Arkansas Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Bull Shoals 12/18/05:

Dam area to Lead Hill: Not allot of changes over the past week; smallmouth are holding from 10’ – 35’ deep and can be caught on Jewel spider and football jigs in PB&J or brown purple flash, Kentuckies and following schools of shad and will eat spoons, drop shots and grubs and largemouth are relating to shallow cover and are eating jerkbaits, wiggle warts and Eakins’ jig and craw combos. There are also a few fish being taken on the bigger docks around the dam area as well, pitch to the center walkway to be successful.

Lead Hill to Power site: A wiggle wart is still the most productive bait in the upper end of the lake. Look for 45 degree mixed rock banks to be holding most of the fish and make parallel casts in 6’ – 10’ of water. There have been a few fish taken on rogues and Lucky Craft pointers this past week, deeper mixed rock points are producing strikes from bass, walleye and even some bigger whites.
