Results!!! Crappie Slayers Tournament Series Lake Pomme De Terre May 22nd, 2010 Pittsburg State Park 7 Fish 1. Bacon/Bacon 4.99 2. Hall./Reth 3.70 3. Stokes/Shockley 1.51 Big Crappie 1. Bacon/Bacon 1.10 Report: We had a very small turnout, I have been contacted by several saying the high water kept them away. The water was 13 plus feet high, however the color was great. Visibility was 5-6 feet in the dam area. The fishing was awesome however the keepers were hard to come by. We caught 40 plus fish with only a handful of keepers. Couldn't keep the dinkers off our jigs! Fished 30 fow in brush piles. Used slab slayer style jigs in chart. Hope to see some more turn out in June. Brad

Thursday Night Bass Tournament Ruark Bluff 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM Entry Fee $40 (includes big bass) For rules and more info visit www.fishstocktonlake.com Come on out and have a great time!!!

Too Funny!

Ruark is very easy, however it has been pretty busy the last three days. If you want to catch a lot of crappie I'd head to Ruark, the bite is hot, hot, hot!! Brad

Here's the story - Bob caught the fish, a touch over 5 lbs, I held it like it was mine. Now just think if I got that excited over Bob's fish you can imagine what happens when I catch one that size!!!!! Brad PS - Hey Bob I'll bring the net on Thursday night!

Awesome!!!

sounds like a great trip to me!!! Brad

Bass - I would head up the pomme river, however any of the small creek arms, points, etc... hold fish. Lures - crankbaits, tubes, spinnerbaits, jigs Colors - crankbaits - anything with a tough of black/chart, purple/chart, black/silver tubes - 3.5 -4" puke, green pumpkin spinnerbaits - white, white/chart, chart jigs - pbj, brown, brown/orange, blue/black Brad

Crappie - From Bolivar landing you can fish any standing timber, lots of it in that area. Sometimes they want the jig vertical and some times on the fall, just have to experiment. Jigs - Slab busters, triple ripples, tubes, grubs Colors - anything with chart, whites and blues Size - 1/16th - 1/8th Hope this helps. Brad

Grew up fishing that area around Truman, still one of my favorites. You've got a cabin in a great place, enjoy it!! Brad PS- Snagging at Talley Bend was wretched. We managed one 3 pound spoonie and nothing else, graph was blank as I've ever seen it. Water temp 44 the same as opening day.

I guess we're practically neighbors! I don't head toward Lead Mine very often, occasionally I will fish the Niangua around the 64 bridge area. Normally head to Pomme, Stockton or Truman. It is very seldom I head to LOZ. However I hope to fish the Niangua out of a jon boat a few times this summer. Brad

I'm headed to Tally Bend on Sat. With the water temp so cold this is a tough one. Probably wait another 10 days for the water to warm???? If they were running water out of the dam I'd go to Warsaw, if not I would head toward Osceola, just my two cents. Good luck. Brad

1. All Star ASR series Jerk Bait Rod 2. All Star TAS series 6' 6" Medium,Fast action tip 3. St Croix Mojo Jerk Bait Rod I'm sure you will see several different rods suggested. All three of these retail for under $100 and come with a good warranty. Just make a trip to a few tackle stores and put some rods in your hands and see how they feel. Good luck on your quest! Brad

It will get better soon. Going to give it a shot on Saturday, probably start at Tally Bend. Brad

Sounds great to me - send it to MDC. Brad

Thanks! I guess I'll just have to make it a point to be at the next one! Brad

How did the seminar go? I wanted to be there but wasn't able. Will it be posted as a pod cast? Brad

Sounds great! I normally just crappie fish Pomme and bass fish very little, however I think I'll start bass fishing some more there. Brad

Stickbaits and Grubs - you'll be in business. Good luck and let us know how you do. Brad

Good luck with the 'bird! Welcome to the humminbird family. Brad

There's only one I'm familar with - Dave Roberts. I don't have any contact info but know he is a great fisherman. I've seen advertisements for Coach's guide service. Hope this helps. Brad
