Big Bass Bite

[Bill Babler]

Some of the local guides have been fishing the lower lake for the past two weeks and catching huge bass and lots of them

Heard of several over 7# and not on the Stupid Rig. These big catches have been jig fish and using a  BIG SWIMBAIT 

Good Luck if you go.

How low is lower?  The description "65 to Powersite" is quite a bit of water.

Good point in speaking with these guys they are saying from the Gold Mine down, that area also includes Bull Creek and fishing the structure in the Rockaway Beach proper area, to Powersite dam. 

That's all I better say if I want anymore info from them

I love you Bill and have admired you but I wanna say this is a pretty fragile fishery that's not really big and it's long been a pretty good secret and I really hate for it to get out.  There are bass in taney yes, they are tough to find and can be rewarding yes.  I know several guys that work there arses off of locate these fish every year and out of respect for them I wish we could just delete this thread and let people figure things out on there own.  There are plenty of bass lakes in the area and trout and other things to be shared and I don't feel like people need to have their hands held for this lake.  I personally spend thousands of dollars a year to come down there and work HARD at figuring the lower lake out and it's taken years to do so and my favorite part about it is the peace and quiet of no crowds. That is as nice as I can put it and some things in this world need to be left unsaid and lower Taney detailed reports are one of them.

I remember Steve Holland telling me about him and Charlie Campbell catching big bass down there at night in the summertime.

Giving out spots that people should find on their own.

Wow. Sorry for asking.

I'd think complaints would be with Phil for even placing this on the forum. Didn't mean to get you in trouble, Bill.  All I was trying to get sorted was whether I should take a bass rod if we wouldn't be going past the WWTP. Makes me wonder if one of these guys was the one at Lake Ozark who was shooting a pistol at people fishing too close to his dock...

No I already had my panties in a wad on his first post.  You just picked the wound back open.
