Members KC Steve Posted April 24, 2018 Members Posted April 24, 2018 Headed camping this weekend in Nemo- any reports on crappie and if they’re on the bank or depth?
Members Alaskageek Posted April 24, 2018 Members Posted April 24, 2018 I will also be coming over from Colorado for my Father/Son Turkey hunting/Fishing trip this weekend and staying for a week. Planning on fishing Pomme and Truman.... maybe some Table Rock. Been trying to keep up with this Forum as well as the Truman Lake and Table Rock ones. Seems like most of the post have been about Bass fishing, which seems to be doing ok, a little hit a miss but thats fishing. Haven't seen any good reports on White Bass, which sucks as if my research is right, they should BE spawning or have just finished spawning. Have seen some post were guys have had good days on crappie, but doesn't sound like the spawn is going strong yet, and the crappie seem to be in pre-spawn pattern, moving between 6 to 20 Fow and suspending 3-15 foot down. Water temps still seem a bit low, 50 - 55 degrees. Water clarity seems to be ok, a bit stained and changes daily depending on rain and dam runoff, location on the lake. Again, this is all based on "reading" and not at all on actual fishing. Hope some of the members that are lucky enough to actually be fishing, will jump on this one and give some current info about Crappie and White Bass (even some catfish would be appreciated). MOPanfisher is the man and I hoping he'll throw in his two cents worth! Hope to see you on the lake KC Steve, although I have never been over to the Lindley side, always seem to stick to the Wheatland/Lightfoot landing side of Pomme, but I'm hoping to be able to do more exploring since it's just my son and I and we will be in our fishing boat, not the big Slow (but fun) pontoon.
packersooner Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Hey there Steve. I got out with my daughter last Friday and couldn't really figure them out. We mainly fished up the lake from Nemo. We fished typical pre-spawn timber and brush piles and could only manage four keepers and a handful of shorts. I fished jigs and she fished minnows. We tried anywhere from 2 to 14 fow. Water temps ranged from 54 to 56 degrees. Maybe someone else has had better luck! Jason Alaskageek 1
Ranger520vx Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 A friend of mine and his wife said they found a spot and were catching crappie one after another right on the bank this morning on the Pomme side. Alaskageek 1
MOPanfisher Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Crappie are hit or miss right now. Upstream where it's warmer seems to be better. Get a couple warm days without a north wind or cold front and it will just get better. Some good fish and plenty of shorts too. Little bass were the big annoyance for me tonight, couldn't keep them off the jig. Did get a reliable report that LOZ is going strong right now, it always starts first there, but it on the other side of the world from my house. Alaskageek 1

Thanks MoPanfisher....... when you say "upstream" what does that mean in a lake? Can't say I know much about how a river flows through a lake due to mostly being a River Rat up until this point, but I would imagine on Pomme things flow towards the dam? I have been hearing good things about LOZ lately, seems like pitching docks is producing, and there are no shortage of docks in LOZ. :-)
Ranger520vx Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 No problem hope your turkey hunting and fishing are productive for you when you are down Alaskageek. Also let me Know a day when you're going to be out on Pomme and I will try to get out there and meet up with you. That also goes for you too KC Steve. don't Alaskageek 1

Will be on the road in just over 48hrs. Will definitely chat you up and let you know when we are going to be on Pomme, chances are good that we'll be around on the Wheatland side come Sunday evening, as long as there isn't anything big wrong with the fishing boat. Last weather check seems to predict a nice evening on Sunday. grizwilson 1
oneshot Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 I'm planning on fishing over there next week. Suppose to be warm and Lake is holding steady so should be good. oneshot Alaskageek 1
Ranger520vx Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 My boy and a friend of his went for a couple hours fishing from the bank and caught their limit of crappie in the back of a cove on the Pomme side. grizwilson and Alaskageek 2
