96 CHAMP

Had 4 weeks at TR this spring, started crappie fishing and caught a few good ones, once the water came up I had trouble. Caught some nice fish at nite including this 3-9 smallmouth as well as during the day. The best part of it all was taking my late best friend’s grandson out. We had a blast, it was special indeed.

I have found the bite to be good during these rain fronts moving through the area.

Looks like a fun day for sure, These warm day & night temps next week in the 50s $ scattered storms should make a good night bite.

Thank you sir.

Anyone have any water temps from the shell knob area? Sure would appreciate it.

I can say that last spring was one of the better I’ve had in quite a while, along with catching some quality fish at night. The water level was good and good temps as well.

There will probably be fish in all stages of the spawn, Shakey head, wobble head, if on beds try a top water to aggregate them. Windy, try a spinner bait. Let’s not forget a senko either.

Good job JT, I'm heading down for 3 weeks of fishing and R&R soon.

I'll pass on it.

Try the Hawthorn Inn in Labadie Mo. I personally think it’s the best place anywhere near the St.Louis area

I haven’t been jerkbait fishing in the winter months in years but my personal best is 7-12 caught with deep diving spoonbill in silver and black as fishnwrench quoted.
