Is the water still chocolate milk everywhere?? Thanks for any info. Thanks! "Some go to church and think about fishing, others go fishing and think about God."
Fish24/7 Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 hope you found a spot to launch and the fishing was excellent!
mrgungho Posted May 16, 2017 Author Posted May 16, 2017 En route now.. Just gonna drive down two hours and see if there's any place to launch I guess "Some go to church and think about fishing, others go fishing and think about God."
Ham Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Bull Shoals Boat Dock and Brown Beach on lower lake. Should be the high water ramp at Diamond City too. Fish24/7 and mrgungho 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Forsythian Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Buck Creek is open for business. Decent launch at the campground. 3 or 4 foot visibility on Sunday. mrgungho and Fish24/7 2 Cenosillicaphobiac
mrgungho Posted May 18, 2017 Author Posted May 18, 2017 Thanks all.. I ended up putting in at the BS darn campground both days. Luckily there wasn't much traffic at all so no problem parking. Fished Jimmie and Howard and caught fish day and night. Most fish Tuesday were on 3/8oz purple Shad war eagle. Caught a couple nice fish that night on black and blue single spin .. Water was pretty darn lo clear in those areas. Little to no debris but still be careful. Put in Wed right at noon, there was a slight hint more color and even some stain where wind was wreaking havoc on the shorelines. Caught some very nice keeper LM sitting in 25-30 fow throwing the purple Shad as well as an underspin with 3.8 Electric Shad on it. SLOOOOW rolling both as much as the brush allowed. Lost 3 super nice LM on the same baits. They all jumped and shook off. Fish are definitely much more aggressive fighters in these water Temps. Around 3pm that bite died and I started picking up a couple fish on a green pumpkin /red Jig sitting in the same water, casting the same places. For a minute there on Wednesday I thought it was going to be one of those days of a lifetime but it fizzled out fast. Fished about 17-18 hours total in a 24 hour period so headed back home Wed night worn out! Really like the area and will definitely be fishing it more. Amazing how clear it was down there Vs. much of the lake. Quillback, Ham, Fish24/7 and 1 other 4 "Some go to church and think about fishing, others go fishing and think about God."
