Steve McBasser Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Gary and I put in near Shell Knob yesterday. We found the water temperature to be right at 52* at the ramp but the main lake was closer to 54*. The water color was very slightly stained. The fish we caught came off of main lake and secondary gravel points in 18' of water or less. Bigger fish were deeper. We caught them on a ned rig, a hula grub, and a blade bait stitched slowly along the bottom. ( Dang, I'm loving that blade bait.....) We also caught a few on a crawler in the afternoon after the wind came up. Altogether it was a pretty good day. grizwilson, nomolites, AR Huzgr and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members whateversbiting Posted March 24 Members Share Posted March 24 Fished the Kings today with the kids. Caught two LMB, two spots and two striped bass. No keepers. Biggest was 14 3/4”. All fish caught on A-rig or swim bait in 10-15 fow. Kids got lots of snags, but the fish wouldn’t eat unless it was moving slow. Any tips for finding some bigger fish? Nice day to be out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McBasser Posted March 24 Author Share Posted March 24 Been a while since I fished the Kings River arm but back in the day there was an awesome Wiggle Wart bite this time of year. Rock Crawlers are more popular now but the the wart still catches a lot of fish. Secondary points, both gravel and bluff end can be great for bigger fish. If you're catching lots of small fish just move out a little deeper.... walleye4butch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
