STLbassbuster Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Stayed within a couple miles of the dam area all 3 days. Friday had the lowest wind and I only caught a non-keeper smallmouth halfway back in a creek during the morning hours. Made a move to a short pocket off the main lake and picked up 3 keeper LM all on a 1/2oz jig in less than 10ft of water. One was a 4.25 and that fish got me 8th place for one of hours. Day 2 Saturday moderate-strong winds. Caught 3 keepers all day, 2 on a bigger 3/4oz spinnerbait and one on a jig. All fish were caught in less than 10ft of water. Traffic in coves were busy do the wind on the main lake so I did not get to fish a lot of the areas I wanted to. None of the keepers were big enough to weigh in, all were 2 1/2 lbs. Day 3 Sunday Still had moderate to strong winds all day. Less boat traffic since MLF tournaments were done. I started on a wind blown main lake point and caught 4 keepers in the morning. 1 on a swim jig and 3 on the A-rig. Once the clouds cleared the A-rig bite died. Made a move to short main lake pockets. Picked up the 1/2oz jig and went to work targeting the shelf rock with drop offs. I caught 6-7 keepers on the jig but again, all 2-2.8 lb fish. In the afternoon I ran way back in a creek to get out of the wind. Caught 2 more on the a-rig and 1 more on the jig. I had 2 12-13 lb limits but no money fish and overall had a blast! I learn more each time I get to fish table rock which is only 1-2 times a year. I always appreciate the information shared on this page as it has really helped me catch more fish!
