Memorial Day weekend is coming up, and it will be a busy one
with lots of pleasure boaters and fishermen out to kick off the
summer season. Have a safe and enjoyable holiday.
Crappie fishing is still the same as it has been for the
last couple of weeks. Tons of small fish are being caught
and not as many big ones. The few opinions of this past
Monday being a breakout day for the big ones didn't pan out.
A lot of small crappie continue to be caught near the banks.
Bigger ones along the banks are less frequent, they are still
hanging back over deeper water. If you're not having any
luck near the banks, move away from the bank and fish shallow,
anywhere from 18 inches to 4 feet. Move on to a different
bank or cove if need be. A limit ofgood size crappie can
be had with patience and keeping on the move. Find good
rocky banks, log jams and pockets along the banks with cover.
Minnows and jigs, along with white or pink crappie nibbles.
Expect to go through a lot of minnows.
Bass fishing has been very good. A wide variety
of baits have been used to bring in fish, spinnerbaits, crankbaits
and plastics. The more productive areas have been primary
and secondary points off of the main lake.
Cat Fishing continues to be very good. Several large flatheads
have been caught on trotlines or jugs using perch for bait.
Channel cats continue to provide bank fishermen with fun.
The White Bass fishing has been good. They have
been found around main lake submerged humps or long shallow points.
Silver rattle traps or silver spoons.
Happy fishing and good eating, or releasing!!

Creek - The fishing here on Truman is picking up
nicely now. The whites and hybrids are really starting to come
in and the crappie are on the summer pattern big time. Bass fishing
is good and the guys from St. Louis are tearing the catfish up.
The weather is great and the COE. is running water so this weekend
should remain good.
LAKE LEVEL:
707.61
WATER TEMP: 70deg.
WATER CLARITY: Osage is a heavy stain. Both Tebo's are clear
along with the Pommies. Grand is lightly
stained.
Bass: The bass fishing on Truman remains good. Last
night in the Hawg Fights it took 14.44 lbs. to win. Clint Rayburn
and Jack Hocket took the honors. These fish came on lizards off
the Osage. 2nd went to Emil Tally and Jim Lehares with 12.82
lbs. and big fish of 5.67. These fish were out of Big Tebo caught
on jigs. 3rd went to Doug and Ozzie Wallace with 7.81lbs. caught
in Big Tebo on jigs. There are a couple of good patterns going
right now. Flat main lake points are working. 2' to 4' of water
fished with a top water will work. Bluff points are also working
when fished with a jig in 4' to 8' of water. Lizards will also
work in these areas. Colors are green pumpkin to black and blue.
CRAPPIE: The crappie are well into the summer pattern.
15' to 17' of water on the outside tree rows closest to the channel
is your best bet. Fish minnows down about 8'. The secret is to
keep moving. Cedars and hedge trees have been producing the best.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: This week we have seen a lot of
big hybrids. Jerry Coose has had several in the 10 to 12lb. range
but I heard that Ed Clayton got his dollar so Ed must be on really
big fish. There were 2 fish brought in over 14 this week also.
Steve Blake has been doing real good on the whites along with
Dan Dunek. These fish are working the KK Island area. The hybrids
are doing well in the G-4 area. Sassy shad with a 3/4 oz head
is the top producing bait. Fish the 15' to 20' range off the
ends of the under water points and the humps. Chartreuse is the
top color.
CATFISH: Trot lines are the name of the game right now.
Floating lines baited with leeches in about 3' of water are working
well. Set stages at about a foot. Fish next to ditches or shallow
creek channels.
If you are coming to the lakes area this weekend please drive
carefully on and off the water. That's it for this week from

Creek - And the wind blew. It seems that we are having
March weather this week. There is supposed to be rain moving
in tonight so maybe it will die down. The lake is on a slow rise
from the rain last week and the COE is running water everyday.
The hybrid fishing is picking up nicely with some good sized
fish coming in. The lake is in real good shape color wise. Form
last week to this week the water has cleared considerably. All
in all the fishing is good, now if the weather would straighten
out.
LAKE LEVEL: 708.21
WATER TEMP: 65 deg.
WATER CLARITY: Clear to lightly stained.
BASS: According to Chuck Strohman the bass fishing is pretty
easy right now, but what does Chuck know. He won a tourn. Sunday
and he and Jeff Rehmar won the Hawg fights last night. They weighed
7.75 lbs. last night taking their fish on crank baits out of
the wind blown nitches. 2 nd. went to Doug and Ozzie Wallace
who are starting the summer pattern with jigs. Third and big
bass went to Kenny Mason and Randy James. Big bass was 4.28 lbs.
The water is up a little but the fish are still holding on the
original banks. 3' to 5' of water with lizards and brush hogs
in the pockets is a good bet. The are still a lot of bass that
have not spawned yet. There is a little top water bite starting
on the flats in the coves as long as there is shad.
CRAPPIE: The crappie have pretty well finished spawning
and are doing well on the summer pattern. The outside tree rows
in 12' to 15' around the cedars and hedge trees seems to be working
the best. Fish are coming on minnows at about 8'. The big thing
is to keep moving tree to tree. Right now you will catch one
good fish off a tree.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: This week we have seen a lot of
nice hybrids come in. Jerry Coose has had several in the 8lb.
range this week. Saw one 12 lb. fish that Steve Blake brought
in. Sassy shad with a 3/4 oz. head is working the best. O-3 seems
to be the hot spot on our end of the lake right now. Watch for
surfacing fish. Dan Dunek had some real nice whites last weekend
in the Osage so these fish are starting all over the lake.
CATFISH: Catfishing should really take off this
week with the water rising. Floating trot lines baited with leeches
along the edge of ditches should produce plenty of channels.
Jugs are still working on the flats. 15' of water with stages
set at 10' baited with cut shad should be the ticket.
That's it for this week from Sterett Creek Marina

