks Fork this time of year, and/or a straight up "don't do it, wait til spring" recommendation! (This brother does not like the trout, it's bass or bust with him.) Thanks in advance... Greasy B 1

Lower river so plenty of water. It's only three and a half miles so with the fading daylight you can take your time and fish it slowly and thoroughly. If you don't have your own canoe or yak call Anita at Two Rivers Canoe. She'll set ya up. If you wannna a longer overnighter start at Eminence.I've fished the whole river. Springtime the upper river is where it's at. Have a great trip with your brother! Gavin and Greasy B 2 HUMAN RELATIONS MANAGER @ OZARK FISHING EXPEDITIONS
