Good stuff. Love to keep the baits wet and the big motor cold.

Fishing this weeked was great. Today I only had a couple of hours to fish due to having to come back home. I got on the lake around 8am fished til 10am. As i was backing my boat out of the slip I saw shad just rippling the waters surface. I made the executive decision to turn the big motor off and jump on the deck. I told my fishing partner "I dont believe there is any need to leave here." We litterally fished and area about and acre in size. During that short time my best five went 17.4 lbs.  I fished the dam area and focused my time in the gut of a creek above submerged trees. 76fow with the fish I was targeting suspended 22fow to 42 fow. My bait of choice was a 5/8 oz underspin with a 3.8 kitech.  I made Long cast and allowed it to drop for 5 seconds on the shallower fish and 13 seconds on the deeper fish. Super super super slow reeling. When they hit it, they were crushing it. Other areas that seemed to be productive this weekend were main lake points leading into creek channels where deeper water was available. Again, same technique as above.  The guy in the red shirt is my brother in law's nephew. He has only been on a larger body of water like the rock twice. Both times were with me. Last year and this year same time of the year.  After the trip last year he was hooked, after today, he became obsessed.  Today he caught the biggest fish he has ever caught. It was fun to be a part of.

Nice Fish!! It looks to me that you had Mike McClelland for a guide. Good job Scott!

I am surprised there is no mention on the ARig.  Seems like that would also work.  Is anyone throwing that?

[Bill Babler]

Dude, that is one Super Report.  If folks on here need vindication about how to fish to suspended fish, you just threw the bacon in the skillet.  That my friends is how you catch excellent bags of Table Rock Bass this time of the year.

Thank you so much for reporting.  Tell us where that ramp is that you released those pigs and we will try and keep them exercised for ya.

Thanks and Good Luck

Bill they were all released to enjoy catching another day in the lower end of the lake. It was a great time. Many more were caught but those were the nicer ones.