Creek - For a change the weather and the fishing have
both been good for about a week now. As they say all good things
must come to an end and I think the crappie are coming to the
end of their spawn. We have had people catching fish on the summer
pattern along with fish right on the bank. Along with that its
May 10 so that means that the whites and hybrids are starting.
Yesterday guide Steve Blake came in with a hole bunch of whites
and hybrids so they are on schedule. They aren't all over the
lake yet but it won't take long. The bass fishing remains pretty
good so all and all we have a good week of fishing to look forward
to.
LAKE LEVEL: 706.49
WATER TEMP: 63 deg.
WATER CLARITY: Stained
BASS: The lizard bite is the strongest bite we have right
now. Watermelon with red fleck and PBJ are the two top colors
going. Fish are holding in 1' to 3' of water. From the number
of beds I saw last night I would say that the bass spawn is going
strong. From the results of the Hawg Fights last night it's pretty
obvious that the bite is good. It was the Rayburn and Hocket
show for the second week in a row. Clint and Jack weighed in
10.30 lbs with the big fish of 2.73 lbs. 2nd was Marty Watson
and Buck Blackaby. Third was Ernie Cox and Russell Beck. The
jig bit has slowed down but I have had a few reports that the
worm bite has started. There are quite a few fish hanging on
the secondary points of the coves, it really helps to have deep
water close by. I haven't heard of any top water fish yet but
they have to be close with the number of shad we are seeing on
top.
CRAPPIE: As I said earlier I think the crappie are starting
to finish their spawn. There are still fish on the banks but
the numbers are getting smaller. You might want to start looking
at the edge of the flats in 20' of water in the trees fishing
minnows about 7' deep. The more people I talk to this morning
the more I am hearing summer pattern.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: The Osage bite has started. The
Berry Bend area seems to be the best so far. G 4 has some fish
showing up also. Jigging spoons in 15' of water off the humps
seems to be the best baits for whites. Trolling deep running
crank baits and 3/4 oz. heads with 4" shad bodies is the
way to pick up hybrids. Some fish have been caught surfacing
but they aren't staying up long.
CATFISH: Jugs are still working on the flats. Cut shad
is the best bait when fished 10' to 12'. We are starting to see
more channels coming in now. Trot lines should start real soon
with leeches.
That's it for this week from Sterett Creek Marina

Fork Resort - This weeks report. Crappie fishing should
heat up very soon. Later
Lake Level : 606.13 - Normal Lake Level : 606 -
Water Condition: Dingy - Surface Water Temp: 56 - 62
For all you Mexicans out there, or for those folks
that just like a good excuse to drink a margarita, Happy Cinco
de Mayo.
Crappie fishing has been very tough for
most fishermen, however that should change with this warm weather
we're now getting. The water temp should warm up to where it
needs to be for the crappie to start "gettin' on the banks".
By all accounts the crappie have not started spawning yet, and
this should give them a big push in that direction. As of yesterday,
we started getting better reports of crappie being caught, mostly
small ones, but hopefully that will change very soon. The better
reports have them in the vicinity of spawning areas, out in coves
still scattered at various depths. With the crappie wanting to
spawn, it's probably a good bet to start near the banks. Find
the combination of the warmest and clearest water, and work the
rocky banks, log jams and pockets along the banks with cover.
If no luck near the banks, work your way out, or move on to a
different bank or cove. Minnows and white or pink jigs or Road
Runner type lures, along with white or pink crappie nibbles.
Bass fishing continues to be good. Still
pretty much as last weeks report, rocky wind blown points have
produced some good action using white/chartreuse spinnerbaits,
or crankbaits.
Cat Fishing has been very good. Mark Twain
Lake is once again proving itself to be a very good place to
hook into those whiskered fish. Several nice flatheads and blues
have been brought in using trotlines or jugs, with perch being
the bait of choice. Channel cats are still fun to catch, using
nightcrawlers, shad sides or stink bait.
We haven't heard anything about White Bass
lately.
Check out the latest pictures, from the 2.4 lb.
crappie to the 55 lb. flathead.
As of last Sunday morel mushrooms were still
being found.
Happy fishing and good eating, or releasing!!

