  1. Courtesy docks are the primary reason I put transom savers on all my boats I have ever owned. I won't bother with it anymore. If there is a place to safely beach it that is my preference, because...you just never know what kind of shenanigans will be going down on the courtesy dock when you are ready to use it. That said, blocking the RAMP is a much bigger offense than blocking the courtesy dock IMO and will quickly get politely challenged by yours truly.
  2. Made it out for some bass fishing and the bite was still slower than I expected this time of year. That STRONG shallow bite has just never materialized for me. Did catch some really nice fish throwing creature baits on a shaky head on bluff ends and in the pockets of bluffs. Also caught some keepers on secondary points in coves where shad was present - but by far the better quality was out on the main lake, especially the steep banks. I did get out for a few hours of night fishing on Sat night as well, targeting the same general pattern as I found them on Friday and the result was fair. Several 'Pomme' keepers and one 4lber on the bluff ends.
  3. Killer report - thanks Bo. Don't mind me asking, what area of the lake were you fishing? Not asking for spots just general vicinity. Thanks!!
  4. Got out last weekend and the bass bite was slow. Switched to crappie fishing around 8am and had limit of 10+ inch crappie within an hour. Kicked back several keepers between 9-10". Per Shockley's report, they are in ~10' and casting, then SLOWLY winding a jig past the target was key. My best colors were red/chart, silver/red
  5. Floated the upper Niangua a couple weeks ago and had a blast. Several 18 in class fish and just a ton of 14-16 inch. Best bait an 1/8 oz shaky head and gp baby rage craw.
  6. Typically, the bass bite after the lake stabilizes. That doesn't mean it has to get to normal - just a steady draw of water every day. The up/down level with drawing water and rain pouring in makes the bite unbelievably tough.
  7. They are pretty scattered. Been having trouble nailing down any particular pattern. Some in the flooded trees, some deep, some where it used to be dry land...it's tough out there for bass right now.
  8. It's been tough out there with the fluctuating water levels!
  9. I agree with the "take it easy" advice - that road is rough, especially towing.
  10. I have been fishing primarily the 'dam area' so within 3 miles either direction of the dam.
  11. Been a while since I posted here. I own a house on Pomme and I'm down there most weekends from April to November. The last couple weeks have been absolutely awesome. Bass are in full spawn mode and you can pick your poison; some are post spawn, some on beds, others staged to move in. Been catching good numbers on plastics of all kinds drug slowly through spawn areas. Topwater bite is fair as well, with most of the topwater bites being better fish. This past week I was down Thurs-Sat and had great success dragging plastics on secondaries and in spawn pockets. Had the privilege to land (and release) this 7lb beauty who was taken off a bed in 6 fow. Good luck out there.

  13. BPS Kansas City had these on the shelf yesterday....had
  14. Wind was key to our bite and the water up the James has some stain.
  15. Fished a club tournament Sat and another Sun. Sat had 15lbs, Sun 17lbs good for 2nd and 1st respectively. Caught em all on the a-rig in 15-20 fow. Really only had 2 spots that were any good. 6 keepers each day and just a few shorts. We fished a smaller rig with blades (Flash Mob JR) and the small size swimmin flukes. Counted it down 3-5 sec and SLOW rolled it - ticking the bottom. WE threw the heck out of jerk baits as well and never a sniff. Overall a 2 day of total of nearly 33lbs not a bad weekend by any standard. Hats off to our boys that took 1st on Saturday with 22lbs with an 8lb kicker!
