Good Luck The lakes up 12 ft. ,the Dam gate is WIDE open, so the lake is dropping 4-7" a day. The water is muddy, and the Bass are freaked out. The "geezer"

Went out for a couple of hours caught 1 nice 3 lb. bass, but that was it. Lake is still 13 ft above normal, and muddy about a ft. of visability. Water temp was 52. Thats it for now Good Luck & Good Fishing The "Geezer" P.S. I'll post another update before the weekend

[ The surface temp is 47 deg. and the water is very MUDDY. Hope this helps Good Luck & Good Fishing The "Geezer" P.S. Be CAREFUL theres a lot of floating debris.

[e] Another update Wll guys now you can't get to the docks, due to the 3 1/2 in. of rain Mon., also the Corp have shut down the gate due to flooding on the river, and the high water at Truman. I'll keep you posted. The "Geezer"

Not much to report, The lake is fishable you CAN get to the docks, The water is MUDDY, Had a Bass tourney with only 2 fish weighed in. Good Luck The "Geezer"

My buddy (hoover25) caught some last night with1/16th oz jig and on stick baits (on 20 lb power pro and a 6 lb flouro leader) at the dam. Nothing awesome, but at least they were hitting.

Well the lake is now 15 ft high, You can't get to the boat docks unless you want to swim about 50 ft. The gate is wide open 2500 cu. ft. per sec. I'll keep ya posted. The "geezer:

Went out Sun. got into the white bass, they were suspended at about 20 ft. Went up the pomme river and found all the tourney fisherman, but the water temp was 52 the main lake was 41. That was before the flood. Now the lake is up 11 ft. and rising, and looks like choc. milk. doubt if I'll get out this weekend. Thats it for now sportsfans Good Luck and Good Fishing The "geezer"

Hey Guys Pomme is noted for it's great Crappie fishing. Right now the water is so muddy theres not much biting right now. I was out yesterday for a little while but did'nt get a single bite. The water temp is 41 so it won't be long. I don't fish for Muskies in the summer, they get so stressed out most die after being released. Spring and fall is the time to go. Martin Flats and around the islands are the place to go. Well thts it for now. Good luck and good fishing The "Geezer"

Happy almost spring everybody Wish I had some great fishing to tell you about, but I don't. Went out yesterday for a couple of hours with narry a bite. The water temp. is 40 deg. and MUDDY . The lake is up about 6 ft. and the gates are wide open. Nobody I talked to has caught a thing. Wish I had more to report, but thats it for this week. Good fishing and good luck The "Geezer"

Hey Hey Hey Went out Sun. for a few hours and did pretty well Caught 3 Bass in the 3-4 lb range. Started out with a Buzz bait caught 2 and lost a really good one He wrapped me around a tree. I hate it when they do that. Then switched to a Spinnerbait and caught a few more. I think the top water bite is finally starting. The water temp. is 71 deg. and the water was a little cloudy. My neighbor the dedicated crappie fisherman told me the bite is hit or miss. He was catching them in 15-20 ft. using Char. jigs. The ones he caught were all NICE fish. There not schooled up yet. He would catch a few and then have to move to a new spot, and would catch a few more. You just have to keep moving. The Muskies have somewhat turned off, a few are being caught but nothing spectacular. Must still be shook up from the Musky tourney. Until the next time Good fishing and good BEER The "Geeze"

Hey Hey Hey Actually fished the Muskey tourney yesterday with my buddy. Finished 2nd my buddy caught 2, a 37" and a 42" The Muskey fishing is just starting to pick up the water temp was 77deg. Give it another couple of weeks and it should really turn on. I'll post the pictures Tue. gotta run Good luck & good fishing The "Geeze"

Hey Daddy I was using a red & white buzzer, lost a really nice one, no trailer hook. Added a trailer and never lost another one. Super fun ! I was using a Chompers 5" JIG in watermellon{(which actually looks brown) and a 3/8 oz stan sloan jig head. I'm always up to learning new tips, actually tried "split shotting" new to me but worked. I have a guide friend thats going to show me how to "drop shot" Never tried that presentation either. If your ever up at the Pomme on a Sun. or Mon. my boat has a big Fish Master decal on the sides. We'll hook up and swap fishin lies. Well Gotta run Happy fishing & good luck The "Geeze"