May 4, 2005 - Question
on Lake of the Ozarks - I will be going over to Lake
of the Ozarks and I am looking for some good areas of the lake
to do some bass or crappie fishing later this month......I am
staying in Sunrise Beach......anyone have any advice or areas
I should concentrate on? Anyone know where I could rent a bass
boat that will not cost me an arm and a leg?
Thanks,

Creek - After two big tournaments out last weekend and
a lot of cold weather the lake is starting to get back to normal.
The water temp is still running below the normal and has slowed
some of the fishing down. The weatherman is calling for temps.
in the mid 70's for the rest of the week and the lows in the
mid 40's so we should gain back the water temp. that we lost
over the last couple of weeks. Maybe the crappie will come back
in and finish spawning. Have had a couple of reports that some
have started coming up already.
LAKE LEVEL: 706.60
WATER TEMP: 58 deg.
WATER CLARITY: Stained
BASS: Even after two big tournaments out last weekend
and all the cold weather the bass fishing remains pretty good.
In the Concord Village Lions Club tourn. on Saturday the winning
stringer was a little over 17lbs. The story I was told was the
fish were caught in the Tally Bend area on spinner baits up shallow
around lay downs. Last night in the Hawg Fights it took 17lbs
to win. Clint Rayburn and Jack Hockett had the winning stringer
and had big bass weighing 3.71lbs. Second went to Steve Blake
and Billy Fisher with 7.87lbs. The jig bite has slowed a little
this week but the lizard bite took over. Watermelon red seems
to be the best color with PBJ right behind it. Fish seem to be
holding in 2' to 6' of water on the steeper banks. Banks that
change from chunk rock to dirt or pea gravel are the best areas
right now. Look for lay downs.
CRAPPIE: The crappie fishing should improve this week
with the warm up we have coming in. Marty Zych had fish yesterday
out of the bare pockets in 2' to 4' of water on jigs. This is
a lot better than the 15' to 20' of water they have been holding
in after the cold front. In our area we still have a lot of fish
that haven't spawned so this should be a good weekend. I will
update the report when they hit the banks again.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: There has been a few whites caught
off the humps in the Berry Bend area trolling. Wiggle warts in
chrome have been the best baits. I would also check the KK Island
area, these fish should start moving to this area real soon.
CATFISH: We saw some nice catfish this week. We weighed
a 16lb. and a 12lb. blue yesterday. These came off jugs with
leeches set about 10'. The edge of the flats next to deep water
seems to work the best.
That's it for this week from Sterett Creek Marina

Creek - I guess the old adage if you don't like the weather
in MO. hang around it will change, and boy did it change. From
having fish spawning in 3' to 4' of water one day to pushing
them back to 15' to 20' the next day is a pretty drastic change.
The only good report I had was there was some white bass being
caught in the Berry Bend area. Lets hope the weather will get
back to normal and get back to some good fishing.
LAKE LEVEL: 707.40
WATER TEMP: 60 deg.
WATER CLARITY: Stained.
BASS: Even with the cold front and the strong winds the bass
fishing remains good on Truman. This weeks HAWG FIGHTS took 9.55
lbs. to win. Jamie Ulbrich and his daughter Rachel took the honors.They
also had big bass weighing 3.09 lbs. 2nd. went to Doug and Ozzie
Wallace. Jig and frog and baby brush hogs seem to be working
the best. Steeper banks in 4' to 6' of water using black and
blue or watermelon red seems to be the right combination. Nitches
in the coves with deep water close by is the place to look.
CRAPPIE: The weather has really effected these fish. Last
week we had bedding fish all over, now they are back to 15' to
20' of water with a case of lock jaw. We need about 3 days of
good warm weather to bring them back up shallow. Fish the steeper
banks and back out to the timber. Now I would switch from jigs
to minnows until they start to move up again. We still have a
lot of fish waiting to spawn.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: There were some whites caught in
the Berry Bend area last week. Most of these fish were caught
trolling. If the weather will straighten out we should see these
fish moving to the KK Island area real soon.
CATFISH: Jugs are still the best. 10' in the flats with
leeches. Haven't heard anything on rod and reel fish yet.
I will do an updated report as soon as the crappie start moving
back up or the white bass get going. So that's it for this week

