Fish are on the move again on Bull Shoals Lake, to deeper water, that is. As the water continues to warm past the mid seventies, the thermocline will continue to ...more develop, and become more defined. The more defined it becomes, the more fish will relate to it. Focus your attention to main lake points and structure and deeper secondary points and structure. Walleyes continue to hit well on slow moving jigs at 25 to 35 foot depths over structure 40 to 60 foot deep. Smaller size, white, white and pink and white and green are producing the best. White bass are hitting the same presentation and can be found at the same locations as walleyes, however preferring a faster retrieve. You’ll know when you’re in a school of whites when you are experiencing hits to the lure but not getting a hook-up. Whites love to slap at baits, when this occurs, speed things up to trigger the strike! Spotted bass have also moved deeper and are taking baits fished near the bottom of main lake structure. This year’s sharp decline in both threadfin and gizzard shad has put more pressure on crawfish as a food source. Consequently, expect spotted, largemouth and smallmouth bass to be near bottom foraging for crayfish. Crappies can be found over brush piles at 25 to 35 foot depths as well as relating to main lake structure. Catfish continue to hit well on trotlines set in creek arms and main lake cuts.
