Fishing on 6/10

[CoMo]

So it has been awhile since my last post.  Time and weather have not allowed me to get out much this year, but I did manage to get out last Saturday.  We got on the water around 8:30am.  There was not much in the way of boat traffic at this point in time.  The wind was brutal so trolling was the only option that we had.  The first crappie was picked up around 9 in 20 FOW on a lipless crank.  Not much size.  In fact the bait was half the size of the fish.  The 10am rolled around and the place was packed with boats that should be on LOZ.  Several boaters got within 30 yards of my boat and the wake was ridiculous.  We toughed it out to 2 o'clock (didn't have anything else to do).  My son swam and my wife read a book.  We managed four 8 inch crappie for the day and the ability to take advantage of some decent weather.  The comment of the day was from my wife when she and I remembered the day you never saw a boat over 20 feet on that lake.  Guess I will need to adapt.  No pictures this time.

Not sure why reports are rare for Mark Twain.  We lived in Palmyra for 3 years and I was on this lake every weekend.  Always had a good trip.  In my lifetime I have fished Stockton, LOZ, Table Rock, and Taneycomo.  I would have to say that MT is out go to lake for two reasons.  1) it is close to Columbia MO and 2) you have fishable water feet from boat ramps.  It always seems to have people fishing on it which makes me wonder why no one posts.  With all the bass clubs that fish it one would think there would be more posted on this forum. Guess people don't what to give up their secrets.
