Little Pomme De Terre River?

[oneshot]

Anyone fish the Little Pomme de Terre River where it goes into Truman?

I was looking at it today and thinking I could take my little 12 foot Jon in there do a little fishing.

Glad to see that someone is still fishing Truman thought maybe this site was dead. As for the Little Pomme the water might be just a little warm yet but as it cools off and the shad start moving up the creeks the fishing should be great. I don't fish over that much anymore, spend most of my time on the Grand arm a lot closer for me but use to fish the little Pomme a lot and always did good in the spring and fall. Good luck.

I went over that way Deer hunting looked like the Shad were up in there.I'm kind of getting my Big Boat back so I might get up there in it.

The deal is I sold it to my Son and he isn't able to come up with the rest of the money for it so he is wanting me to come get it on the condition he can use it if he needs but thing is he hasn't used it since he has had it.

Oh talked to a Guy today and he said fishing is still slow as far as Catfish and Crappie.

The crappie seem to be somewhat scattered yet, they haven't moved to the creeks as of last Wednesday think the water needs to cool down some more. If the shad are there they can't be far away. There is a nice little run of white bass in the Little Pomme in the spring too just in case that might interest you.

How is the bass fishing in the grand arm lately? I am finally getting to get up there this weekend to do a little fishing. I have wanted to for over a year now.

Bass fishing is turning on. So are white bass. Water is cooling and fish are starting to feed up. Should be a good month to fish. It does seem like the Truman anglers have been tightlipped about whether or not the fish are.

I don't bass fish much mostly crappie, white bass and hybrids but would guess that the bass fishing would be getting good maybe better than that even. Look for shad, no shad keep looking. I would think that the major creeks, secondary points, flats would hold em. I have noticed that in the last couple of years that I have caught some really nice bass while dipping trees for crappie mostly within 5 miles of Bucksaw. Gets pretty exciting with a 5 or 6 lb. bass hooked up on a 10' crappie pole with a short line.

Yea, those bass make for a good fight on a UL crappie rig. LOL

Thank you for that tidbit of info. You just solidified where I was planning to fish. I have never been there and am excited about it. Would you happen to know an estimate of how long it takes to get from long shoal to bucksaw?

Don't know how fast you run but thats about 16 miles by water, Long Shoal is G6 Bucksaw is G22. If I was going from Long Shoal up to Bucksaw I would start about G14 there is a nice long deep creek that comes in from the North directly accross and a little bit west of G14 if the wind has been from the south that can be loaded with shad and a lot of fish in the area. Go all the way to the back the best area. From there just keep working your way west sometimes the fishing is better on up past Bucksaw. The water gets more shallow up that way and has more color.

If you are not familiar with the area there is plenty of trees under the water just off the main channel and on all the flats and creeks. Get a good lake map and if you can follow the channel you won't have any problems and should be able to run to 13 highway if you want. Any time you pull off the main channel just slow down be carefull.

Good Luck.

The map I have is the book of sportsman's connection from walmart. Of course it is not for navigation but I think I can see just what your talking about. I was wanting to try cedar creek. Something about it just calls me. LOL

My potential is running on a good day at 72 MPH but I would be absolutely stupid to run like that on truman since it is my first run on it ever... I have heard that people (from Pro's even) hate fishing truman because it is so hard to fish. I am guessing from the timber obstacles and such. I was warned that I need to bring plenty of hooks. LOL

All in all, I am leaving the house tomorrow afternoon to find out for myself. I will try and get on here before I leave but if not. I will definitely be back Sunday night with a report on bass. I will have to wait till another time to try my crappie luck. LOL

Happy Fishing!
