Hi Boyz! Need Some Good Advice From Any Of You Who Fish Truman

[Shaner]

Shane,

I haven't been up there but... a couple of weeks ago a guy I know who is a very credible source (and who fishes up there all of the time) told me that a couple of weeks back he was catching alot of fish (and nice ones) on jigs in the willows.

You aren't Shane Long are you? Just asking because I went to high school with him, but haven't talked to him since high school.

Good luck in the tourney!

Thanks for the Info Whack'emGood!!! I'm from Wichita Ks and just moved to Ozark this past January. I've Heard that same info about the Willows on Points. Was your friend in the back of coves or on the main lake in the willows? Thanks

Where can I find the water discharge or generation schedule for Truman? Thanks for all the helpful info!

Shaner, fished the heartland a few weeks ago and like every one else flipped big worms and jigs to the brush but also had our best fish on spinnerbaits. Don't forget the square bills. Good luck.

Shaner, in the heartland tourney, I caught a couple of shorts on a Luckycraft D-20 off of a main lake point. I also caught a short and one that went 2.83 on a black blue jig w/ a blue trailer, in the willows fishing pockets and main lake points. Look for the dead willows as it seemed more fish were hiding in them. The water clarity I believe will play a major role in where the fish are hiding, if its clear I would look 5-8' through the willows and 8-15' on points. if its muddy, 8' or less on everything even moving up to a foot of water. As far as the buzzbait and spinnerbait bite, I know it was there, but it just wasn't happening for me.

Good luck
