Do you love big bluegill?


Howdy Y’all

 Well here’s the question.

How do you work the shoreline of a lake in Arkansas that’s huge?

(Lake Norfork 22,000 surface acres and 550 miles of shoreline)

 We’ve worked 4 main areas with 8 accessible areas for walking to.

Me being disabled doesn’t help but we struggle into theses areas.

 We’ve had great success at 4 of the 8 with some action at the other 4.

With summer moving on and the spawn ending what’s a shoreline fisherman to do?

The wife and I have had fish hit in 1’ out to 8’ deep and from the shoreline to 25’ out, here lately we’ve even added cat fishing to the routine with 4 nice cats 2 flatheads and 2 channel cats with 4 lost fish due to popped line and bad net work but were getting better on the net.

So any assistance from the group would be great.

Thanks for any tips and tricks.

Yours in service

James and Kathy
