I heard it was just miserable at the dam. That area would be Long creek above the 86 bridge to point 7 near Kimberling City. 

Said it’s just been hammered by 100’s of guide trips, locals and tourist. 

Even when we lived there I didn’t fish that area this time of year as it pretty close to get ruined.  Without a doubt and without question just to much pressure on those fish. 

 

It was probably 9:30 when went from 86 to indian point.  There were bass boats everywhere.   I watch them come in to Clevenger every morning.   Most of them around 6 am or a little after.

We had a good limit today at 10 am around Kimberling and weigh in was at Aunts.  We headed in early because the boat traffic was getting so bad and i didnt want to beat up the fish in the well. My boat is only 19ft and is definitely not adequate to be around that area on a weekend. 

I think fish taking a beating in the livewell on days like this is just as much a factor as the heat when it comes to fish care
