Fishing Report

[Phil Lilley]

Had our little bass tournament here on Taney this afternoon. 5 boats. Weigh in 5 bass per boat. Noon to 5 p.m.

First place went to Dudley/Whitson with 5 bass weighing in at 11.5 pounds. Biggest bass went to John Hittler with a 3.5 lb largemouth. Dudley/Whitson caught their fish in Bull Creek on jigs. John caught his fish on a spinner bait.

Babler and I found our bass on bluff ends and caught them on Pointers (stick baits). We fished alot of structure and only found fish on bluff ends (where the bluff turns into flats). We fished below Rockaway Beach almost down to Powersite Dam.

We found 54 degree water which was surprising. They found 57 degree and strained water in Bull Creek.

I think there were about 12-15 bass caught in all. We caught a few rainbows. There were a bunch of people trolling on the lower lake and catching trout all afternoon.

That's so nice.. early March bass fishing in Taneycomo! Justs goes to show ya - if Table Rock bass fishing is slow.. you always have options.

You know what they say about Lake Taneycomo largemouth bass every year...

Quick! Someone hide this before word gets out!

I started fishing bass at Taneycomo last year. There were just too many guys at the ramp with bass tackle strapped to the deck to ignore it. I was amazed out how good it was and plan to be back at it here shortly.

If you host another tournament make sure to post it because I want in.
