Shawnee Trail Ponds And Pits-- Need Info

[Feathers and Fins]

Bushwacker is a fun lake to play on. stick to the south end timber, there are many little pothole ponds people dont even know about in SWMO that are open to public. I explore many of them never expecting a bite and when i get one i call it a great day.

F&F - Thanks for the tip. To me, any time I wet a line, I have to call it a great day

Just an update on Shawnee Trails, I went yesterday and did pretty good in the morning until the wind drove me off the lake! Ended up with 6 bass total in about 2 hours. First ones came pretty fast as it seemed then things got slower as the wind picked up. Most fish I caught were in the slot too so that was pretty fun catching some nicer ones. All bass and nothing else as well. When I was taking out 3 other guys were about to put on with yaks until they saw what a hard time I was having. At the parking lot I talked with another fellow and his boy caught a real nice one last week he said off the bank. The main lure for me was a chart/pumpkin lizard. Water is stained as well from all the rain. Good day until the wind got really strong. I will be back again soon though!

Haven't been out yet this spring. I have been debating the fact, but I am thinking that the best option is to wait a bit until some of this forsaken wind slows. It's been an odd spring for weather, and one I haven't necessarily wanted to chance yet.

Are you guys fishing the main 9ish Acre lake Pin Oak Lake? Or hitting some of the other bodies. I've had a little luck with some largemouth bass in this main lake but have yet to fish any of the other areas there. Now that I have a kayak I plan on doing some exploring. I did see one strip pit that looked really nice, may explore some of them on my vacation next week.