Creek - Finally a fishing report everyone will like.
The only thing that's slow on Truman right now is the white bass
and hybrid bite. Crappie are on the beds and the black bass bite
is really good. The weather has been treating us good with the
exception that it is a little dry. The lake is a little stained
but the fish don't seem to mind. So if everything keeps going
it should be an awesome spring.
LAKE LEVEL:
707.86
WATER TEMP: 64
deg.
WATER CLARITY: Stained.
BASS: The bass fishing here on Truman is about as good
as it gets. Last night in the Hawg Fights it took 14.21 lbs.
of fish. Our old buddies Doug and Ozzie Wallace won it and also
had big bass at 5.78 lbs. 2 nd. was Jim Lehares and Steve Blake
with 8.28 lbs. 3 rd. was Howard Love and john Polliff with 7.69.
These are some really good weights for fishing 3 hours and in
a 20 mph. wind. The jig and frog is still the top producer with
the lizard and brush hog right behind it. Best colors are black
and blue and watermelon red, don't forget PP&J. Half way
back in the creeks on the points on the nitches seem to be holding
fish. 3' to 6' of water on the steeper banks is the best of the
best.
CRAPPIE: The crappie are on the beds now. You need to
fish in 3' to 4' of water. Remember the lake is up 2' so this
will put the fish in a little deeper water. Jig and bobber and
road runners are the best baits. Color doesn't really seem to
matter. Look for pea gravel banks in the creeks. Set the bobber
about a foot deep. Both Big and Little Tebo are producing good
fish. The spawn is just starting so we should have a couple weeks
of really good crappie fishing.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: No report.
CATFISH: Jugs on the flats are still doing good. Set stages
about 10' with cut shad. I look for the trot line bite to start
any time around here with the water temps. we have. Floating
lines set in 3' of water with stages set about a foot next to
ditches should get going real quick.
That's it for this week from Sterett Creek Marina

The Corp of Engineers annual day use passes are now
available, stop by or contact a Corp of Engineers office for
this years pass.
There should be at least one courtesy walkway in place at each
of the boat ramps that normally have them. We got a fair
amount of rain yesterday, enough to send the lake up a foot from
yesterdays level. The water temps have been around 50 degrees
in most of the main lake, while the upper reaches have been reached
63 degrees. The warmer water is where the best action has
been taking place.
The Crappie reports, for the most part, have been spotty,
however more fishermen have reported catching good numbers of
crappie. Most have been on the small side, but then again
more reports of good size crappie are coming in. The crappie
are moving closer to shore, with several being caught at 2 to
5 feet. The clearer water the better, and in places you
would normally fish during the spawn. The spawn is probably
still a couple of weeks away. The bite has been very lite,
keep a finger on your line and feel for a very lite tap.
Occasionally raise the line and feel for resistance, or watch
your line for any subtle changes, such as going slack.
The South Fork, Middle Fork and Elk Fork have produced good catches.
As for bait, minnows or jigs tipped with minnows. Crappie
nibbles are very much worth considering. Black/Chartreuse
or Blue/White tube jigs have been the most popular color combos.
As always, be patient and don't give up too soon, however move
on if the crappie are not cooperating within a reasonable amount
of time.
Bass fishing has gotten better. Shallow water up
the forks has been productive, using gold blade spinnerbaits
in shallow water about 1- 4 feet deep around timber and laydowns.
On a good day the bite has been described as an "all day
bite". The warmer the water, the better.
Cat Fishing has been good. Several flatheads in
the 30 to 55 lb. range have been caught on jugs and trotlines.
The South Fork and Middle Fork have been productive, using gold
fish or perch. Channel cats have been biting on nightcrawlers
and shad sides. The rivers and creeks are flowing from
the recent rain, and will probably make the catfishing better.
A fat nightcrawler or a juicy chunk of shad tossed near the mouths
of creeks should produce some cats. Take advantage of the
flowing water. Ernie and David are pictured with a couple
of the flatheads.
The White Bass have been on the move lately. Some
good catches of white bass have been reported. Go way up
the rivers and look for warmer water along rock shelves.
Jeff and Tom enjoyed hooking into the white bass.
Worth mentioning, a few incidental catches of bluegill have been
reported, and morel mushrooms should be popping up soon.
Happy fishing and good eating, or releasing!!

