Better bite at Bull Shoals on Tuesday 4/23/24

[Steve McBasser]

Ron and I launched the boat near Theodosia on Tuesday. Water temp at the ramp this time was 60.5*. We found 64* in the back of the creeks in the afternoon. Started out throwing all the typical springtime baits without getting bit at all for almost and hour. Then, I picked up my wacky worm pole and threw a 5" Senko in watermelon/red. Game on! We spent the next several hours catching... not just fishing. It was awesome. Hope you all are getting to go too. Its springtime. Go get you some....

Great fish!  I have been thinking about the wacky Senko myself, just have not thrown it.

It can be hard to beat this time of year. My buddy Paul used to throw it a lot around the spawn while I was stitching my hula grub. He out fished me with it several times but I was stubborn and would keep throwing my grub. He passed away a couple years ago now so I threw it Tuesday in his honor. I was glad I did. There were lots of biters, but pretty sure they were all males. (Long and skinny.) The big females are going to start moving up pretty quick. Better rig one up
