Arkansas Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Bull Shoals 12/18/04 :

Dam area to Lead Hill: The deep bite continues to be the best pattern, 3/4 oz. white and chrome spoons and drop shot finesse worms fished on main lake channel swing banks, bluff ends and on the edge of deep flats. Look for shad to be successful most of the bait seems to be suspending in 35' - 85' of water. There are a few fish being caught on bluff ends and deep points on Jewel Spider jigs in both PB&J and Brown / purple flash with a twin tailed grub for a trailer.

Lead Hill to Power site: A Jewel spider jig or a tube fished on deep points and channel swings is your best bet, PB&J or Missouri craw with a green pumpkin twin tail are your best color on the jig, green pumpkin or watermelon red flake on the tube. A few fish being caught on a mojo rigged french fry on the edge of deeper flats as well as on drop offs near points and channel swings. There have been a few fish caught on Lucky Craft Pointers both 100 and 78 sizes, best colors are chartreuse shad and aurora black, fished around large boulders and lay downs near deeper water.
