Water Temp: Main Lake: 85-87
River Arms 85-92
Kimberling City, Baxter, Campbell Point &
Dam area to Aunt's Creek~
The thermocline has set up around 26' - 30'
in these areas. This is the key depth
to keep your bait in. Catching fish
lots of different techniques. The drop
shot working well on main lake long flat
points, bluff ends, and around deep docks.
Some of the fish are suspending at 25' - 30'
or just off the bottom around 26' - 32'.
Bottom depth doesn't matter
much, the key depth to where the fish are
biting is 25' - 30'. 4" finesse worms
workingin watermelon candy, plum &
watermelon red. Chrome or white
jigging spoons are successful in boat stalls
or around deeper main lake docks.
If all else fails use night crawlers on your
drop shot rigs. Football jigs and Carolina
rigs will work on the gravel flats and
points around 25' - 30'. There has
been a little top water action early.
Keep an eye out for surfacing white bass,
small top water baits and spoons will catch
these fish.
River Arms
There has been a good top water bite early
and lots of smaller fish, you have to work
through the smaller fish to get a bigger
bite. We have had luck fishing
football jigs, Carolina rigs, or Shakey head
worms fished on the bottom 10' - 20' around
schooling fish, we are finding more
success with these type baits for bigger
bass. Fish have been on channel
swings, humps and points where the main
river channel comes in close.
Deep diving crankbaits such as DD 22's, Fat
Free Shads, & DT 16 & 20 in shad colors are
working some days in those areas also.
When the fishing slows down I've had our
best luck with 4"-6" finesse worms in
watermelon red, green pumpkin red, or
watermelon candy worms, rigged on 3/16
and 1/4 oz. Shakey head, fishing them very
slow.
Good Luck!!
