Bull Shoals - Freshwater Fishing Report
The water temp is in the low to mid 80's and the lake level is 556.1.
Stripers: The stripers are starting to get into their summer pattern suspended and in schools. Look for them down 40-50ft. As the water gets warmer they will travel deeper.
Bass: Bass are hitting topwater baits early in the morning. After the sun gets up higher you'll need to fish with a jig,dropshot or texas rigged worm. Try a swimbait and real it in slow.
Walleye: This time of the year you can catch some hanging around brushpiles. Try dropping a jigging spoon but be prepared to loose a few in the brush.