Rock Lake - Submitted by Pete Wenner's Professional Guide Service - LAKE
LEVEL 912.57 NORMAL 915
WATER TEMP 56-60
The fishing the past few weeks has been tough for
the most part. It's been hard to pattern anything because of
the weather changes, one front after another. We seem to be about
two weeks behind as far as water temperature and spawn. Fish
are starting to bed in some areas of the lake now where water
temps are ranging from 56 to mid 60's in some areas in the afternoon.
The upper rivers, King's White & James you
can catch lots of numbers, mostly small buck bass moving up on
4"worms, French Fry's, 3"-4" grubs on main lake
and secondary points, split shot, Mo-Jo rigs or Carolina rigs
working best. Fish the smoke or white, or watermelon 3"-5"
grubs on 1/8 or 1/4 oz jig heads. Watermelon & green pumpkin
worms are working good, also Chompers in the same colors. Fish
these worms and grubs in 3'-15', most of the fish have been on
bottom or close. On windy days try slow rolling a 3/8 oz. &
1/2 oz. spinnerbait from the mouths of the creeks to the very
backs, fishing in 2'-10'. Crankbaits in crawdad patterns (browns
& greens) Wigglewarts, Bandit 200's, Bombers will also work.
I have also started to catch some on Senko's in the creeks as
well.
With the water temps rising and the fish moving
up to spawn, all sorts of lures will catch fish, you just have
to be patient and give your favorite lure time. The Dam area,
Kimberling City, Baxter & Campbell Point areas~the patterns
will also work in these areas, but the mosson bottom can be a
problem while split shotting, Carolina rigging, or any bottom
baits fished. Most of the moss seems to be from the bank out
to about 8', and not all areas have it. Try to position your
boat so you can fish the outside edge of the moss. Smallmouths
are starting to turn on in the clearer water, they can be caught
on grubs and 4" worms split shot or on slider head rigs.
Good Luck!!

BASS: We had our season opener of the Sterett Creek Hawg
Fights last night. We went out at 5:30 pm. and came in at 8:15
pm. Not a lot of time to fish but there were a lot of fish caught.
The winners were Roger Phil and John Pender with 11.68 lbs. Second
went to Bill and Mike Ward with 5.03 lbs which was also the big
fish. 3rd went to Doug and Ozzie Wallace with 4.49 lbs. Most
of the fish were caught on jigs and spinner baits. Jim and I
had 13 fish but only 2 keepers. Secondary points 1/2 to 3/4 of
the way back in the creeks is the place to look. 1' to 4' is
where we found all our fish. All the fish were holding on wood.
Pumpkin jigs and black and blue are the best colors. There were
also some fish caught on crankbaits chrome and fire tiger the
top two colors.
CRAPPIE: I have had a few reports of crappie up shallow
way up the lake. The Sparrowfoot area on the Grand and Wrights
Creek and Happy Hollow up the Osage are holding a few shallow
fish. This is the hardest time of the year to predict what the
fish are going to do because of the weather. A cold front will
back these fish off for a couple of days. Like I said earlier
the weather is supposed to get nice starting tomorrow so things
should start happening this week.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: No report.
CATFISH: Jugs are still the best of the best. 9' to12'
on the flats using cut shad and little smokies. Haven't seen
any real big fish this week but the fry pan fish are doing good.

There should be at least one courtesy walkway in place at each
of the boat ramps that normally have them. Despite some
rain yesterday, it wasn't enough to get the rivers excited.
The water temps have been far ranging this past week, however
the recent warm weather has given the water a much needed boost
in temperatures. Several reports had the main lake temp
at about 45 degrees, while the upper reaches were as warm as
60.
Some fishermen have experienced boat problems at the ramp.
Prior to your first outing this year, make sure you have everything
checked out and in good working condition.
The crappie reports have still been spotty, however it is on
the verge of getting better. Last weekend most fishermen
struggled to find them, while some caught several small ones.
The fishermen that caught crappie reported catching anywhere
from 40 to 100. The most reported size is about 8 inches,
with enough 9 to 10 inch crappie to make a meal. Monday
and tuesday we had some better reports, which gives reason to
believe the crappie fishing is starting to heat up. The
crappie are still scattered, with some being caught at 5 feet
deep, while others are finding them along bluffs about 12 feet
deep. The bite has been very lite, keep a finger on your
line and feel for a very lite tap. Occasionally raise the
line and feel for resistance, or watch your line for any subtle
changes, such as going slack. With the cold water temps,
the crappie have been pretty sluggish. Any branch on
the south side of the lake could prove productive, look for
banks that get good day long sunshine, with good heat gathering
objects, such as large trees and rocky banks. Bridge piers
gather warmth and could be worth trying. As for bait, minnows
or jigs tipped with minnows. Crappie nibbles are very helpful.
Black/Chartreuse or Blue/White tube jigs have been the most popular
color combos. As always, be patient and don't give up too
soon, however move on if the crappie are not cooperating within
a reasonable amount of time.
Follow this link to an excellent article about spring time crappie
fishing on Twain.
Bass fishing has been tough. The few reports have not been
encouraging yet, however the season is young and the water temps
are still cool.
We haven't heard much from cat fishermen this week. The
water flow into the lake is low. The warm, sunny days,
along with the warm winds will rapidly heat shallow areas of
a lake, which are warmer than the nearby deeper waters.
Look for wind blown shallow banks, the warmer water and food
gathers there. Catfish love these conditions, moving out
of the deeper, colder areas of the lake to feed themselves.
If you don't have any bites for about 30 minutes, try a different
area. Shad sides is an excellent choice under these conditions,
the smellier the better.
Happy fishing and good eating or releasing!!

