Gravois bass bite was on 5/6/15

Got on the water a little after 9 at Coffman, fished til 6pm, and never left the gravois arm.

Breezy, with clouds and the threat of rain that never really happened in any real way. Fish were shallow, biting topwater walking baits in very clear water. I kind of thought I was back on Bull Shoals at times. Lots of fish on beds.

Flat gravel banks were the key, all day bite. I'm not sure how many I caught. Lots. No scales with me, but best 5 were 20", a matched pair of 18", and a matched pair of 16". I had a few things tied on, but they kept hitting the topwater so I kept throwing it. I am officially worn out. Bass thumb and sore arm. Get out there while you can guys, it's on.

I do not know kuch about up at Gravois Mills but other than that most of the gravois is crystal clearcto about 6 ft.

Lake is pretty clear everywhere right now, can see 4 to 6 foot down at 28 mm at house and have been in glaize and even clear there as well so I would say the gravois would be pretty darn clear in there but have not been in there last couple weeks

Lol, I don't BS guys. I fished several creeks in the Gravois arm, and caught fish pretty much everywhere I went. I would say you could see bottom in at least 6, maybe as many as 10 in places.

96 Champ---- missedthat day. I was up in Jeff city having some heart test done. Took beter part of the day.

After reading your post I went out about 3 pm with a Sara spook puppie. I caught several fish but only twp keepers before I got scared off the water about 4:30. It was not much fun down here today. About every other cast the spook would pick up some slop off the trees. I did not get one fish off a fravel flat they were all in back of docks on medium dropping banks. I got some spawning activity trying to get started in back of my dock. That fish is clearing a spot between flat rocks that has a bit of gravel in it. the bed must be down there 5 ft at least. I usually have one liek the every year.

I'll be glad when that pollen is all gone. Went down to dock last week seeing if the crappie were there and every cast would have some of those string beans on the lure and gave up.
