kickapoo here in springfield.

why cant you at Mcdanials? just curious, very intersesting...thanks for the updates

Hey thanks guys, I remember about a year or so ago hearing that the MDC went through and was shocking the water for some research and found mulitple fish pushing high weight numbers, I have even heard that the potential next state record could come out of there....I am not sold on that but I havent really fished the lake for bass or crappie mostly I just go out for some catfish, carp, or gar just the fun. But Im anixous to get out and try some things, I really think trial and error are going to be the best bet but I really do appriciate the thoughts and replies!!

Hey guys, this is my first time starting a thread...I am a new user to the forum here and have really enjoyed reading up on everything. This past Christmas my wife got me a 2 person fishing kyak, and am pumped to take it out. My queston comes about Springfield Lake. Now I have lived and grown up in Nixa all my life and I am pretty familar with the usually bank locations at springfield lake but I am curious to know what is the lake as a whole like? Are the spawning periods the same or similar to the Rock for example? eariler or later? With gas going up I have a feeling the kyak is going to be used more than the boat at times this year so I was just trying to learn a little bit more. I also am interested in fishing Fellows and Mcdaniel. Any thoughts on those lakes? When I start out, should I fish more lake stuff or river stuff? types of fish doesnt matter..I usually always have stuff for white, bass, catfish etc in the tackle box. Any info about either of the lakes would be greatly appriciated

awesome, thanks for the update...I doubt I'll b able to get on the water until after wrestling is season over...coaching sure does take time away from fishing geezzz....but its good to know whats working just in case..lol thanks again

what color swimmin minnows were you throwing and where you around structure..im pretty familar with bridgeport, my family use to own a lake house there..
