Sunday Am Report

[Bill Babler]

Have been on the Rock every day this week, but just too much going on to be at the computer.

Great depth lake wide seems to be in the shallow to 16 ft. range. Small Jaws on flat gravel and also some chunk and K's out on the deeper edges on the ledges and chunker stuff.

Wind has been a great equalizer and when it blows the fish will bite. Good catches of Blacks out of the creek channel cedars and also off bluff ends.

Football jig is catching lots of fish as is the shaky head and hula grub and dragging a french fry. Wiggle Wart is also starting to really catch on as Chris Tetrick is doing pretty well on this wide wobbling crankbait.

Huge numbers of fish are not being caught, but the quality is really good. Good day on the rock now is a dozen fish with 10 keepers up to 4 pounds.

Heard rumors of a 8 and a 9 pounder, coming out of the cedars in the Heartland Practice. Lots of 4's and 5's.

Have kept pretty good track, and my best 5 each day this last week would be between 12 and 16 pounds, depending on the day.

All my and my clients fish have either been on a blade or a jig.

Anybody know who won the Heartland and what they had. Drop shot,FB jig, or the blade. Thanks for the report.

Bill Beck I think with almost 16lbs. Congrats to Bill. I heard he was fishing deep, but just heard...

[HUNTER]

Thanks for the time and a "good old fashion" fishing report. It seems fall is in the air and each day, less tourneys and having the hunters choosing bucks over bass it should get better and better. Caught nice smallies on FB on Sat. one being 4.5#+. Just a lot of competition for those fish last week. Looking forward to having some "quiet time" on the lake.

Thanks Again Bill!

Thanks for the report, and a follow-up Q if I may: Do you mean flat gravel out in the lake or inside the creeks?

[MOBass]

You just sold me on fishing Table Rock this weekend. Thank you for information you shared in your report. Can you disclose a general area of the lake where the wiggle wart bite is on?

[Bill Babler]

Been off the TR fourm for a couple of days on taney. Another big derby this weekend with Central Pro-AM.

Wiggle Wart bites seem to be on secondary gravel points on the main lake. CT caught most of his fish from Point 11 to Point 19, thats about all I can give up on that. My fish came dragging a jig in shallow water, although, I have heard that they have gone a little deeper, out to the early 20's.

Still no topwater stuff, and I am guessing there won't be. Blade is working in the wind and the fish are holding on some type of wood early in the day on these colder mornings.

Beck is fising the Pro-AM, so I am still alittle bit careful on info as I don't want to step on toes.

I have also heard and know for a fact that the dragging bite has been pretty good in the dam area, with quite a few SMJ being caught in the 14 to 26 ft. range on gravel with some chunk. On windy days these fish move up and the spinner is a pretty good choise.

Doh! I didn't realize the central pro am was going to be there this weekend. I guess I'll go down Sunday in hopes of less folks on the water. Hopefully with the cooler weather the fair weather types will hang it up and the call of the deer woods will get the rest.
