That name sounds familiar but the Steadmans were my connection to the lake. Friends with my dad and some of his friends from before they came to Missouri. I stayed at their house a lot or they would let me have a cabin in they weren’t full. Charlene would always save me back some biscuits & gravy on tournament mornings. She would even bring them out to the boat. Great people. MOPanfisher 1

There used to be be some pretty large beds of contain up in Martins Flats, but that was what back in the 80s when it all died out.
Members BFScott Posted July 3, 2020 Author Members Posted July 3, 2020 Used to be a lot from Bolivar landing to wheatland. You could catch fish just about every cast back then. Not very many big one but lots of quantity.
Members BFScott Posted July 3, 2020 Author Members Posted July 3, 2020 I remember a 83 tournament that my brother in law and I fished we sat on one spot and caught 101 keepers in 101 cast. They were just 13-13 1/2inches. Sounds crazy but that’s the way it was back then. 13-14” fish everywhere. If someone caught a 4 pounder it was an aww moment😮
Members BFScott Posted July 3, 2020 Author Members Posted July 3, 2020 Mo you’re right on when the A-rig came out it was wacking big fish. Seems to of calmed down a bit now. Think the fish are getting used to it but big limits sill get caught with it. I caught my pomme personal best on it. 9.12lb the one next to it is 6.51lb nomolites and MOPanfisher 2
