Bill Babler Posted March 10 Posted March 10 Son and I got out about 8 am yesterday. Lake here at Baxter was totally packed with boats even at 33 degree air temp. Steven just flat hung it on the Ole Man. Fished till noon. He had 17 out of the back of the boat and I had 2 yep a Duce. He was throwing a Megabass plus2 in TRS on 10# test line and I was throwing a Megabass plus 1 in TRS. on 15# line. Made a WHALE of a difference as he missed more than I caught. Kid is good with the Jerkbait. He’s fished with Buster and Beck so kind of has an idea how to fish it. Fished by myself today starting at 1pm. Fished for 3 hours on mostly flat water and a sky that went to Heaven without a cloud. I chased wind the best I could and caught 4 on Steven’s outfit. All keeps just big Fatty K’s. Neighbor started at the same time and did the exact same. We launched together and loaded out together. He had 4 keeper K’s on a McStick, chasing wind too. Surface temp at H ramp when I trailered at 4pm was 55.4 on flat water. Good Luck. STLbassbuster, Dock-in-it, Quillback and 6 others 9 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Quillback Posted March 11 Posted March 11 You're scaring me Bill, soon as I finish my coffee I am heading out. m&m 1
Bill Babler Posted March 11 Author Posted March 11 Buddy just sent me this picture. Sticker on the White River above the SK bridge. Megabass +2 French Pearl. 7.7#. STLbassbuster, Quillback, Ron Burgundy and 1 other 4 http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Quillback Posted March 11 Posted March 11 Bigger than my best five put together today. There was an early Ned bite, then I could not get thing the last 3 hours I fished.
Members Brennan Posted March 12 Members Posted March 12 Fished yesterday morning early. Put in at Big M to flat calm water. Struggle bus. Tried to force the jerkbait on them with very little action. Ran down lake looking for wind. After a few fruitless stops, I said the heck with it and ran up way up the Kings……I’m used to Truman lake so I’m more comfortable when I can’t see my jerkbait down 15 feet. Caught this one in about 2 feet of water just inside a bluff end point. Megabass jr. +1 in TR shad. I estimate somewhere in the 5 1/2 pound range. Had a few other fish on windy points but not much to speak of. Threw a RK crawler, Wiggle wart, Megabass z3, and even an old crawdad deep wee R on windy rock banks but couldn’t ever get a bite. Going out today with more of an open mind….and a few spinning rods! good luck. STLbassbuster, nomolites, snagged in outlet 3 and 2 others 5
Bill Babler Posted March 12 Author Posted March 12 Really tough for us this morning. 4 shorts 3 keeps and I lost one about 5# at the boat. Most all the shorts on a shaky head all the keeps that were just that on a McStick in TRS. right on the bank. Big fish I lost was on the sticker. Thought the wind would help but it ran us off the Lake. http://whiteriveroutfitters.com http://whiteriverlodgebb.com
Dutch Posted March 12 Posted March 12 We got no help from the wind today. We thought maybe crank or spinner would work but NO.
Members Brennan Posted March 13 Members Posted March 13 Fished a few hours today, 830-1130, and caught 8-10 14inch spots swimming a 2.8 inch keitech through timbered points. went up shallow to get un-snagged and spooked a big largemouth swimming in maybe 2 feet of water. That made me throw a vision 110 up shallow on wind blown banks…..but I couldn’t get the big bite like yesterday. I was looking for wind, but eventually found too much of it and went in early. snagged in outlet 3 and Quillback 2
