Fishing Report 5/5

Recommended Posts

Well, this may be the worst fishing report I've ever written.

Report in Friday's Spgfld News-Leader said crappie

were hitting everything in Gravois arm so I met a buddy there Sat morn.

Well, that's NOT what happened.

Water temps 70+ degrees.

Too warm for spawning crappie.

Put in at Coffman Beach off Rt. Y.

Bogue Bay crystal clear. I've never seen it that clear before.

Visability down 10 feet or so. Crappie spawn was over!

But we did catch several nice bass as they are bedding.

And snakes.....saw enough of those for a lifetime.

Spoke to several other fishermen and they were doing well fishing for bass.

We then traveled up Indian Creek and found water that wasnt so clear.

Thought we'd give it a try.

Well, all we found up there were some boats full of topless gals. :blink:

Probably scared off the fish cause we didnt catch much up there.

Went back to Bogue Bay and bass fished.

Caught several just under 15" so the trip was fun anyway.

Highlight of trip was we stopped at Hillbilly Heaven up Gravois arm

for some gas and food. Real nice folks & very hospitable.

They cooked us some excellent burgers.....

otherwise, we mighta starved to death! ha :lol:

Thanks to the gang at HH.

Used to fish Lake of Ozarks alot. But it wasnt like this.

The large boats sure had the water rough! Dont know when I'll be back.

All-in-all...........

Caught plenty of sun, saw some topless sunbathers, snakes galore, and even caught a few bass. Sure beat planting schrubs!
