Guys I've been creeping here for a few months preparing for this week. I met an old army buddy up here that I haven't seen in 26 years. He's from KY I'm from TX. We have been catching on wind blown points on the James and White. Our go to has been a green spro rc but struggle with other techniques.  Can anyone suggest other options/ locations we could check out? Today was slow but still 20230405_124133.jpgmanaged to boat 8 lm/spots!

Welcome to the forum, nice fish. 
Check out Pete Wenners current video report he posted yesterday. 
Exactly what he said was already tied on in my rod locker, with the exception of the RK color selection for the dirty water. I just have not done well on RED. 

Staging fish are off the long gravel points if you like that type of fishing using FFS. and the little 2.8 or 3.3 inch swimbait or you can chunk and wind the off color stuff. 

Let us know more about you and how you like to fish and how you’re doing. Lake section is very important here for good intel.

Good Luck

Fished the south end today. To say it sucked is an understatement…. The fish didn’t cooperate until 3ish and that is when the suspending rouge shined on wind blown, pea gravel, windy points. Still sucked but at least I caught 4 and didn’t get skunked.

We are heading back home in the morning and hope to come back next spring but I think we are going to push it back a week.

Good luck and tight lines guys….

Safe travels.

It does take a long time for the old puddle to warm up, and stay that way.

We are heading up Sunday and will be there for the week. Can anyone give me any idea how the forecasted rain is going to affect the lake? Will it come up much? It was 915 last year when i was up there last year. I'm sure the 80 degree temps next week will help get them going.

The evening jerk bait bite saved our day... The rest of the day was a struggle! Saw teamps upto 68. Caught the majority of our fish in 65 degree water on windblown bluff banks... Heading to bull shoals tomorrow.
