Lake - Table Rock

7/18/10:

KimberlingCity Area: Summer patterns have completely taken over the mid lake over the past week. The most consistent bite has been deep; Chompers and Robo worms on a drop shot rig fished in tree tops ranging from thirty five to fifty feet deep or on gravel flats thirty to forty feet deep. Look for schools of shad to find the active fish. A Jewel football jig will produce smallmouth and largemouth on gravel and rock points, look for rock pile to concentrate most of the fish from twenty five to thirty feet deep.

James River: The heavy rain again this week has kept the James River stained keeping fish a little shallower than the rest of the lake. Deep diving crankbaits continue to produce on roll off points and ledges, Carolina rigged lizards and Jewel Football jigs are effective in these same areas when fish are less active. Ten and twelve inch worms are working in brush piles around dock and on gravel flats from Campers Point to Asher Cain.

White River: Fish can be caught with a wide variety of techniques throughout the White River. From Baxter to Shell Knob the deep bite has been the most productive, with large schools of spotted bass holding in tree tops from thirty to fifty feet deep. Use Chompers or Robo worms on a drop shot or white spoons to catch these fish. Further up river Carolina rigged lizards and Brush Hogs or Jewel Football jigs are working on grave roll off points and in deep brush piles. Up the Kings River a very good shallow crankbait bite has developed in flat pockets and around laydowns.

Dam Area: The dam area is still dominated by the deep bite, drop shot rigs and spoons have been the best options with fish holding on gravel roll off points, flats and tree tops from thirty to fifty feet deep. Chompers plum or brown purple worms, Robo MMIII or Aarons Magic worms on a drop shot have been the best colors. Up Long Creek there is a very good flipping bite with Texas rigged worms and Jewel Eakins jigs in flooded brush or laydowns.

Lake – Taneycomo

7/18/10

Taneycomo is still producing numbers and quality, jig fishing is still productive with olive, ginger and black being the most productive colors. The jig bite has been best from the trophy area to Cooper creek, with the best bite while one or two units are running. Drift rigs with Gulp and Power Bait eggs or half night crawlers have been producing from Fall Creek to below Branson. Inject a small amount of air in the night crawler to keep it off the bottom and draw more strikes.
