Arkansas Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Bull Shoals 01/16/06:

Dam area to Lead Hill: Most of the fish are being caught on tubes and Jewel spider jigs on deeper points and channel swing banks. Green pumpkin, brown / purple flash and PB&J have all been very productive colors. Look for areas where chunk rock is mixed with big rock and boulders to hold most of the fish. A few fish are being caught on jerkbaits on these same points, pause the bait 5 – 10 seconds between jerks.

Lead Hill to Power site: On windy days a brown craw wiggle wart has been hard to beat. Look for chunk rock and mixed rock banks with wind blowing in on them to hold most of the fish. Fish parallel to the bank 6’ – 8’deep and try to bank the bait of whatever cover you find. Calm days require a slower approach, an Eakins jig in Missouri craw with a green pumpkin Eakins craw has been producing fish on channel swing banks in the major creek arms.