April 5, 2005 - Lake Taneycomo
Question - I am going to be on vacation in July at
Lake Taneycomo. The only reports I can find are about trout.
Is that the only game fish available, and if not what is and
how should I go about finding them? Any help would be appreciated.

There should be at least one courtesy walkway in
place at each of the boat ramps that normally have them. The
wind has been downright brutal the past couple of days, enough
to keep a lot of people off the lake. The wind has been a strong
enough factor to decide what ramp to use, avoid ramps with a
strong cross wind or that are facing the wind. The good news,
the wind has been out of the south and south/west which means
the warm winds, coupled with 60+ degree weather, will help warm
up the lake that much faster. The weather reports for this weekend
are good, so get out and enjoy the lake.
The crappie reports are spotty. The usual early
season pattern favors the northern branches, some good reports
have come out of Sandy and Shell Creeks. A couple of good early
season bets on the south side of the lake, are Lick Creek/Dry
Fork and Pigeon Roost. As of late, the fishermen that have been
catching crappie have found them about 8 - 9 feet deep around
brush close to rocky banks, with good southern exposure. Any
branch on the south side of the lake could prove productive,
look for northern banks that get good day long sunshine, with
good heat gathering objects, such as large trees and rocky banks.
One fisherman this week said he did better in the South Fork
than in Sandy Creek. Bridge piers gather warmth and could be
worth trying. As for bait, minnows or jigs tipped with minnows
or crappie nibbles are best. Black/Chartreuse tube jigs have
been the most popular color combo. As always, be patient and
don't give up too soon, and keep on the move if the crappie are
not cooperating.
Bass fishing is still very slow. The few reports
have not been encouraging yet, however the season is young and
the water temps are still too cool.
We haven't heard much from cat fishermen this week,
last week they were catching them back in the South Fork. The
water flow into the lake is slowing down. However the warm, sunny
days, along with the warm winds will rapidly heat shallow areas
of a lake, which are warmer than the nearby deeper waters. Look
for wind blown shallow banks, the warmer water and food gathers

Creek - Windy is the word from Sterett Creek this week.
The only good thing about this weather is that it is warn and
with the wind it should warm the water up and get the fish going.We
are supposed to have a small cool front come thru tomorrow and
this should settle the wind down for the weekend. With the conditions
the way they are I think we will see some fish caught this weekend.
LAKE LEVEL: 707.10
WATER TEMP: 46deg.
WATER CLARITY: Stained but very fishable.
BASS: With last weekend being Easter I didn't see any tourn.
going out on the lake. Never the less the fish still bit a little.
The rogue bite is still going up on Pommie. There is a spinner
bait bite going on the Tebo arm according to Guide Steve Blake.
Slow roll spinner baits off main lake points in about 4' of water.
Steve said you need to use a big bladed bait and pull it real
slow. There is also a jig bite starting in some of the creeks
on the secondary points. these fish seem to be holding in 3'
to 8' of water. Here again you have to move the jig real slow.
This is the time of the year that the fishing will get better
every week.
CRAPPIE: There is a crappie bite starting up the rivers.
A jig set under a bobber is starting to catch fish. The Barker
Creek area up Big Tebo up to C bridge has been producing some
nice fish off the banks. The bucks are starting to go in and
look for spawning areas. If the weather holds had we get what
they say we are going to get I think this weekend we should see
some shallow fish out of Brush and Clear Creek.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: No Report.
CATFISH: This week has been tough on the cat fish guru. He
said the wind was to tough to chase jugs. Over the weekend there
was some fish caught on jugs using cut shad. Jugs set on the
flats at about 9' seemed to work the best. The big thing is to
have deep water close by.
That is it from Sterett Creek Marina for this week.

