Bull Shoals

[Bill Babler]

Buster has fished BS the last couple of days and told me today he launched at 2 different ramps. 

1 rig at each ramp. Said he saw no more than 5 boats per day. He is catching crappie, whites and walleye. 

Ramp at SK was full beyond full with rigs parked across 39 Hwy. in the old motel parking lot. Crazy amount of traffic. 

In retrospect we probably should have looked at something over there.

That's my thought. Only thing that gives me pause is high water access on Bull.

Been thinking the same myself, this area is growing like crazy, all the water around here, including the Bella Vista lakes, gets pounded.  

Would probably end up doing a lot more trout fishing if I lived near Bull.  I'd target browns.

There's that, too. Plus Norfork.

I really like Bull Shoals and used to fish it a lot but it is close to two hours each way and the added 5 feet of water has really changed it for me.

Bull Shoals is a flooded cesspool. Can’t launch a boat without wading waist deep, no place to eat, no place to stay, nothing at all for the family to do, terrible roads around it, and is just all around HELL.

 

y’all quit talking like it’s special over here in the TR forum. 
 

I mean it. 
 

Hush.

That's about half right, unfortunately.