Went out yesterday (Mon.) Did pretty good, used Buzz Baits early and switched to Jigs later in the morning. I was catching fish in the entrance to coves, did'nt do all that great on the points. I was fishing around Fugats cove throwing into the standing timber,in about 20-25'of water. Next weekend is the big Musky tourney, so the lake will be overly crowed, and I'm sure they'll be several Bass tourneys so I'm going to set out next weekend. The "Geeze" P.S. The water temp was 74 deg. and level is still normal

I went ou last Tue. to do a little Bass fishing before the rain set in. Caught a few and 1 nice keeper went 2#12oz. I carry a digital scale in the boat. I did'nt do any good on top water to my amazement, it was perfect conditions for it. I was hitting the main lake points with a spinnerbait when I got all my bites. I talked to a couple of boats that were Musky fishing but they had'nt had any bites , or follows. The water temp. is still a little warm yet, it should'nt be too much longer before they start turning on. Will try to get out this weekend now the 3 day weekend is over. Will post after I go. The "Geeze"

Amen Brother !!! I've posted on this subject before, and it turned into a"witch hunt". I agree with you 100%. 50 or 60 boats on a big lake is really no problem, but put that same amount on a small lake like Pomme and it gets real crowded real fast. I know that the boys with with the big boats have to justify the cost, but I think it's time for the Corp to start regulating the tourneys. You have to obtain a special permit if you want to have a boat racing event, and I think this should carry over to the fishing tounrneys. I have no problem with the local bass clubs, I used to fish them when I was younger, but we were talking 10-15 boats. Like I said in an earlier post they start in late Feb. and run into early Dec. You can't go into a cove what theres not a least 1 or 2 boats. I would be nice if we could fish during the week, but like most, there's this thing called work. Anyway now that I've vented, I'll let others put their "2 cents worth" in. The Geeze

Have a little vacation time to burn. Never fished the "sholes" was wondering when the walleye bite starts turning on in the fall, also where to go? Any help will be greatly appreciate any help. The Pomme Geezer

How wrong you are my friend. Center city hosts one that has 70 boats. I believe it's a Skeeter tourney. The Geeze

The Pomme gets hit with anywhere frome 3 to 10 bass tourneys every weekend from late Feb. Thru Nov. When I started fishing the Pomme 30+ years ago it was nothing to catch 25-30 bass a day, now your lucky to catch 5-10. Go to a weigh in site a day after a tourney, and see all the dead bass floating. It,s not that i'm against the competition, there are just too many on such a small lake. Anyway try the spots I mentioned. Good Luck The geeze P.S. Some of the tourneys have up to 70 boats.

A little tip. I usually don't help with bass tourneys, BUT you might try coves #1,#2, & #3. Good luck The Geeze

I don't fish the river that much. Latly I've been catching Catfish in about 6-10 ft. of water . Try nightcrawlers. Tey (catfish ) have been on the banks spawning. The lake is 7' high right now so honestly what thats done to the fishing. I haven't been out since the week before the 4th. THe boat and jet ski traffic has been insane. Will try to go out this Sun. I'f you have a boat hit the points with crank baits or 10" plastic worms. Black or purple WERE working for me. You need DEEP diving crank baits to getdown to 15-20 ft. The thermocline is starting to form now, so thers not much use fishing deeper than 20-30 ft. Hope this helps Good Luck The "geeze"

channel, did'nt have time to catch any bluegill

Had a friend up Sun. for a little catfishing. we did really well caught 5 keepers, and threw back 3. Fishing with rod & reel using nightcrawlers. We were fishing the flats in about 5' of water. They really did'nt start biting until after sundown. We fished about 4 hrs. Can't wait to fry em up, YUM YUM Have Fun The Geeze

Was able to pry myself out of bed early Mon. morning. Caught 9 Bass before all the "jet Skiers" woke up. Throwing a Spook at the mouth of coves, about 6' from shore. Had a blast. The water is still about 6' high, and a lot of stuff floating in the water including some massive logs, and trees. BE CAREFUL Good lUCK the Geeze
