Folks I finally got a chance to get back out and fish a little. My fishing buddy Doug. ( right) showed me how to do it last night, his two were caught on the same plug at the same time. Both were short fish, however one was a Smallmouth the other a Kentucky or Spotted Bass. Mine on the left was a three plus pound Spotted Bass taken on a shad colored crank bait in 20 feet of water, at the very back end of a cove. They are scattered, however we found them off main lake points, over ledges and on the rip-rap of the Kimberling City bridge. Smallmouth are a little more active than the Largemouth, Spots are active when you are in their area. The shad, a bait fish. is plentiful in Tablerock and a main source of food for these fish. All of the Bass are stocking up on them. Buddy Doug even took a large Goggle-eye on a black spinner bait. I'd say right now if you have the patience to keep throwing you will catch a nice mess of fish. The lake level is coming up fgast due to the amount of rain we have relieved in the last couple of weeks. The water is still what I would call clear so a slight breeze is a bonus. The surface temperature was 73 degrees yesterday.
