Branson: Fishing guides have found more and more fish locked on beds as the water temperature has warmed through the week. Most are still males but they have become much more protective as the spawn progresses. The best baits if targeting fish on beds have been Tightlines UV 3" tubes in UV green with red flake, UV hogs in the same color and 6" UV finesse worms in UV green and Green red flake. Work all of these on a Jewel 3/16 oz. Squirrel head.
Kimberling City: The fish are locked on in the Kimberling City area, Branson fishing guides have found fish in gravel pockets in the larger creek arms. The same lures working on in Branson have been working in the mid lake area. A great secondary pattern has been throwing Jewel Squirrel heads with UV finesse worms or UV tubes on secondary points close to spawning areas. Look for both pre and post spawn fish to be holding on these points and target depths from 10' – 20' deep.
James River: The spawn is a little slower progressing on the James River, cooler rain water has kept most of the fish off the beds but as the water warms they will move up within the next week. With that in mind pre – spawn patterns have been the most productive on the James. Branson fishing guides have been doing well with split shot rigged Tightlines finesse worms and small hogs in UV green. Look for fish to be holding from 5 - 15' deep on secondary points close to spawning pockets in the larger creek arms.
White River: Spawning fish and post spawn fish dominate the White River right now. Branson fishing guides targeting fish on beds are using the same techniques and baits as the rest of the lake. Most of the fish are locked on when you find them so catching a few has been pretty easy. Post spawn fish can be found chasing shad on the surface early in the morning; spooks and Sammies have been the ticket while fish are on top. When the school settles down throw weightless Tightlines UV broken back jerks on 10# fluorocarbon line with a 4/0 hook.
