Members Jim Spriggs Posted June 15, 2016 Members Posted June 15, 2016 I fished a tributary of the meramec yesterday afternoon for a few hours. Fish were in shallow water on rock in the current. A spinnerbait produced 7 fish over 16", and another dozen between 12-15". The largest, picture below, was 3 lbs and 18 1/2". It is a special thing to find agressive summertime bass.

Members go4ducks2 Posted June 15, 2016 Members Posted June 15, 2016 Way to go Jim....thanks for the report.
Seth Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016 Nice! That definitely wasn't the story around Sappington Bridge yesterday evening. Numbers were average and they would bite about anything you would throw, but keepers were very hard to come by. It amazes me how different the bite is on different sections of the same river on the same day. The Gasconade was the same way last weekend. Very tough bite between Vienna and Jerome for keepers, but a buddy caught several really nice largemouth WAY up the river on the same day. Last year it seemed like you could take a pattern and fish it throughout the entire river system and do well. Pat Magee 1
Members Jim Spriggs Posted June 18, 2016 Author Members Posted June 18, 2016 I ventured back to the same location a few days later, and I caught only small ones. The flow had dropped 15%, and I suspect the fish moved deeper and became inactive. Timing is key...

Thanks for the report and pics brother.
Brian Jones Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Great fish and good report. Congrats. But with all due respect, saying Meramec tributary and then posting a pic of a fish laying in the bottom of a jet boat kinda takes away the anonymity. Hog Wally and Greasy B 2
Greasy B Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 The trib is getting low, won't be long getting a jet through will get ugly. His father touches the Claw in spite of Kevin's warnings and breaks two legs just as a thunderstorm tears the house apart. Kevin runs away with the Claw. He becomes captain of the Greasy Bastard, a small ship carrying rubber goods between England and Burma. Michael Palin, Terry Jones, 1974
Al Agnew Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Yep, pretty sure it's now impossible to run where I ran it last week.
