Past Few Weeks...

[Fish24/7]

  Have been pretty slow for me. I haven't used the boat since October. Walking mile after mile of Bull Shoals shoreline looking for bites, doctors orders, more exercise and fewer Doritos. Finding some lures but mostly junk. Anyway, I had one really good day where I caught 29 from the bank, all released. A mix of flatheads,walleye,whites,and small largemouths with a few keeper kentuckies too on dixie spoons 1/2 or 3/4.casting from shore into 15-25fow. That day the wind was blowing directly into where I was fishing and they were stacked in there.The next few times I tried it there, no wind,no fish   

Last week the crawdads were really on the go. Some were even out of the water walking the bank. Set a crawdad trap and only caught a couple.

not much else to report really, good luck!

No wonder pbJ and okeechobee craw are good options here!

[Fish24/7]

fished on the 28th, and this past Sunday morning. Wednesday fished with a buddy walking the bank for about 4 1/2 hours. We caught quite a few keeper kentuckies on grubs and trd worms. Saw 4 loons fishing in the area we were fishing. New Years day fished early morning for a few hours again walking a different bank. First fish of 2017 was a 14" spot. Caught several short lm bass and a couple more keeper spots , a 17" largemouth, and a 5lb drum. TRD worm and jerkbaits. 

good luck !!

happy new year!

The top picture is a long pincer crayfish. It is endemic to the upper White River. They are pretty cool and get big!!
