Try bull shoals 

We have been on Bull a couple times and really like the lake. 
Our problem is wife has to schedule vacations way in advance and trying to out guess when Bull won’t be hugely flooded is tough. 
The one time we tried it flooded so bad while we were there we had no idea where to try and launch and headed home early.

Way up lake, Big M and above all the way to Houseman, is never as bad. From the dam, you are talking 50 or 60 river miles. Trust me, the upper end holds good fish (perhaps not as many SM).  Stay in crazy Eureka, launch at Holiday Island (they sometimes have nightly slips with power), and enjoy.

That would be an idea but wife really likes staying Kimberling City. 
plus we really like chasing smallmouth mostly.

Fishing on the upper White has been excellent this year. Top water has been good to great and there is always a jig bite and a swimbait bite. 

Sorry however on the Small Jaws, seems to me Rock Creek is the cut-off. Yes there are some everywhere but less and less above Campbell Point. 

Did catch my biggest ever right across from Big M 6.1 pounds. That was 20 years ago. 

Unlike Crazy4 fishin, there was a crowd at Shell Knob. All the ramps including Viola were full to over capacity. 

Unlike past years however no one seemed to cut people off. Most all the tournament guys were fishing dirt. Over and over. 

Neighbor had 40 fish Sunday with one over 4 pounds and he said 15 solid keeps

Where we are fishing you would have to have a deer rifle to hit the bank.  
They have been on these channel swings for months, along with millions and millions of shad.  Although it’s off the bank we’re still fishing 15’ to 22’. 

Going to fish the Homer Sloan charity event Saturday with my son. Of course they will just vanish on Saturday but he right back there on Sunday. 

Durn Wacky fish.
