Bass Fishing Reports

[Willyh08]

Does anyone have any current info on bass fishing at Truman ?? Our club has a tx this weekend. I've heard that last weekend the fish were still shallow, in the bushes and soft plastics worked.

Anything more current ??

Monday, Tuesday on Truman. Good bite in flooded brushy tops in 5-7 ft of water. Fished the Long Shoal area, didn't burn but about 5 gals of gas both days. Look on main lake points, first couple of secondary points with bushes. Wind seemed to help. couldn't get anything on top or with spinnerbait. Baits of choice were Sweet Beavers and tubes, black & red flake, green pumpkin. Fish on Monday were males protecting fry, Tuesday better quality females starting to show up. Best 5 on Monday would have weighed around 13-14 lbs. Best 5 on Tuesday around 16-17 lbs, biggest of the trip 5 lbs. Water color in this area good stain, temps mid 70's. Good luck, hope this helps!!

Our club tournament turned out pretty good. Took 14 lbs on Saturday and about 12.5 lbs on Sunday to win. Guys caught fish in buck brush, sometimes just deep enough to cover the fishes back, and up to about 6 ft deep, plus rigging on the points. I caught a hog in practise (of course) that would have gone about 6.5 - on a Senko type bait on a big stump. All in all a good weekend.
