We went to Tuscumbia, water was about 14' high and strong current. White Bass/Hybrids were chasing shad at the mouth of creeks early. As for bass, the ones we caught we agressive, but there was just too much cover and water. makin them hard to find. We found a few getting ready to spawn in the backs of creeks. Water was gin clear everywhere.

Hey guys I'm going down put in food plots at the farm and will probably fish the osage at Tuscumbia or Bagnell Sunday night/Monday morning. If you hear any reports from the weekend please let me know. I'll be targeting bucket mouths but would love to get into some whites or hybrids. Thank you in advance and I'll let you know how/what we do Jared

I fish the lower meramec quite a bit and wade fishing below the I-44 bridge last summer...I parked at the muesum and walked down to the river (east side of the river). Caught a couple 12 in spots and small smallies but nothing sizeable. There is some really good looking water all through there but I don't know if its pressure or what b/c there should be more fish. I put a hole in my jet boat in the fall of 2010 running down that shoal...lots of big chunk rock in there...fishing was soo goos we fished with a sinking boat for awhile! Like a couple floks said above...the meramec looks ugly but there are some good fish there. You can go a couple times barely get a bite then one day you could fill the boat. Fall seems to be the best time for me...and june if the water levels are consistant. I tend to fish fenton more than anything...but you need a boat down there

My grandpa was there 3 days this week, they ran out of minows each day (old-timers don't trust jigs). I think they limited out 1 of the three days
