Bull Shoals Lake February 20th 2022 Early PreSpawn

Bull Shoals Lake in Arkansas is one of the most pristine lakes in the country. Bull Shoals is full of Largemouth, Spotted and Smallmouth bass with a Walleye mixed in for fine table fare. In this prespawn February trip with Del Colvin we split our day between deep and shallow fish. We targeted deep fish using Garmin LiveScope, Rapala Ice Jig and a Damiki Rig. The shallow fish were caught on a Storm Wiggle Wart, SPRO RK Crawler 55 and jigs by Cumberland Pro Lures and Jewell.

That's right!

[@jerryg957]

Thanks for posting, like your couch co-pilot .......

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

LOL That's my buddy Finley. She's definitely a lap dog.

[@jameshusmann1947]

I have fished several tournaments on Bull Shoals. Awesome lake. Not a lot of boat traffic

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

It's a special place for sure. Had a great burger at 178 bowling alley too.

[@chadlambert3186]

Great lake

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

YES

[@134rwa]

That is some deep-deep fishing there, I'm talking "Lake Erie Smallmouth Deep" fishing haha. You got them up shallow too, that's a wide range of water to fish, thank God for electronics!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Ya it was anywhere from 120 feet to 2 feet. Cool lake.

[@roddybieber7031]

Great video. I’m fishing there for the first time the end of March, with Del. Hoping the prespawn is in full swing. Good information.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Awesome. You will have a blast!

[@dariusking2927]

Great show l have fish all over the place but never there l need to give it a try 🎣🎣👍👍

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

You'll love it. LiveScope paradise.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Larry.

[@Kellaramma64]

Great content as usual

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Appreciate it.

[@danielt3425]

Look like a really fun day on the water. Just from watching you fish I think you would do well switching to a boater from CO.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

It was a blast. Del is awesome. Someday I'll make that jump.

[@FASHIONEDbyFINESSE]

I think Del was sandbagging lol. Those places you guys fished were all winter spots, not staging areas or feeding flats.. Anyway y'all had a fair day Thanks for sharing! Ready for part 2! Maybe I'll see some of those staging areas and feeding flats in the next video.😉.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Del wasn't going to take me to the juice on the first date😂. Day 2 will drop Friday.

[@codydulmes804]

KZbin really needs to come out with a love it icon to smash on not just a thumbs up! Enjoyed this video man🤘! I will be waiting for part 2!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

LOL Ya that would be cool. Day 2 will drop Friday.

[@davehalm7362]

What a trip 👍 Plus the bonus walleye sammich 😄

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Oh ya. Del took that sucker home.

[@xenx1688]

Del is the man. I’ve fished with him many times.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Cool. He knows his stuff.

[@gar58]

Good video bro. 👍🏼

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks DJ.

[@bassinmike3019]

Keep up the good work Gabe. Looks liked you where fishing with classy individual, makes the day alot better.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Mike. Del was a blast to fish with.

[@dennisd6180]

Great intro to video, tunes and all you got your stuff together. Travel guide too. Hope u get into small mouth in part 2. Keep it coming.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Dennis. Part 2 will drop Friday and there may be a smallmouth or two.

[@billyhaney5002]

Great trip, crazy fishing in that deep of water. Congratulations on how far you have come since your first vid on Duck Creek ,it only going to get better.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Bill. Ya those fish get DEEEEEP

[@Winkiedoodles]

Very good vid of your February Bull Shoals adventure Gabe. Grest bass and even a whopper Walleye. Even though we lived in Springfield for 16 years I never fished it but opted for the closer triad: P,S,TR Pomme, Stockton and Table Rock simply for time and expenses. Spoons, Grubs and those "Ice Picks" jigging Rapala lures were good on TR but active fish seemed to be in 40ft or less even though lots of fish were seen way down in the 100 ft + range. You did well to get to fish although it was windy. I think the weather conditions in SW Missouri and Northern Arkansas got pretty bad this past week. We got the cold (14 here this morning) and some snow out of that storm. Long range 2 week forecast looks much better so my thoughts are focusing on early spring cold water bass. Best wishes, Don

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

It's finally warming up Don. I'd say Bull Shoals is similar to Table Rock just not as many trees and docks.

[@woodbutcher5794]

Nice THM, now I kno why we didn’t have a live stream on Monday

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks.

[@tommiks5649]

Another great fishing adventure. Haven't fished that lake in ages. It's where I learned to degass a Bass. And you can catch them on a buzzbait too in the fall.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

It was fun Tom. I'm going back.

[@tommiks5649]

I'd love to go back if the bones woul agee. BEAUTIFUL LAKE and so many ways to fish it abd the walleyes are some nuurishment.. They eat warts.and so do thr bass.you wont be disapointed especislly wirh Del for a guide.

[@dariusking2927]

You should have used one of them swing head with a Rage Bug or Menace grub 🎣🎣👍👍

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Next time I will. I paln on using one on Kentucky Lake this weekend.

[@dariusking2927]

@@TheTinHorseMonty you are fishing Kentucky lake this weekend. The lakes are trashed chocolate milk tons of debris l went Monday and Tuesday 2 fish you must be in the BFL l hope it gets better for you. Got my fish on that big blade spinnerbait l sent you good luck buddy I’m out of town this weekend 😂😂😂

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

@@dariusking2927 Ya I'll be there and I heard it was tough too. Thanks for the heads up and enjoy your trip

Dels always on em!

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Ya he showed me some sneaky stuff.

[@silverwater5338]

Sir you have some great vids, keep it up. What boat ramp did you launch from in this video?

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Silver. Really appreciate it. Bull Shoals Boat Dock.

[@andyleonard7388]

Is that a Croc-O Gator hat you have on, its not on their website ?

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

It is a Croc O Gator hat. It's probably an old one. I think they are working on some new merch.

[@jeffpeterson8846]

Great content! Would love to come fish for walleye some day at that lake! What time of the year would be best?

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Jeff. Del said the last 2 weeks in March are good. That's when they spawn. Also, June is good for bottom bouncing.

[@willyoufishwithme1532]

I’m sure it’s great 12 months out of the year. I haven’t figured them out from October through January though. My favorite time is the dog days of summer when the livewell is too hot to keep them fresh!

[@ClintLongFishing]

Really enjoy your videos! Keep up the great content. The only way I can see them really improve would be audio quality! You do a great job conversing with whomever you fish with, just can't always make out the conversation clearly.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

Thanks Clint. I agree on the audio. It's hard to capture both voices on one mic. I appreciate the feedback and will work on that.

[@willyoufishwithme1532]

We have played around with the Rode wireless go2. You need the media mod for your go pro (which has a greatly improved directional mic on its own). Plug the transmitter in and two wireless mics talk to it and record on the left and right audio channels. We just started posting videos (and were on bull at the same time you were I think). We haven’t posted one using that mic setup yet but will soon. We short some with it and they are great at cutting out wind noise and picking up both voices. Only downside is 5 hour battery life. Great video. Del has a lot of wisdom. Catching those deep fish on bull is a lot of fun.

[@TheTinHorseMonty]

@@willyoufishwithme1532 Thanks. I'll look into that. Looking forward to the video.

[@mikewallis8999]

Since you mentioned Sasquatch is there a giveaway ? Ha👍🏻🎣