Creek - It looks like a typical Easter Week in the Ozarks,
cool, rainy and overcast. Even with the weather the bass fishing
is not to bad everything else is still waiting for the spring
warm up. There were a couple of bass tourns. out this past weekend
that had some really good weights. Our water here on Truman is
still a little cool but with a couple days of warm temps and
some sunshine things will fire right up.
LAKE LEVEL: 707.21
WATER TEMP: 45deg.
WATER CLARITY: All of the arms are stained.
BASS: As I said earlier the bass fishing has been pretty
good. There has been a good Rogue bite on the Pommie Arm. Team
Supreme went out of Sterett Creek on Sunday and Duer and Trent
brought in the winning stringer weighing 17.82lbs. Mike Friend
and Carl Shipman had big bass weighing 5.52lbs. On Saturday Bass
World Sports had a tourn. with a 15 1/2lb. winning string and
big fish over 7lbs. The best bite was the Rogue bite on the Pommie
arm in shallow water. 1' to 4' seems to be the area to work with
deeper water close by. There is also a jig bite starting on the
Tebo arm. Most of these fish are coming out of 2' to 5' of water
on main lake cuts. This fishing will do nothing but get better.
CRAPPIE: With the cold fronts that have come and gone
around here lately and the lack of water temp. the crappie fishing
is still slow. If you want to brave the cold you can catch some
fish off the brush piles on main lake. Look for piles in 20'
of water and use jigs. I haven't heard of any fish pulling back
in the creeks yet. Another week should make all the difference
in the world.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: We heard of one good hybrid this
weekend. It weighed 13 3/4lbs and was caught on a crankbait while
bass fishing. these fish are sill away's away.
CATFISH: According to our catfish guru Dick Caton the
catfishing on jugs is still good. He has had a couple over 20lbs.
this week and a few smaller fish. He said he has been using little
smokes { and he has put on a little weight must be sampling his
bait} Jugs on the flats set about 9' seems to be the best of

The water temperature is still a bit cold for the
crappie to start biting aggressively, but they are definitely
on the upswing. Some days are better than others, but the northern
branches are your best bet. Sandy and Shell creeks are a good
place to start. If you're bound and determined to fish a south
branch, you might try Lick Creek along with the Dry Fork, as
the sun usually warms them early. Any place on the south side
could prove productive if you fish by an overhanging rock or
large tree on the northern banks with lots of sunshine. If it's
not too windy, the bridge piers are always a good place to try.
If you're not familiar with the lake, you will definitely want
to spend your time in the northern coves. As for bait, minnows
or jigs tipped with minnows or crappie nibbles are best. Pink,
white and neon crappie nibbles are the most popular with neon
being the most chosen. As always, be patient and don't give up
too soon!
Follow this link to an excellent article about
spring time crappie fishing on Twain. <http://southforkresort.net/Information/Articles.htm>
Bass fishing is still very slow. Not many have
been out fishing, but the few who have dared have been disappointed.
Now if you're just out to catch fish and want some
action, you might try catfishing way back in the South Fork.
Many fishermen are catching them on rod and reel by boat and
even from shore. Shad sides.
Happy fishing and good eating!!

Pommie, light stain, very fishable. - Water Temp: 45 deg.
BASS: The bass are starting to hit jerk baits on the Pommie
arm around the cedars. Work the 8' area next to drop offs. In
our area you might try a jig on the main lake points in 6' to
12' of water on the steeper banks. If you throw a jerk bait in
this area you might want to go with a gold color. There
has been a couple of tourn> on Truman and the winning stringers
are running in the 13# area which for this time of the year is
pretty good. We have Team Supreme out this weekend so we should
have a good idea of what's going on around here.
CRAPPIE: Guide Steve Blake has been catching some nice
crappie off the brush piles on main lake out of 20' of water.
Fish are down about 12'. He has been using all jigs. With the
weather patterns we are looking at now I would say we should
have fish starting to move in the creeks in another week.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: No Report
CATFISH: Dick Caton a local fisherman has been doing good
on jugs set 9' deep on the flats using little smokies. He had
a couple fish right at 20# this week. Haven't heard of any rod

Fish are staging all over the lake, there still
doesn't seem to be one area or arm of the lake that is better
than the other. Many of the same patterns seem to be working
all over the lake, si I'm not going to break them down into areas.
Main river arms have some color (stain), crankbaits are working
better in these areas, but will also work in the clearer water
if overcast or windy. Best crankbaits seem to be Storm Wigglewarts,
& Pradco's Bombers-6A-7A, in crawdad patterns (green &
red). Finding fish on secondary points, channel swings in the
creeks, & water for rock transitions from chunk rock banks
to pea gravel banks. Some days fish are 3'-6', others like this
weekend when cold front came in, they were 8'-12'. Try some Team
Supreme jigs or Eakins jigs in brown & black.
Some fish are being caught in the areas a little
deeper, 15'-25' on football jigs-Brown/Purple & Brown /Green.
Split shot or MoJo rigged watermelon or green pumpkin Team Supreme
French Fry's. Jerkbaits fished on secondary points in 5'-8',
over 15'-25' of water are producing big fish, but the bites are
few and far between. 3"-5" Team Supreme grubs in smoke,
pearl, salt & pepper, and watermelon colors working on main
lake and secondary gravel points fished 15'-25' deep. Some days
fish are suspending over deeper water and submerged timber, and
other days they have been right on bottom. Watch for schools
of shad, if sare are suspending the bass should also be. I'm
not saying by any means that fishing is easy right now, you have
to work hard, but the rewards can be great. Fishing is just going
to keep getting better and better as the water warms and fish
move into spawn
Crappie are still biting great. I've found it best
in stained water in Long Creek & James River, I haven't been
in the King's or Upper White recently. Fish have been 3'-8' in
submerged timber in the creeks and 5'-12' deep on main river
flats. Small tubes working good, road runners and beetle spin
in a variety of colors.

