Let's Talk Smallmouth Lures...

Wanting to know if anyone has smallmouth fished the weaublau creek near Kings prairie area. What did you use and has anyone floated the area? Going to try it when the water goes down a bit. thanks

Here's my picks for smallies.

For small waters (bull,swan,beaver creek)

4 inch straight tail worm (shakeyhead) either brown or green with chartuese tipped tail.

Zara puppy

1/8oz jig and craw, either green pumpkin/brown or brown/orange

My Personal Best Smallie (est 6lbs by measurements) was caught on a brown/orange bitsy bug and orange craw in Roarke Creek in Branson.

My big water picks(Table Rock Lake)

spinbait 80/90

River2Sea S-waver 168/200 in Party Crasher or Warden.

Spro BBZ1 Jr, either floater or slow sink in Lavender Shad Or Blue Herring.

I'll use the small water stuff when the bite is really tough on the lake but I've caught too many smallies over 3lbs on the swimbaits to put them down.

Small water pro, I used to float and fish weaubleau creek above kings prairie. Would put it and gerster and take out behind a cornfield. Only place I ever floated where the shuttle between in an out was shorter than the actual float. Don't remember catching many smallies, but plenty of largemouth, green sunfish, bluegills, occasional channel cat. There is a big hole with chunk rock called the Suzy hole I thin that was always good for several fish. Usually floated it earlier in the year or it would turn into a 3 mile drag between holes trip.

I like throwing a KVD sexy dawg for wtd lure. Thats what I caught my largest smallie on. It was 20.5. Fishing with it I have also caught a few over 19 and numerous fish over 18. I like how it sits very high on the water
