Fishin' Freak Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I have had the luck of getting out on the lake quite a bit in the last week and we have had some success. I will give you a short summary of our week. Wed. 6/20-- Scarecrow and I had the great opportunity to fish with Bill Babler. Bill took us over to Shell Knob and put us on some dropshot fish. We finished the morning with 15 fish and 3 keeps and one nice walleye!! We caught most of our fish in water depth in the upper 20's on points and flats. We had a great time and Bill is an unbeliveably great guy with a tremendous amount of knowledge on Table Rock. Thanks a bunch Bill! Fri. 6/22--Scarecrow and I fished up the James and caught quite a few fish and had two nice keeps. We had an 18 inch smallie and one nice black that weighed just under 4lbs. All our fish came on football jigs in water between 5 and 15 feet on main lake points and flats. Sun. 6/24--I went out early this a.m. for a few hours by myself. I started by throwing football jigs on main lake points between K-City and Baxter with no luck. I then went a little deeper and looked for some fish to dropshot and started finding them. I ended the morning with 15 fish and 7 keeps. All my fish came btw 30 and 35 feet of water off main lake points and humps. None of the fish were hogs but all nice spots. All my keepers were btw 15 and 15 1/2 inches and all the shorts were just barely short. I have heard before that fish school according to size--I don't know if this is really true but all 15 of the fish I caught would have measured within an inch or less of each other. Does anyone know if there is truth to this theory? I am posting a few pictures. Take a look at the one with the shad. Every fish I caught was spitting up shad all the way to the surface and all were the size of the one in the picture or bigger. If I found shad, I found fish. The bite was great from 6:30 to 8 and then died off. I was still marking fish but they didn't want to play. I don't know if any of this info helps anyone or not but get out and find the shad and you will find fish! OK--so I guess I don't know how to attach pictures. I will try again.

rps Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Good report. Your information is consistent with what I found up river on Friday. Once the sun was up, I marked fish as shallow as 23 feet, but charted greater numbers and larger hooks a little deeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
