I live on Taneycomo right across the way from taneycomo lakefront resort. I have a dock but never catch jack off of it i think cause all the traffic ? I do not have a boat an am new to the area . what should i be aiming for off my deck ? OR am i just wasting time ? Any good spots anyone knows of.? I also heard something about a branson bass club that meets the first wednesday of every month ? anyone know the scoop on that ?

i want to catch some fishhhhhh

By "right across the way" do you mean across the lake? How are you fishing from your dock? What bait, and what # line. Power Bait Gulp with just enough weight to get it to the bottom placed 18-24 inches above a size 8 hook on 2-4 Lb line should work. White, and another color. Pink, or orange have been working up the lake lately. Also a night crawler inflated with a little air should work well.

If you are using artificial try small jigs of 3/32 or 1/8 oz in black, brown, olive, sculpin, ginger, white, or a combination of these colors. Also even smaller jigs of 1/125 and smaller fished under a float will work. Try casting gold, or silver Cleos or Spin-A-Lures also. I haven't fished much across the lake from Taneycomo Lakefront Resort, but it is an area popular with people who troll spoons like Cleos. I have done well at times in front of, and up the lake from Lakeside, but mostly in the winter.

I don't get down that way a lot in the summer, but if you see something big, green, and loud hale me down. Maybe we can hook up for a while and fish out of the Gator.

Might see something big green, and loud this weekend. 'Pends on how much gas I have in the tank. Reports have been really good on the upper end, so I don't know if I'll venture down that way or not.

People who use Power Bait generally use two contrasting colors on the hook.

Took a ride down to your place Saturday. I think I found it. Small open dock kinda twisted up from the flood? Anyway I fished a bit right around there but with a depth of 25 feet or so that is way alien to my experience on Taney, Deep water to me is anything deeper than about 10 feet.

That's the spot . Surprisngly the dock is still sturdy and I can stand on it. Hard to keep balance . An those stairs are a hurdle as well.
