Lake - Table Rock
8/23/10:
Kimberling City Area: The mid lake is still producing some very good fishing on a variety of deep patterns. Chompers drop shot and ROBO worms have been effective in tree tops at around forty feet. Jewel football jigs in green pumpkin green flash or PB&J with green pumpkin J tail grubs have been working well on isolated brush and rock piles twenty five to thirty five feet deep. Finally, white three quarter ounce War Eagle spoons have been producing quality and numbers around deep docks from thirty to sixty feet deep.
James River: Summer patterns dominate the river as well; deep crankbaits, Carolina rigs and football jigs have all been effective presentations over the past week. DD 22's and DT 20 crankbaits in lavender shad or citrus shad are producing on roll offs and off shore humps with isolated cover. Make multiple casts from a variety of angles to find the sweet spot on the cover. Jewel football jigs in brown purple flash and black blue flash or Carolina rigged green pumpkin lizards and brush hogs have been working on rocky points and humps near deep water.
White River: The White River continues to be very productive; Jewel football jigs and Carolina rigged lizards in isolate rock piles, deep crankbaits on humps and roll offs and drop shot rigs and spoons in tree tops will all produce fish. Standing timber has produced a few fish early and late on spooks, wake baits and other top water presentations this past week, early morning when air temps are lower than water temps causing a haze or fog have been the best times. Up the Kings River a ten or twelve inch worm worked through brush piles ten to twenty feet deep has been producing some very big fish.
Dam Area: The deep bite has remained the best pattern over the pat week on the lower end. Chompers drop shot worms and ROBO worms worked in and around deep tree tops has been one of the most productive patterns. Look for trees toping out around thirty five to forty five feet deep with shad near by. The spoon bite around docks has turned on over the past week as well; fish large docks on points thirty to ninety feet deep and concentrate on shady areas to be effective. The white bass bite has slowed a little over the past week but large schools can still be found and numbers can be caught in pockets and coves from first light to nine o'clock.
