Bull Shoals Lake

Bull Shoals is the last lake in the White River chain of lakes, located in southwest Missouri and north Arkansas. It’s known for its sprawling, clear waters, shear bluff banks and lack of development along its shores. Walleye and now stripers are the species most anglers go after, but its smallmouth and largemouth bass, as well as whites and crappie are in abundance, too. The lake holds several state record fish including walleye, striper and yellow perch.

Worley’s Bull Shoals fishing report, April 11

Posted by Phil Lilley on April 12th, 2013

I Have fished in the Jimmie, Sister, Mountain, Tremble & Buck Creek areas in the past week with some days being very good and some not so much. The afternoon & nights seem to be better for walleyes on stick baits while the white & black bass are biting throughout the daytime on several baits and techniques.

Worley’s Bull Shoals fishing report, March 22

Posted by Phil Lilley on March 22nd, 2013

Had a full day trip for bass in the Buck creek area with Scott & Bill from St. Louis. We started the morning out in Tremble creek jerkin’ stickbaits on a dead calm lake till about 9:30 AM with no bites and hoping the wind would blow a little and help the bite pick up. It did, up to about 30 mph+ so we put out 2 drift socks got out the Alabama rigs. Some banks we were still traveling too fast to really fish them but we managed to catch some pretty decent size bass of all 3 of the blacks. No walleyes & no whites, while we were tucked in a cove eating lunch we caught a nice keeper smallmouth on a minnow. We ended up with 7 good keepers.
