Sunday Fishing Report

Fished the AIA as an alternate with good friend Don Gossett  it was the kick off for Table Rock. After a 2.5 hour fog delay. We started to clear blue high pressure fishing. Surface temps started at 47 and by 4pm had reached 51 in the dam area

Lots of the channel swing creek locations I had been fishing really muddied up but we managed 11.78 pounds. 2 of those came from clear water in the Kimberling area on a float-n-Fly. Both were 4 pounders.  It was hard for lots of us, we only had 4 keepers and a total of only 6 fish. The other 4 were A-Rig fish. 

86 boats in the derby and we came in 13th and got a decent little check. 20.44. Won it with second at 15.24. Out of the 86 boats 40 teams skunked so it was a very tough bite

Most to all fish caught on a Rig, Swim Bait, Spoon or jig. However I have no idea how you could fish that jig as the moss and slime are terrible

With the water warming this week and the lake color I expect to see some crank bait and spinner bait shallow as the water has risen over the moss line.  Moss line is at 906 and the lake is now 916 with color so that should come into play pretty quick

None of the fish however were spitting craws. All Shad so it makes you wonder. I’m hyped about fishing this week and will try and keep you up to date

Good Luck

I fished Beaver on Sunday afternoon in the Rocky Branch area and only caught 2. Both were keepers with one being a nice one. Water temps were 45 - 49. I saw high 49’s but no 50’s.   I fished from 2 until about 5:30. 

I found 54 degrees on Friday when I was prefishing. A huge log jam prevented me from going there to check it out Saturday. I caught close to 20 fish there Friday but they were all shorts. I was hoping the bigger fish would move in there with the rising water.

Spinnerbait bite is already on. Caught five on it Sunday mid-day from steep pockets with stained water. Upper White. Water temp 49-51. One solid 3.5, others all 2-plus. Donna kicked in a solid 2.5 on a jig for a best-five total of 12-13 lbs. Good bite is coming.

We simply waited too long to go to that type of water and should've turned left instead of right when we made our move upstream.
