Welcome to the site, UD. Looks like you got the hang of posting and creating new threads!
Never fished Bull Shoals but you should hear from some who have.
Just keep doing what you're doing....reading threads and learning what you can. For historical information specific to Bull Shoals, I would use the search tool in the upper right area to "Search Forum" and put in "Shoals" for the search term. Should get some hits with that.
And they'd probably be more relevant than if you searched for "Bull S"!! Liable to return every post ever! And anything ever posted by Keeferfish!
