man i am  new to bass fishing ( started about 3 mo ago).... been a trout guy my hole life. Grew up on the white river here in norther ar.

This bass thing is a hole different game! lol  i been reading in the back ground here for a long time, & watching glenns video's even b4, thats how i found this place.... hey you tube is good for something after all! ha ha j/k ..

 

i live in a awesome place, one i would not trade for anything! Watching fishing shows sure dont help much here, our lake is 661 + feet deep, mostly rock & brush piles & buck brush & super clear water.... no drak stained water hardly unless a rain, & ha rd one, & then u gotta hit deep coves... no grass that i have found, no lillies...  man i if can master this lake all others are gonna be ez! lol

 

anyway, i have spoken with a few & seems as of lately fishing  is tough all over.... fish not bitting , or short striking , just wont commit to the baits....  if anyone is in this area and having any luck & feels inclined to help me out i would love to hear from u !

 

Glenn gave me some ideas to try & i am very greatful ! going out sat night and plan to use this info then!

 

hope to hear & maybe even meet some of you , thanks ahead of time.. james

Yep. Bull shoals is one of the hardest lakes that I have ever fished. We have gone to that lake in the middle of summer, and have done nothing during the daylight hours.

I would try fishing right before sun up and right after sun set. Topwater baits along bluffs or jigs back in the coves.

I like fishing Bull but it can be really tough. Last time I was down there a slow rolled Keitech Swing Impact on a 1/4oz jighead in the 22-26 foot range was really killing them. 

Fish the upper portion of the lake by starting a few miles below the Tanycomo Dam.

A couple of specific arms a little further down are Big Sister and Little Sister. I have

had some terrible trips on this lake, but I also had my best ever one year.
