Arkansas Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Bull Shoals 09/18/05:

Dam area to Lead Hill: The top water bite on Bull remains strong early and late, fish are cruising pea gravel / chunk rock flats looking for schools of shad, watch for blow ups. As the day progresses switch over to dragging Jewel spider jigs, football jigs and small tubes from 10’ – 35’ deep over these same flats, most of the fish will be holding tight to any cover that is on the flat.

Lead Hill to Power site: Just like around the dam the top water bite early and late is hard to beat, when the sun comes up thought you will need to look at a couple of different patterns. The first is to drag either a Jewel football or spider jig or a Carolina rigged lizard on pea gravel flats and points near deep water. The fish seem to be grouped up so if you catch one make a couple of additional casts to that spot to make sure you catch all the fish there.
