I've never fished Fellows but plan to often now that I'm living less than 5 minutes away. I'm definitely going to be doing a bit of exploring trying to learn the lake. Any advice, inside info, or open seats would be appreciated. I do have a boat but it has a 50 horse and is in the process of getting a new floor, any open seats will be paid forward by mid summer.

Disclosure: I am not asking for your secret spot or honey hole. Feel free to pm any info that you're not willing to share openly. I literally have no knowledge of this body other than location.

What species of fish are you mainly targeting? Bass fishing there can be good, however in my experience I have 2 good trips for every 15 bad ones. I fish table rock and Stockton mainly but go there sometimes just to satisfy my addiction when I have limited time. The same tactics that are used on trl and Stockton seem to produce jack squat on fellows. But that's just my opinion. Now, walleye and muskie on that lake are a whole other story. I'll be more than happy to offer what I know!

I'm not picky. It depends on the time of year. Winter months usually walleye and muskie, spring and fall a toss up between crappie and bass, heat of the summer I like running limb lines, and catfishing. I'm not limited on gear for the most part so I definitely consider myself a pursuer of all, master of none. But I ain't gonna starve ;)

That's good to know! Thank you. I intend on finding and thoroughly studying the regs prior to wetting any line. Do you know if there are topo maps of water depths anywhere?

You can also buy a book of every lake in Missouri at Walmart or bass pro, and they are pretty detailed with channels and have great topography. Might cost $20 but very well worth it when on a lake you've never been on. I was on fellows yesterday and me and a friend caught 30 or so whites and one walleye. Fishing's getting a little better, but the water temps are still low 40's.

Sounds like you are doing pretty good out there! Me and a buddy are going to try to head out there tomorrow afternoon if the roads and ramp are clear. We are going to try the whites, I saw in another thread you were hitting them 50-60 feet down with spoons so that what we are going to try that. We will search the deep areas of the lake looking for bait and drop in below them. Is there any part of the lake in particular you have had more luck at, any help would be much appreciated!
