Members JQL Posted September 20, 2020 Members Posted September 20, 2020 Fished out of Tucker Hollow between Tucker and Diamond City last week for three days. The lake was beautiful, quiet and peaceful as always, not much boat traffic up that way mostly early morning bass fisherman and I think they were doing pretty good shallow on top water bite, later in the morning I saw more boats fishing the points. I was bottom bouncing Main and Secondary points 25 feet out to 40 ft. and I could not get a Walleye to bite, part of the problem was that I could not keep the Blue Gill off the hook. Guess I need to learn how to troll crank baits. Just wondering if anyone is having any luck with the Eyes, the weather is so nice I would like to go back down maybe try the Buck Creek area next time.

I’ve have had some great trips the last week. I’ve been fishing from k dock to shadow rock on flats. Keeping the boat in 25 fow give or take. Trolling Crawler harness are producing numbers. Trolling Cranks and jigging spoons are producing better quality. We’ve boated 9 keepers in 3 trips within the last couple of weeks, releasing 3 times that many shorts ranging from 8-17.5 inches. Only one one occasion did I get into the bluegill. I enjoy catching and eating them as well. It’s great to see Bull getting back I to its banks compared to past 5 months. Great fishing of all species to come. snagged in outlet 3, luckycraft, nomolites and 3 others 6

Members JQL Posted September 23, 2020 Author Members Posted September 23, 2020 Thanks for the report, and pictures, I thought about trying a couple of flats but never got to them, I just kept working all my spots along the points, good to know your having success. Will work some flats next time down.

navery Posted September 24, 2020 Posted September 24, 2020 Yeah, that road launch is out of play for me at this level. Figured the levels should be getting pretty close for shadow rock. When i was launching of the road up in Swan creek, the level was 688ish and my graph showed 8 ft deep as i idled over the road at the concrete bridge in Swan creek.
Paco Posted October 2, 2020 Posted October 2, 2020 This was 6-17-20. Shadow Rock is now open.... opened Wednesday morning Old dog 417 1
