Or can save it... 11 hours ago, dtrs5kprs said: Yep. Day 1 last week. Looked perfect for it. First flip with a Bugz in a place I'd buzzed to death kicked out a fish. We even built a dozen buzzbait or so for the trip. I'm not at all sure the fish around Kimberling are eating shad. Lots of craw bits showing and being spit up. Strong Ned, tube, FB jig bite. Also swing head, but they were short biting it badly this morning Seems like a good deal for a weightless dinger.

Caught two six pounders on back to back cast once, letting the bait go to the bottom under a mix of gar and white bass. magicwormman 1

I know the LM are a bit lazy and are opportunistic feeders. I've caught some dandies in past years under white bass. This year I haven't been able to find any whites feeding.
abkeenan Posted June 15, 2017 Posted June 15, 2017 Looks like I am not gonna be able to make it after all. Bummer. Wanted to get in on that flip bite.

I'm hoping to charm those snakes, put a tip in the jar and take a run through that cove. abkeenan, cheesemaster and magicwormman 3

That bite isn't going away anytime soon as long as there is 15 feet of water over flooded green trees. Some people just want it to fade. dtrs5kprs, Quillback, big c and 1 other 4

Look for the depth, location of bushes/trees, and type of trees to change though. Quillback, abkeenan, Champ188 and 1 other 4
