Great Day!!!!  Was worried with the moon phase coupled with the cold front passing through that the fishing was going to be extremely slow.  What do I know.  It was the best day yet.  As long as we were fishing along rocky banks, fish were hitting with the wind blowing.  When the wind stopped so did the bite.  Fish were in 2-4 FOW.  Water temp started at 58 then up to 61 at noon.  Most fish were caught between 10a and noon.  Spent the day in Turkey creek area.  Bait used:  1/4 oz chartreuse vibrax with brass spinner.  Caught several shorts..... zero crappie though.  Heading up to LOZ tomorrow with Son-In-Law.....any pointers?

A legal white bass is any size you want to keep for eating.  However, you are only allowed to have 4 over 20" because the MDC doesn't think the average fisherman can tell a white from a striper from a hybrid.  That is a nice white in the pic, especially if it came from a lake north of Springfield.

You are only allowed 4 over 18", not 20.  Hate to see someone get a ticket.

I don't keep them so I'm not too worried about it.....just  didn't know if there was a minimum. I caught 31 out of one spot yesterday  day all 16 to 19 inches and all

on topwater ....fun stuff:D:D

River rat it's good to see you post....I need to hit the Gasconade.

 

I went to the giant flat out on the river again today and had the same results and a few other species
