Kimberling City Area: The fishing has remained consistent over the past week; the only change is fish have begun to move a little deeper. In the mid lake area fish continue to feed shallow on crawfish and bluegill. Jewel Spider and football jigs are still the best option when targeting these fish. Work either bait slowly along the bottom from 3’ – 15’ deep to draw strikes. White bass have begun schooling early in the day on gravel flats as well; small topwater lures have been the best offering.

Steady one unit generation this past week has made fishing very good. Sculpin colored jigs worked along the bottom have been one of the most effective baits; use an erratic retrieve to draw strikes. Drift rigs with Power Bait or Gulp Eggs continue to produce both numbers and quality, work the deep edges of the lake to be successful. Fast moving lures like Little Cleo and Buoyant spoons have slacked off a bit with lower generation, some have drawn strikes from fish holding in the deeper water around the Branson Landing.

Kimberling City Area: Water temperatures have skyrocketed over the past week; main lake temperatures have been in the mid to upper 70’s with river temps reaching the low to mid 80’s. This represents a jump of as much as 10 degree in some areas. The higher temperatures have resulted in fish moving quickly toward their summer haunts, with a lot the bulk of fish moving off the bank into deeper water. Jewel football and spider jigs have been very effective on gravel and mixed gravel and points throughout the mid lake area, look for points close to spawning locations to be best.

Generation has been more off than on this week; a boon for fly anglers but making it a little tougher on those drifting. The drift bite has still been fairly strong with numbers of fish still taking a sculpin orange jig, use a lighter weight (1/8 oz or lighter) and allow the bait to fall slowly to the bottom to draw strikes. Once on the bottom work it back with and erratic retrieve. Drifting live crawlers has been more productive than Gulp or Power Bait. Take a half a crawler, inject It with a little air to keep it off the bottom and focus on deeper areas on the channel side of the lake.

Kimberling City Area: Fish are beginning to move a little deeper over the past week. Still plenty of smaller fish in the shallows feeding on bluegill but the better quality fish have begun to move into deeper water and started to suspend after spawning. Deep crankbaits like DD22’s and DT16’s have been very productive on transitions between rock and gravel. Most of the fish are holding between eight and twelve feet deep and will strike the bait when worked slowly along the bottom. Jewel football jigs are effective on these same locations; swim the jig slowly along the bottom to draw strikes.

Generation has slacked over the past week with most of the current being run during the evening. The bite has still been strong on jigs in sculpin orange and sculpin peach, work the jig erratically close to the bottom to draw strikes. Micro jigs below an indicator have been work as well, allow the jig to drift over wood cover on the deeper side of the lake from Fall Creek through Cooper Creek. Drift rigs continue to be effective with live night crawlers out producing Gulp or Power Bait when the current is slack.

Kimberling City Area: Not a lot of changes in the mid lake over the past week. The water color has cleared some and visibility is around four feet with water temperatures holding steady in the mid to upper sixties. Tightlines UV tubes and Chompers Ultra tubes have been the most productive baits, fish either on a 3/16th oz. head in gravel pockets and points less than ten feet deep. Jewel Squirrel heads with finesse worms have been work in these same areas, concentrate around wood cover to draw strikes.

Still allot of generation over the past week, it seems two to four units have been running from noon through midnight almost every day. Sculpin orange or sculpin peach jigs have been a great option with the current, look for areas behind fallen trees and docks where eddies are created to be the best area to throw a jig. Gulp and Power Bait eggs on a drift rig has been very productive on rainbows up to 22” this past week.

Kimberling City Area: Most of the generation over the past week has been in the afternoon through overnight hours. With that in mind most fish are still relating to points in the mid lake area. The spawn is complete for the most part and the fish are beginning to move back out. Gravel points near spawning areas have been the most productive areas; Tightlines UV tubes in watermelon and green pumpkin or Chompers Ultra Tubes in green pumpkin orange have been very effective worked along the bottom from 3’ – 12’ deep.

With most of the generation taking place later in the day the morning bite has been very strong this past week. Sculpin orange and sculpin peach jigs worked erratically will draw strikes form rainbows and browns both. The spoon bite has waned a bit over the past week with limited generation, afternoon and evening hours have been better for those throwing Buoyant Spoons and Little Cleo’s. Drift rigs are working 24 / 7, Gulp or Power Bait Eggs have been the ticket, mix up your colors to be productive.
