Have not been up to Stockton However, Spring river west of Joplin is frozen solid enough to walk on (really ruined my fishing plans yesterday!). If moving water is frozen like that I would imagine the lake has quite a bit on ice on it.
Caught this guy a couple of weeks ago on Lake of the Ozarks. Got me wondering, are there any in Stockton? I have never caught one or heard of anyone catching them so I assume they are not in the lake?
Put in at Roark. Tried to hit some of my normal crappie piles in Birch but wind made that almost impossible. We decided to try trolling Cranks. Had some success. Caught a bunch of short crappie and several short largemouth. My daughter hooked into this 18 inch Eye with only one Eye. Boy did she have fun getting it in! Also got one 12.5 in crappie. Windy but fun day on the water!
Got this off google.
In Minnesota, cormorants have been found to consume from 1.0 to 1.5 pounds per bird per day. The majority of their diet is made up of fish (99.9% in Leech Lake) but they also eat snails, crayfish, and amphibians.
