Arkansas Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Bull Shoals 03/13/05:

Dam area to Lead Hill: Still catching quality fish on Jewel spider jigs in 15' - 25' of water on both main lake and secondary points, mostly smallmouth but an occasional Kentucky will be caught as well. Most of the KY's are still holding deep on bluff ends and can be caught on spoons and drop shot finesse worms in 35' - 60' of water, the bite is not great but you can catch a small limit if you work at it. THe better fish seem to be moving into the northern creeks, look for them to be on transition banks and rocky points, when the wind is blowing a phantom green wiggle wart is hard to beat.

Lead Hill to Power site: A brown craw wiggle wart is still producing fish on windy chunk rock points and channel banks. Look for the fish to be in 3' - 8' of water and most of your strikes will come as the bait bounces off of a rock or other cover. IF there is no wind switch over to an Eakins' jig in PB&J with a Yamamoto cinnamon purple twin tail grub for a trailer and fish these same areas to 20' deep.
