Made it down to the lake Friday the 24th at around 4 in the afternoon and tried to find some fish in trees with little success; only catching a few largemouth and spots. Did land a few keepers all on the drop shot.
Made it out early Saturday morning and saw a ton of schoolers till the sun burned the cloud cover off around 9 a.m. caught a nice largemouth on a jig and quite a few brown bass and spots. Found a school of very nice fish that I just couldn't manage to hook up on when they would come up. Had a pig of a smallmouth knock a whopper plopper about 2 feet out of the water when they were schooling. Overall caught almost all of them on a drop shot anywhere from about 28-40 feet. Evening bite was not as strong but it was the same deal with the drop shot on deep gravel.
Sunday morning was my best morning. Caught a nice smallie and some good kentuckys too. Same deal though, drop shot in 30-40 feet. Darker colors worked best for me the whole time. The purple/brown strike king dream shot was my weapon of choice. Still my favorite lake in the state. I'll be back as soon as I can get away from school again. I was elected president of the Mizzou Bass Fishing team so if any of you would like to support us we would obviously appreciate it. Tight lines, Dave Goddard.
