Dink2 Posted November 11, 2014 Posted November 11, 2014 Fished Sunday pm and all day Monday. Water temp is 66-68 degrees and water is extremely clear. Afternoon bite Sunday was decent. Caught 8 and my Dad broke off about a 7 lb'er in Hausen Flats fishing edge of hydrilla in 15 ft. on Tx. Rig worm. The other 8 were all under 2 lbs. Monday was one of our worst days ever. Fished all day and only boated 4 fish. We have friends fishing with us and they did the same. The early morning bite was awful - should have slept in Threw Yellow Magic and white spinner baits early, then Tx-rigged worms, jig-n-craw, and rattle traps during day. Never could find a consistent pattern or bite. Fishing Hausen Flats, mouth of Hurricane, mouth of Six Mile, and smaller coves near Fox's Lodge. We are staying at Fin-N-Feather. One of our better fish was messing around next to the boat ramp....lol. Fishing pre-front Tuesday morning before heading back to Dallas. Hopefully we will find some fish, but if not, it's still good times at the Bend with my Dad and friends. 1 Quote

shaneus Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 Yes sir, I found a bunch of ducks! I enjoy hunting and fishing, my wife likes eating both! I just got permission to get me a duck boat Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 12, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 12, 2014 The number of ducks on the lake shock many people but what amazes me is the lack of hunters. Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I've never even seen a duck hunter on the lake. Always see ducks though. Shaneus, if you really wanna see some ducks, holler at me one day and I take you out on catahoula lake. We kill a 300-500 a year out there and see millions. It's one of, if not the best duck lakes in America. Quote
henrylewis Posted November 12, 2014 Posted November 12, 2014 I know the next time I go to the lake my shotgun will be in the boat hope to get good limits Quote
jcdogfish Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 There was a boat full of brush to touch up some blinds launching Saturday when I was picking up. Looks like it was a good decision to drain the water lines before I left. Guess I'll wait for the warm weekends from here on. Quote
RonnieF Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Hey B Fanatic, great job on the tourney up in Ark. Y'all did good man! Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Hey B Fanatic, great job on the tourney up in Ark. Y'all did good man! Thanks man! We had a blast. When we first got on Bull Shoals my buddy threw a quarter in the water and we counted it down over 13 seconds. Only reason we lost site of it was because it darted under the boat LOL!!! It's a completely different world up there. Had to learn to adjust to changing weather conditions and ultra clear water and NO GRASS! We were a little over a pound from winning it, had a few fish on that would have won it for us, but couldn't execute. Dropped a 4 first morning on Crown Lake on a 78 pointer. That fish hurt bad. Them Basscat boys really took care of us though. All expenses paid and got a little check for 2nd place. When I first got there Rick Pierce and Kevin Short already knew me by name. It was a blast hanging out with those guys. Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 13, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 13, 2014 Bull Shoals is a blast to fish! Ain't been there in years! Beautiful lake! Great job Quote
Dam Yankee Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 I have found that if you do not see the duck hunters and you get too close, they have a way of letting you know! Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 17, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 17, 2014 Would not want to be out there today! Quote
jcdogfish Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 No problems Catt,,,The anchor should hold you just fine on the edge of the river channel so the 4 - 5 footers should not be a problem. Quote

Been there, done that, ain't going back! Thursday & Friday looking good if ya got a slicker suit! Quote
jcdogfish Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Catt and others, on a note. How is the fishing during the winter? I'm talking on the days that get up into the 50's, 60's or even 70's between cold fronts. Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 18, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 18, 2014 I absolutely love winter fishing! It's kinda like punching mats, you can go hours with out a bite, then load the box in the next hour. Ya got to pay attention to weather patterns & be ready to go at the drop of a hat. Don't be fooled into thinking they want be shallow or they want chase a spinner bait or trap! Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 Yep, winter fishing can be great!  You have the whole lake to yourself.  And winter is a great time to catch a big sack too.  Punching and reaction type baits seem to work best for me. Quote
Super User Catt Posted November 18, 2014 Author Super User Posted November 18, 2014 Lures Jigs 1. I want a big bulky skirt on a grass jig, I'll often change the skirt; I shorten my trailer to where the claws are just past the shirt. 2. A 1/4 oz Bitsy Bug Flip, it's a small profile with a quality hook; my trailer is a Zoom Squrmin Chunk. 3. Rage Tail Lobster or Gene Larew Salty Hawg Craw; Texas Rigged 4. Stanley Wedge Double Gold Willowleaf White Skirt 5. 1/2 oz Rat-L-Trap Gold Black Back Orange Belly, Toledo Gold, or Chorme Red Quote
jcdogfish Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 As always, great info. Think I will get off the deer stand and sneak up there on the warmer weekends this year. Thanks Guys!! Quote
