Will try it again next week. Similiar reports from around Bucksaw on Wednesday.
Bruce where were you fishing, I don’t want you fishing spots just general area? We fished the Osage Arm, above Berry Bend Saturday morning and Clear Creek in the afternoon. We didn’t have much luck at all, we only put three fish in the live well and one of them was a white bass. We were using jigs, jigs with nibbles, and jigs with minnows. We did the best with jigs and nibbles. When we were in the Osage, we saw a large amount of bait fish and it didn’t look like anything was bothering them at all. By a “large amount” I mean there was a school every 20 feet or so and they kept coming and coming, probably for a couple hours while we moved around from tree to tree. In Clear Creek there was also several schools of bait fish, but the white bass was after them and we caught a few, but only one worth keeping.
