Bull Shoals - Freshwater Fishing Report
October 25th- 2013
Hello everybody ! The lake is turning over as it usually does this time of year. The water temperature is around 70 degrees on the surface and in the low 60's all the way down to 45-50 feet. The thermocline was around 45 feet and moving down. Not much change in the fishing. Not much to report. Until Next time.
BASS - updated 09-27-13
- Top water is working most of the time now. Spooks, flukes and any plastics that will go from the surface to 10 feet seem to be the best.
- Plastics are working in 10 to 15 feet of water in the middle of the day. The mustard colored and watermelon colored tube jig (gitzit) seem to be the best.
- Spinner baits on cloudy windy banks for Largemouth bass. Mostly natural colors in clear water and bright colors in dingy water.
- split shot or drop shot a night crawler or in 30 to 40 feet of water.
- Split shot a crawfish in 30 to 45 feet of water
- vertical spooning in 30 to 45 feet of water
WHITE BASS - updated 09-27-13
Very few reports of white bass. I would think trolling or spooning should be producing some of these.
Walleye - updated 09-27-13
- Bottom bouncing with night crawlers in 30 to 40 feet is producing some walleye.
- split shoting or drop shoting night crawlers in 30 to 40 feet is producing walleye
- flat trolling with deep diving baits, simulate a bluegill or minnow .
- spooning in 30 to 40 feet of water.
Crappie -
- Small minnows around brush piles
- small 1/16 ,1/32, 1/64 oz jigs around the brush piles.
