Rising Water

[rangerz21]

With the rain last week the lake is rising fished today 2-5-12 The water temps actually warmed up some from last week. Today they seemed to bite better with the sunshine. Had 5 keepers all on a jerkbait with 8 shorts yesterday had 4 keepers one about 4 1/2 lbs was the biggest and only 2 shorts. Tons of shad on the electrnics anywhere from 8 to 25 fow. The crappie bite has been excellant in the upper grand they are spider rigging them using minnows in the bigger creek arms hope all the water coming down the grand doesnt mess things up. The bass on Truman right now are the healtiest That i can remember been here since the lake went in.And actually before that.

Ranger,

Are you fishing points or bluffs? Also, if you dont mind sharing the depth you are jekbaiting. I fished mainlake areas around the Dam on Sunday with a LC100 pointer for 6 hrs and not a tap.

No I was out Sunday. But yes I fished in that area. Appreciate the help. Will try to sneak out again soon. Nice to see some info on the Truman page!
