Members AmericanAngler Posted May 4, 2013 Members Posted May 4, 2013 I am going to be hitting the Finley hard this year. With gas prices as they are I may only make one or two trips up north to Truman and one to Tablerock. So I need to get my gear ready. I have a wide range of soft plastics but my spinners cranks and stick baits are lacking in the box. So what are some of the best ones to use for the area. I will be fishing my main area around KK then I will be around Linden and Oz Park. Plus I am using a 11 ft Flat Bottom rowing Skiff since I have yet to acquire a trolling motor or 5 hp outboard. So give me the run down like I said I know the KK area very well. "Let me fish or else"
Jack Jones Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Well please post reports when you do. Like you, I'm frequently stuck in the greater Springfield area so I'd love to know what kind of action you're experienceing.

Members AmericanAngler Posted May 5, 2013 Author Members Posted May 5, 2013 @Jack Jones: I usually have some nice experiences around the bridge on KK near Rogersville. Last year I made a minnow trap out of 3 Liter bottle and did good on live bait. Shoot me a PM maybe we can hit a few spots sometime. "Let me fish or else"
jbtiwns30 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 What to use.... frogs over the pads. Weightless worms dragging over the timber... white spinner baits bumping over the timber. Hook and split shot with a minnow under the docks going up the river from the park.

Sweet thanks for the info will be the first time hitting the park with out being land locked to a bank. "Let me fish or else"
jbtiwns30 Posted May 6, 2013 Posted May 6, 2013 Send me a pm some time before u go... if i can ill meet u down there to show u some spots.
Members AmericanAngler Posted May 7, 2013 Author Members Posted May 7, 2013 Sure thing building a new skiff next week so will be out in two weeks or so hitting the river. Best part is the cost so far has been ultra low for this 11 footer. Last one I built ran me clse to $250+ this one is running me around $150. Plus can hold more then one over weight fisherman.
