Put on a 1/16oz. Curl tail roadrunner (chart/white, or blue/white) and just take off down a bank with it. You'll find a school of them.

Thanks for the help. Backs of cove or toward the mouths?

[fishinwrench]

Not the very back ends but a good starting point is the closest steep bank to the back end.

[Dennis]

Thanks I'll try it in the morning

What area of the Gravi are you close to ? Above Coconuts or below ?

[dennisduckhunter]

I normally fish up to Indian Creek. But I can go aove coconuts. I have never fished those Missouri Department conservation brush piles up on the upper end of the gravois I thought I might try them tomorrow also.

It is typically a early and late bite for the most part.

The places where you might catch one or two dink's during mid-day will often produce a limit of gooduns during the last hour of daylight.

Brush really isn't that important right now. They are just kinda cruising the shoreline I think.

I'm going to give the Gravois arm a try tomorrow myself. I've never been there but I figure I'll just go pick a bank with rock and start casting. If that doesn't work I will go graph some brushpiles in 12-15 and fishing them. That pattern usually produces something for me on the Glaize arm.

There has been a few recent reports of people catching them up shallow. A buddy hammered them on Friday but another guy went and hit the same spots today and never caught squat so they must be moving around a bit. Another guy said they caught a mess today fishing minnows 18" deep in 4-8' of water.

That's gonna be your best plan, Seth.

Just move along quickly until you get one, then slow down and pick it to death.
