FISHING  REPORT
 

April 29, 2008

Lake Level: 931.38
Water Temp: 62-66

Fishing was a little slow earlier in the week but heated up this past weekend.  Fish are spawning all over the lake; they are hard to see because of all the shoreline cover.  I’m seeing a lot of bass fry in many areas of the lake.  We are catching them one right after another, finding them primarily on the edges of the submerged tree line.

 Fishing the spawn is exciting as the bass are shallow, aggressive, and many will be larger than those caught at many other times of the year. It appears to me that we will have an excellent spawn in this extended cover being provided by the high water and flooded bushes.

Some of the fish are feeding heavy after they spawn and several patterns are working.

I have had success on spinnerbaits in chartreuse and white with Colorado willow or tandem willow blades slow rolled around submerged willow bushes and willow trees.
Also working are crankbaits in Fire Tiger and shad patterns, DT-10’s, 7-8 Bombers on secondary points just on the outer side of the flooded trees.

Carolina rigged lizards, brush hogs and centipedes in green pumpkin, watermelon red and peanut butter & jelly. Football jigs in peanut butter and jelly colored fished in 15’ – 20’ on pea gravel banks around spawning pockets.


APRIL 15, 2008

Lake Temp: 52-54
Lake Level: 932.00  Normal Pool:  915.00

Table Rock is 18 feet over normal pool and the fish are scattered all over from the shoreline out to the old bank line in 18’ – 20’.  Spinnerbaits have been by far the most productive lure.  Some fish coming from submerged trees, bushes & buck brush that are normally high and dry.

Try setting the boat at the tree line, which is about 15’- 20’ and tossing the spinnerbait towards the bank.  In most places it is so far back you can’t see it and slow roll the bait back to the boat.  Fish the bait from 1’ – 6’ until you find the depth they bite at for that day, depths can change readily.

½ oz. – Ύ oz. baits working best for shallower cover, and the best blade combinations have been Colorado willow and tandem willow blades in gold or gold and nickel, also try some painted blades in white or chartreuse in the more stained water.  Lots of different skirt combinations working.  What are working best for me have been slaw colored for the muddy water and the chartreuse blue for the stained water. Crankbaits such as Wigglewarts, Bombers, & Strike King’s that run 6’ – 8’ deep will also work at catching these bass.

Should be many fish on beds this weekend with the full moon if the sun comes out and stays out.  This very well could be one of Table Rocks best years for the spawn, lake levels should stay high as there is no place for the water to go giving the bass fry an excellent cover to survive.  Good Luck & Good Fishing!
