Fishing Report

[FishinJack]

The lake level keeps dropping. According to Ameren it's supposed to be rising soon. Fishing is fine right now and a lot of patterns are half working. Today we caught bass on jigs, shaky worms, and crankbaits. Crappie have been pretty solid with curly tail grubs like the Gulp! (2inch) have been better than the traditional tube baits. Some days you'll smack em dead, other days are on the slow side. All we need is a little rain, rising lake levels, and we'll be in for some great fishing.

Yeah, bring on the rain (plenty of it) and dump Truman.... we need some dang water !

What do you guys like to throw in rising water?

I prefer a spinnerbait unless there is flooded brush then I like to flip the brush.

a lot of times, especially this time of year, the fish will stay on the original bankline. So if you can't get bit in the new water, back off a bit and check to see if the fishies are still where they were.
