Windy day on Truman

[Jigging15]

Had a quick last minute trip today. Fished from 11:45 to 3 and fought the wind the whole time. Weeded through a 150 or so small fish in the 8"-10" range. We were fishing from 2' out to 8' picthing bobbers again up a creek to come up with 30 good ones. Really tested out the new Ultrex trolling motor today. SpotLock and jog feature make it so easy in the wind. Hit spot lock and cast bobbers. Then just hit the button once to move ahead 5 feet or if needed hit it 4 times and moves you ahead 20 feet. Same for left and right. Then you have the freedom to move around the boat instead of leaving your foot on the trolling motor pedal the whole time. Best investment I have made for fishing.

I'm thinking I better bring my boat back to town... my part of LOZ hasn't been that productive.

Truman is on fire. Even on the lake fishing flats like its summer time. Rigging bite is starting with the shad pushing in to the mouths of the creeks and coves.

I hope the fire continues after the cold snap commences. I won't be able to fish until then...which seems to be my usual situation. I always "shoulda been here last week".

Sincere thanks for advising there is a crappie bite. Too often you hear how it was and rarely how the crappie bite is. Was able to get out with my dad and my son and catch a mess today. Thanks man.

Glad we could be of a little help. Sounds like the 3 generations all got to enjoy some fishing. Congrats.
