fisherrw Posted May 10, 2017 Posted May 10, 2017 Any reports of how fishing is at bullards bar? I will be up there may 24th or 25th. Its my first time ever fishing the lake so any advice would be greatly appreciated! Quote
blckshirt98 Posted May 11, 2017 Posted May 11, 2017 Friend of mine just went up there a month ago for a bachelor party...they were all smashed and only caught a handful of fish but he did say there were a lot of recreational boats up there. So I guess not too much advice here, except you might want to scope out some sheltered spots that would provide cover from the recreational boats. Quote
Airman4754 Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 It's an extremely deep reservoir in a land of very deep reservoirs. Every point is that perfect 45 degree slope and I've never seen a place with so many main lake points. Fish points and stump banks. Try the back of a few coves to see if any are back spawning. If they are shaky head those areas heavily. You need three things; shaky head, football jig, and a 6" glide bait. 90% of the fish over 5lbs come on one of those three. 1 Quote

A 6" Hudd would probably work. Don't complicate it though. The last six world records out of there came on a shaky head and jig. 1 Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted May 13, 2017 Super User Posted May 13, 2017 Fisherrw, you might want to check out the video- Pro Team Journal, " Left Coast Spots" featuring BASS Elite Angler Cody Meyer getting them averaging 8lbs throwing a Strike King Ocho. Hope this helps, JB 1 Quote
