Not everybody’s catching them

James Overstreet and I have left Bull Shoals Lake, but not without nabbing another tidbit of news as we loaded the boat in Lead Hill Park. A local tournament was winding up as we left and we overheard a few anglers comparing notes. For them, bass fishing was tough on Bull Shoals Saturday morning. Four teams reported not having a fish.

Side by side battle

Edwin Evers and Brandon Palaniuk started within shouting distance of each other.

Searching for a five-pounder

"We're a greedy bunch," Britt Myers said. "In the morning, we're like just give me 14 (pounds). Then we get that and we want 15."

Myers is wound up

Britt Myers has the bass almost as fired up as he is.

Britt is having a Blast

Britt Myers said he might have had his best fishing day of his life yesterday.

Lowen is reeling them in

"It's been a long time since I've been on a lake where you got this many bites," said Bill Lowen, who has rounded off the bill on his square-billed crankbait while working his way down a rocky bank.

On the lookout for anglers

We've been searching for anglers and cell phone service.

Herren pulls out shaky head

Matt Herren is somewhat concerned about the lack of bites this morning. He has moved into another creek arm on the upper end of Bull Shoals Lake where the water has a little more color in it.
