And The Rains Came

[aclark609]

I'm about to take the boat out tomorrow and was wondering how the fish will react to all this rain. I figure some fish were starting to move up to bed with the water temperature being about sixty, and then the rain came pouring down for the last couple of days and the air temperature dropped 15-20 degrees. What would be your method for be catching em?

BTW I'm going to be fishing Bull Shoals Lake in the Peel area, if that helps.

I'm hearing tremendous reports about The Rig on Table Rock, but not much about Bull Shoals.

I was over there two weeks ago fishing with ghoti., Long Mike and our long time friend and guide,

Tim "Hotdawg" Curtis. Dawg said the lake fishing was REAL slow, but we slayed the trout on

the river!

Bull is rough right now. It's off, to say the least. I got stomped there a week ago, when in practice I had several 5lb fish. Not one of my best finishes. It's as though there's no real pattern, nothing moves from one day to the next, it starts over at sunrise.

The other area lakes are on fire, however.

We must have just stumbled onto the fish when we were out there. We fished Bull one day last week and wore them out. A-rig and shakeyheads was killing them. We weren't catching monsters but solid 2-4 pound keepers all day. Seemed like the gravel and small rock points had the most quality fish on them and they were eating the rig. Chunk rock 45 degree banks had lots of keepers on them with the shakeyheads. Our biggest fish came from the back of small pockets on the A-rigs.
