Smalliebigs Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 I went fishing, I used a lure. The fish ate my lure and I went home. Daryk Campbell Sr, Gavin, nomolites and 4 others 7
Al Agnew Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 I love spotted bass where they belong, and it's sad that they have been such a disaster to smallmouth in the Meramec system (and the Gasconade, for that matter). Yup, they ARE fun on topwater...I was on upper Big River day before yesterday and caught 28 of them on top...along with 21 smallmouth and only 5 largemouth. I hate it that they now outnumber the smallmouth up there.

I don’t know many people catching as many Spots over 18 inches like I am. They are fun but, a menace.

But from Leadwood downstream they now outnumber smallmouth, or at least that's how the numbers of those I catch shake out most days. The Leadwood low water bridge is the final barrier to upstream spread of spots, and it's mostly held for many years.
Mitch f Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Most of the bigger spots I’ve caught were between Cooks Station and River Round. Gavin 1 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
FishnDave Posted August 29, 2021 Posted August 29, 2021 Those are awesome fish! I'm ready for the Part 2-Hybrids! 😁
