Tablerock Lake Report

[Bill Babler]

Bill, got me fired up with his report on the rock so I ventured out of Shell Knob to fish the upper White from Cambell Pt. to Eagle Rock. Tried to stay on transition banks and the first 100 yrds into cove mouths on the channel side. Fished alot of main lake on the channel swings also using the pointer and 2 different custom rogues.

Cambell Pt. to Shell Knob was pretty slow with 5 fish and only 1 keeper, but it was a real nice largemouth, taken off the boat ramp at the Point.

Shell Knob Bridge to Big M. Fishing fairely quickly on complete flat water with not a bit of a stir I caught another 5 with 3 keepers. These are mainly honey holes that I have caught fish on for years, that always seem to hold jerk bait fish. Some of the spots you would think that I'm the jerk for fishing them if you didn't know they held fish, they just look deserted and flat.

BigM to Roaring river 6 more fish with 1 keeper, a really good one. I work lots of cedars and some really brushy pole that usually hold rogue fish but no fish at all from the trees, only heavy rock banks and a couple on honey holes on flat, flat gravel. Water temp at start 47.8 end of day 49.2

Of the 16 fish 11 were largemouth and I had 5 spots. All the keepers were largemouth. All fish were in really good shape and looked to be getting ready to start transition. Didn't do anything but throw the jerk bait, I felt I had a really nice 7hrs. on the water.
