jdavis Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Myself and a buddy put in at Hootentown this morning at 6am. The water was still up and murky. We floated 5 1/2 hrs to the unofficial access below McCall bridge. We caught between a dozen and fifteen smallies together. Most of them were caught on grubs in deep slower moving water. We did land a couple on different crank baits. Most of the fish were around 14". This one my buddy caught was 17".
Terry Beeson Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Nice Smallie!... Sounds like a good mornin'... TIGHT LINES, YA'LL "There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process." - Paul O’Neil
Wayne SW/MO Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Thats a dandy, we're going to try it this next week, if its not in the fields. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman.
RSBreth Posted June 11, 2007 Posted June 11, 2007 Great looking smallie - and good to know it's still swimming. I haven't done well on any soft plastics when the water is murky in that stretch, just spinnerbaits and cranks. I was going to go yesterday, but I was running a 102 degree fever, so I'm still home sick today, watching the front yard flood here in Ozark. Looks like the James may be up in the fields the next couple of days.
