crittermo Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Does anyone have any current information on bass and crappie in the North Shore and Gravois arm area's, I'm bringing my brother and his son down this week and would appreciate any help.
fishinwrench Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 I caught a quick limit that weighed 14.7 yesterday, pitching a jig behind shallow docks. I wanted to hit some steeper bank areas but the wind was just too rediculous. A Carolina rigged lizard on slow tapering points and along gravel/chunk mix banks should be working great within the next few days, if not already. As soon as they stop sucking the lake back down AGAIN, the crappie will be running the banks and you won't be able to NOT catch a good mess. RogueAgent, WeekendWarrior and MOPanfisher 3
WeekendWarrior Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 We had a club tourney this past weekend. We found fish 1/2 to 3/4 ways back in coves on secondaries and in pockets. Seemed if you caught one there was more there as we had a few flurries. They will be moving on beds this week, just had 3 Kentuckies on beds at my dock today (28 mm) that were not there yesterday. I threw the a-rig Saturday till 1:00 without a fish while my non-boater boated 3 keepers and eventually had a limit behind me before switching to a shakyhead and ended with 4 keepers from 1:00 till 3:30. Sunday they were bipping the shakyhead and then set hook a number of times on air so I switched to a wobble head and had limit by 8:30. Lookin45get2 and RogueAgent 2
buckcreekmike Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Coming down to throw a few brush piles in around the dock this weekend. Don't think I will fish, quick there and back to Kansas City.
bjovan Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 Had a report from a friend that live near the Glaize that the crappie are going.
Bushbeater Posted April 11, 2017 Posted April 11, 2017 The Crappie are on the banks shallow now in the Niangua. Chartreuse tube with a black head worked for me. Afternoon water temp 60 degrees.
crittermo Posted April 12, 2017 Author Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks everyone for your help and input, we can't wait to get down, it sounds like the water has warmed up a bit also
