Bull Shoals help

[Fireman Dave]

Hey guys. Every year in the first week of April i fish bass tournament out of Lakeview Resort off 125. I always promise myself that I will spend 1 day out of my 2 days of pre fish chasing crappie but, that is shortly given up after 2-3 hours of absolute nothing. I know there are Huge ones in there cuz we catch a couple by accident on jerk baits. Water temps are always in the low 60's when im down there and i know they got to be moving in for the spawn. Does anyone fish for crappie on that lake with success?

Go to point 16 and work the 15-20' ledges with a 3.5" deep diving crank like the Cabelas walleye runner in black/Chrome or Blue/Chrome and catch you some walleye. You can thank me later.

The Eyes might be a bit farther back in the creek then, but by the full moon in May, they'll be on those main lake points and ledges.

Dang BigRiver.... you get around! First you help me in Mississippi and now on Bull. You got a cold beverage coming you're way partner. Is 16 the one with the lighthouse on top of the bluff? Last tournament I fished a guy ran right in front of me at the ferry Crossing... fishing the same thing your talking about

[BigRiverMarine]

I fish all over there for eyes in May. Points 7-11-16 etc. 16 is the the left when the lake spits. No lighthouse.

Oh ok. I know where you're talking about. I fish alot in big and shoal. The light house is another great spot for walleyes on crawler rigs. Your almost guaranteed when you head up there... but to the question at hand, you catching any crappie on at Lake?

[BigRiverMarine]

Only tried them once and didn't catch any. I've caught several walleye fishing tho.
