Well i did go up today and put in a Shawnee bend with zero issues. Shot docks for crappie for the first time and had what I considered to be a good day for first time crappie fishing on that lake and first time shooting ever. I brought home 9 big crappie and could have had a limit had I kept the 9-10 inchers. Caught them from right under the foam to glued to the bottom. Best luck was on main lake docks with front of docks in 25-35 fow. Water was pretty stained and black with chartreuse tail was best color. 1/16 oz head. Thanks for the reply on the ramp conditions and good luck to those that get a chance to go.

Ok great thank you just assumed you all had a lot of snow from the reports of St. Louis and Columbia. We had none here just some minor ice on the trees. Few miles down 60 in fordland had a lot of ice and some power outages. Really spotty I guess. If we head that way I’ll give a report.Really appreciate the reply

Wanting to come crappie fishing Wednesday but was concernered about launching due to snow? Any info on ramps midlake to the darn that may be cleared if any would save me an hour and a half trip from Rogersville would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Wanted to let everyone know entry is open for the event and there are free rods still available as of now. Get em before the out of towners grab em up.

Well worth the $10 I tried for days to do it on my own and failed. Although I’m lucky to even navigate this site with my computer skills.

Was also up sat and the bite was extremely light for me too. Did catch quality fish on minnows but very light bite. Liphunter find brush and drop minnow.

Did better than I did today. We had our chances but couldn’t keep them buttoned up. We caught topwater fish all day as well however only had one fish that came out of water deeper than 5 foot.

I do fish an occasional tournament and my brother fishes many. I C&R almost always but will keep a few bass here and there to eat as I’m no crappie fisherman by any stretch. I can’t really tell much difference in bass, crappie,walleye, perch as I always cut up into small pieces and give em an oil swim. I have no problem if others do the same within the laws and regulations. There are already to many laws about what I can do with my body, who am I to judge what fish someone else should keep. Just hope all that’s kept gets eaten and not paraded around in coolers to bars and neighbors then pitched out when bragging Time is over. To each there own.

All jokes aside can you really not take a pistol with you to a Corp body of water? If not I’ve been illegal many many times without ever knowing.

I talked to the winner at the dock when I weighed in the last hour and just wanted to say that he was just the kind of guy that you would hope to have win it. He was understandably a little nervous of a big fish to be coming in and beat him out but he was a great guy in my opinion. He told me that he did in fact catch it on the RC for what it’s worth and I believed him as I didn’t see him as a liar. Congrats to him on the win!

Thanks for the info went to the rock today may head to pomme next trip. Appreciate the responses.

Wanting to make the trip up from Rogersville and was curious of water clarity before I make the drive. Hoping it’s not still choc milk. Thanks in advance.

Put in at state park fished 8-3 ish. Tough for us had one keeper Kentucky fat as a hog with pincers hanging out of gullet that hit a spoon in 30 fow that was it. Talked to several others at the ramp that had tough day also. One guy had six keeps but he was the outcast. Water was clear and 51 with no debris seen from state park to back of Indian. Great day other than no fish.Indian point was dingy color but not muddy at all. Ramp was clear and courtesy docks were pulled up to ramp. No reason not to go guys. Good luck

Forgive me champ but I'm not familiar with scout camp ramp. Are you referring to long creek?
