Water Level: 916.8 Normal Pool 915.00 Water Temperature: Mid to High 80's main lake Water Color: Clear around the lake Air Temperature: Mid 90's Wind Condition: Calm Forecast: Clear to Partly Cloudy and warm Deep Water Bite is on!!! Started to notice we are building a thermo cline right at the 30 feet range and the fish have moved out to deeper water and are starting to suspend in and around really deep cover. Deep water trees and docks and brush piles that come to or are right in the 30 - 40 foot range seems to be the best bet for this hot blue bird sky days. Now is the time to see who has done there homework and what type of structure they have found. Use your electronics to find these trees that come up to the 30 - 40 foot range, fish will be hanging right in the tops or right on the sides of these trees. Drop shot is the only way that I can catch them now. Crawlers and some plastics are working, so get out early and then go in and take a nap!!! Early and late in the day we are still having a small topwater bite, but as I fish everyday I'm watching it get slower and slower as these fish move out to deeper water for the summer, best bet for me was the totally calm mornings. Fish are chasing shad in front of the Larger boat docks and on the Main Lake Flats and the Main Lake flat pockets, look for surfacing fish chasing shad, throw past them and work your bait right through them. Remember DON'T JERK!!! Let the bait just disappear. I have been using a few baits with really good action, the smaller Super Spook Jr in bone white and the Jackall Pop-R in Natural Shad colors are getting the action this week. Back in Full Swing is the drop shot rig with plastic or crawlers. Working these baits in and around the big docks with deep water on the front of them. Target the dock cables which are really starting to hold good groups of fish. Colors for drop shot worms are Oxblood (Brown) with red flakes and chart and brown 3 and 4" worms. Look for all three types of bites as it has changed everyday this week. Also look for fish holding still on the bottom on the main lake pea gravel points, Deep water trees and on the commercial docks these fish are hold from 15 feet early and working there way back out to 40 - 45 feet during the heat of the day. Bite is good until about 12:00pm or so then it really slows down. Trout Fishing is Great! Trout fishing is starting to change with the generation of water from Table Rock again, the lower area of Taneycomo is still best bet for producing some good fishing. With Table Rock Being high the Corp is running 2-3 units running full time and causing a fast flow of water, start looking for fish under docks and moving into creek arms on Taneycomo. Nest bet is to drag power bait on a 2 pound leader from the cooper creek area to just past the Branson Landing area. Colors are White, Sunrise, Chartreuse, Orange, Yellow, Lemon Lime and Bubble Gum on the bottom or just suspended off the bottom. If you find a spot with fish stay there, fish are bunched up in groups right now.
Good Fishing Everyone
