Headed up this weekend

Sounds like the fishing is tough. I don’t see many reports.  I was planning on trying a spinner bait or crankbait.  Anyone been out?

I have been fishing the past 7 days along with my buddy. We fish by ourselves out of our own boats. Fishing has been fairly tough. Our best day for numbers has been was 18 and 14 fish, with with only a few of those being keepers. The majority of our fish have been caught swimming a grub or a Keitech. Some nice smallmouths over 3 pounds and some chunky keeper spots have been caught on days of fewer fish, but my buddy Dale has been pretty steady the last couple of days on both numbers and keepers. Clearer water towards Kimberling City, but we have caught some in the stained water in the white and James as well. With the high water warming, you would thing a spinner bait of a fluke bite would be happening soon. I'm going to post some pictures on a new post soon.

Thanks for the update

5 boats I talked to out yesterday from mid lake mill creek area. Most boats caught less than 10 fish and one none.  One did catch a 6lb largemouth on spinnerbait.

We had 5 fish with all but one on a spinnerbait.
