tougher bite, had to slow way down. Half way back in the creek channels. Any points or structure the fish may hold on as they left the back of the creeks back out to the lake. Bigger bites came on a football jig. dragging it slowly keeping bottom contact.

It was a tuff day out on bull shoals. Fished a joe bass tournament out of buck creek. We caught all our fish on a rigs in about 15 to 20 feet of water. Did catch one in 30. Biggest one was about 4 pounds. We fished in the backs of pockets and brush piles. We saw a lot of dead shad in the water and saw a lot of big balls of shad in the backs of pockets.overall it was a tuff day on the water but still fun

Spent the day around the K dock area. Used side scan to locate Shad and crappie on the flats. Found several good schools of fish and shined them with active target. A lot of fish and a lot of fun. Still offering trips in January and February. Have some openings and the bite is great on all three lakes right now. SoMo Fish Co 417-838-3122
