Arkansas Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Bull Shoals 11/19/05:

Dam area to Lead Hill: Most of the fish are still coming out of deep water; Kentuckies have been suspended around 20’ deep over as much as 70’ it just depends on where the shad are at. Smallmouth are still holding on deep points and humps and can be caught on Jewel football and spider jigs in PB&J or brown / purple flash with a Chomper 4” cinnamon / purple / jelly jig trailer, they seem to be in more of a roaming mood so you will need to cover a lot of water in avariety of depths to be successful.

Lead Hill to Power site: There is a lot more color in the upper reaches of the major creeks around and above Lead Hill. A Jewel Lavender Shad spinnerbait fished tight to a windy chunk rock bank will produce some nice fish through out the day. If it is calm switch over to Jewel football or spider jig and concentrate on transition and channel swing banks toward the backs of the creeks.
