Took out these 2 this morning and was on the water at daylight and went to my 1st spot a flat point that runs all the way out to the channel. Usually this time of year catch lots of bass and walleye, bluegill and occasional catfish. Fished it from 15 ft all the way out to 40 ft drop and caught 1 bluegill. Conditions were dead calm bright blue bird skies that's great for golf but no so much for fishing!
After about a hour and 15 minutes we picked up and moved to a shaded area and proceeded to catch kentucky bass in about 25 ft drop shooting with crawlers. It lasted until all the big boats and skiers came out and it was time to go.They caught a number of kentucky bass with a couple of doubles and a good time was had by all.
A few other trips earlier in the week produced well all over different areas on Table Rock in about 25 ft that's the magic depth right now😊
