Arkansas Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Bull Shoals 11/21/04 :

Dam area to Lead Hill: With a little wind you can catch a few fish on a phantom green wiggle wart on chunk rock banks and points, work the bait parallel to the bank from 6' - 10' deep. Shad have moved toward the backs of a few of the creeks, when you find them you will find the fish, throw a Jewel Lavender shad spinnerbait in and a around the shad to be successful. Without any wind your best bet is to fish deep with a Jewel 5/8 oz. football jig in PB&J with a cinnamon purple twin tail trailer on pea gravel points and flats. Fish the bait from 20' - 50' deep concentrating on any areas that have a little rock or wood cover.

Lead Hill to Power site: There are still quite a few fish being caught on a Bandit 100 or Jewel Rush Keel Tandem spinnerbait in the backs of creeks in and around schools of shad. Early and late you can also catch a few on a Rampage buzz bait in white in these same areas. If there is little or no wind move to channel swing and ledge rock banks and fish a Jewel Eakins' jig in brown purple flash with a green pumpkin Eakins' craw trailer in and around any wood cover.
