Well me and the wife are going to broken bow for the first time 10-5 to 10-8 I was wonder what to use / try . I have never been there and I would love some tips. I dont want you spot, just what is going on.
Thanks for the help

Bring your Ned rig.

I only been there once and use guide Bryce Archer (870) 582-4561. Well worth it for at least the first day, if you don't know lake as there are a lot of islands above & below water level. He allowed us to carry a handheld GPS so we would at least have a trail to follow on our own. We found fish on both top waters and later with soft plastics over deep wooded points. It was October when we went and we are planning a return trip toward the end of October. Good luck

There used to be a guy named large okie or something like that , is a guide on the lake and rents cabins also.

If you get a cloudy and / or drizzly day that time of year, work rock ledge type banks with a split shot senko rig and make longer casts and hang on. They will move up in three or four feet on that type of day and its a blast. Otherwise, I would fish timber or rocky points with a shakeyhead

Bass fishing is extremely tough right now. Crappie bite has been decent.You can catch a few on topwater or squarebills early on points on east side. There are some schoolers in by the marina. Still bad tough.

Thanks for the info. I have gps on the boat should we get a mapping card for that lake? If so any idea which one? I have a garmin.
thanks again

Contact Largemouthokie on here, he lives there, has cabins, and he fishes it a lot, if you can't find him holler and I will get you his number.

There are LOTS of incredible log cabins for rent on the west side.
