Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted March 5, 2007 Root Admin Posted March 5, 2007 This is one of reports you'll never see anywhere else. It's even alittle hard to type out cause of the possible results. But here goes. Mr. Babler and I caught, conservatively, 45 crappie in a short period this evening on Taneycomo. There- that wasn't all that bad. I cleaned 20 between 9 and 14 inches. For those who don't know, Taney is one of those Missouri lakes that has no length limit and isn't restricted to a special daily limit- the state limit is 30 and that's what the limit is on our lake here. I'll pulling a Leonard... he likes to leave lots of spaces on his page. Oh! Did I mention where we caught our crappie!? I'm sorry. In the roof of the mouth. More info?!? You're asking alot. OK. We fished along the boardwalk wall at Branson Landing. The crappie were staging out from the wall about 30 feet off the bank and suspended about 8-10 feet deep. I used a sculpin 1/16th oz jig with an orange head, casting it up towards the bank- 15-25 feet from the bank- and let the jig fall. At one point I had 9 crappie on 9 casts, missed one and had a string of 8 or 9 more in a row. Lots of fun. Threw back alot of small crappie which is a good thing. Some trout, some blue gill and a few bass. I may not have to go to another lake for my spring crappie fix this year. I heard last April that crappie fishing on Taney was excellent- of course I heard this after the season. I was told almost every small cut in the lake from Branson down to Powersite held crappie. I think it's worth checking out.
