Report compiled by Bryan Bochert, guide, and the gang at TMR 417 273 4444

Bull Shoals Lake temperature is in the upper seventy's and is fairly clear.

Walleye have moved to banks just inside coves that have a drop off at thirty feet. A crawler harness with a silver smile blade will catch a few eye's in the morning.

Bass: They are in transition. Topwater baits around brush piles
and on main lake flats, drop shot rigs along bluff banks, spoons around shad, in the back of coves less than five foot deep with a fluke, and windy banks with a rat-l-trap.

Catfish: Jug lines set thirty to forty-five feet deep along
channel banks baited with live bluegill for blues and flatheads.

Crappie: Try small spoons around deep brush piles twenty-five to thirty-five feet deep. Trolling Bandit crankbaits twelve to fifteen feet deep along channels will work also.

Remember to keep only what you can eat and release the rest for another day. Rick Culver of Wilderness Trail does the research for this report and the writing of this report.
