Bass on LOZ

[fishinwrench]

Since I can't see the bottom fin I was just going by the color. I've never seen a Blue that greenish brown, but whatever. Nice kitten either way.

Good luck fishin to ya!!

Piddled with some crappie a little bit. Bunches of 10-11 inchers on the banks.

Got sidetracked when the Whites started running. Y'all can have the specks, they don't fight worth a hoot.

I just got back from setting up my battery chargers. I am thinking this next rain tomorrow is going to be warm. Cannot keep me off the water when that happens. It can be a wonderful day of catching bass all sizes and crappie as well. I am really tired of building and painting birdhouses and yard work. Im going.

That must of been a lot of fun. I'd be willing to bet you were alone when you caught those.

Greasy, I was and it was nice. Everyone else is either out catching crappie or out chasing green bass around.

And here I am, stuck in Rolla with no time to fish. I guess I'll hit it next year.

We have not seen many good blues up in the Gravois the past couple of years. They can be suckers in the fall of the year for spoons fished under frenzy feeding schools of white bass. When the whites feed they slash through those schools and they kill about twice as many as they eat. Big blues will lay on the bottom and just open there mouth like a vacuum cleaner and just scoop them up. Fishing for them on purpose in that situation can be about one of the most exciting and also heart breaking things you can do on LOZ with lighter tackle. I usually forget about the whites and start searching for the big blues. They show up on the flasher as blobs rather than arches. When I find one I drop the spoon down right close to him and just beat it off the bottom with small jiggles. I have caught them to 48lbs doing this. and many over 10lbs on 12 lb test line. I always think of it as a poor mans salt water fishing. Sorry to say it has not been that good in the Gravois this past couple of years.

I tended to agree with Wrench on this because off the shape of that head. As soon as I seen the picture I thought Channel Cat. Something about the overall shape in that photo.

Must be a few around. KC Catfish had a tournament out of Coffmann Beach a few weeks ago and the top three boats all had over 100# of fish.

I caught them looking for 'eyes the last couple weeks. They are after the threadfins. I was wondering about all those jug fisherman out there......now I know!