Bass are in pre-spawn, staging on main lake and
secondary points. Crappie are biting like crazy this past Thursday
afternoon. We caught 28 Crappie in 2 hours, all keepers.
The Mid-James and Long Creek areas look like they
are starting to turn over. Have not been up the Upper White River
recently, all my quality bass have been on stickbaits on main
lake and secondary points close to spawning areas. Try the new
Rapala X-Rap, Smithwick Rogue, or LuckyCraft in Shad patterns,
Ghost, or Chartreuse Shad working in the clear water, Black &
Gold, Purple/Chartreuse, and Clown in the stained water such
as the mid river areas where the water visibility is 1'-3'. These
fish will bite the Jerkbait without wind, but in the clearer
water I've found I need some wind on the points to help you catch
the fish. In the colored water use crankbaits, & Storm Wigglewarts,
fish these 2'-8' deep on transition banks, chunk rock to pea
gravel in the creeks, same areas as the Jerkbaits.
Also try small Team Supreme jigs in Brown &
Black in the same areas. I haven't found bass to be suspending
off the points yet in the open water, but they should be anytime.
You can catch these fish on 3"-5" Team Supreme grubs
in Smoke, Pearl, & Watermelon and on 1/4 oz. darter heads,
swimming the bait at the depth your are marking fish on your
locator. The bottom bite, split shot, & Mo Jo rig is due
to start anytime~15'-20' on main lake and secondary gravel points.
Crappie up the rivers are on the flats in spawning areas, mostly
males, most of the females I'm catching are suspended in the
timber 2'-8- deep over 15'-20'

The latest scuttlebutt on crappie fishing; it's
slow for the most part, the lake still needs to warm up a little
more to get the crappie more active. The fishermen that have
caught some, found them on the north side of the lake in the
flats, in shallow water anywhere from 2 to 5 feet deep. Minnows,
or jigs tipped with crappie nibbles. One fisherman reportedly
found some 50 degree water and today's 70 degree temperatures
can only help. That is the usual pattern for this time of year,
the northern banks warm up the fastest from the southern sun.

Cold and Hard
It's time to be planning your outings for this
year. The rooms are already filling up fast for this spring,
if you plan on catching this year's crappie or bass spawn, or
the spring turkey hunt, you better make your reservations now.
There's been a lot of rain the past few weeks and
it has the lake going up and down like a yoyo. It is currently
dropping. The current cold spell has the lake freezing over.
The coves are iced over and most of the main lake is starting
to freeze over as well. The solunar time table charts have been
updated for this year. These charts can be used to help narrow
down the best times of the day, week or month to fish and hunt.
Some fishermen and fishing tournaments plan trips around them,
as well as hunters.
This years fishing prospects for Mark Twain Lake
as provided by the Fisheries Management Biologist.
_______________________________________________________________
Below are the prospects for Mark Twain for 2005.
As you know, fishing is dependent on a lot of factors that are
difficult to predict, but this is the assessment based on surveys
during 2004.
Largemouth Bass fishing during 2004 was fair, and
anglers can expect fishing to be similar during 2005. Based on
spring 2004 surveys, bass abundance in Mark Twain has declined
from the record levels during 2003. However, the abundance of
bass at least 15 inches long should be higher during 2005 than
it was during 2004, so anglers can expect to catch more larger
fish this year. Three of every 10 fish caught during 2005 should
exceed 15 inches long.
Crappie fishing during 2005 will also be similar
to 2004, although the abundance of small crappie has declined.
Fewer crappie in the lake during 2005 may lead to improved growth
and more larger fish by summer's end if gizzard shad forage is
adequate. Two or three of every ten crappie caught should exceed
9 inches long, and anglers should not have to filter through
as many small crappie as they did during 2004.
White Bass fishing will remain sporadic. Anglers
do best when these fish are spawning on riffles in tributary
streams in early spring, or while feeding on schooling shad or
congregating over underwater humps during the summer.
Walleye abundance remains low, although anglers
are reporting more incidental catches than during most recent
years. This may be a result of recent tributary stream stockings.
Catfish anglers can expect good fishing to continue
this year. Many flathead catfish exceeding 25 pounds are caught
each year on trot lines, bank lines, and jugs. Catfish anglers
do best in the upper portions of North Fork, Middle Fork, and
South Fork arms.
