Maverickpro201 Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Anybody been to Mark Twain lately. My fishing friend and I are thinking about making a run up there, Saturday for a day trip. Any Bass biting ?
Maverickpro201 Posted October 15, 2022 Author Posted October 15, 2022 Decided to go to Lake Egypt tomorrow and save Mark Twain for Friday or Sunday next week. Will let you know how we did tomorrow on Monday.

It isn't that they don't fish it....... it's that they seldom do very well, and would rather forget the time/effort they wasted. That's a lake that should never have been impounded. The rivers it ruined were way better fisheries than the lake will ever be. And the land it flooded was prime farm land, and hunting grounds. awhuber, Greasy B and grizwilson 3

Well we should have went to Mark Twain. We always do well there as we have the Twain pretty much figured out. It can be tough for most though. Lake Egypt was the worse day we have had over there. And after talking to others over there, we were not alone. No rain for several month's and 2 ft low. Just do not know what is going on. Daryk Campbell Sr 1

Maverickpro201 Posted October 22, 2022 Author Posted October 22, 2022 Well we got back from Mark Twain about 9pm last night. We had a good day, not great but good. Had a limit, maybe 12lbs, in the boat. Caught 14 fish all keepers, no dinks yesterday. Had 1, I went to hoist into the boat that would have gone a good 4 lbs, but the line broke in the hoisting. I knew better than to do it, but my partner is slowing in his age. Biggest fish was right at 3lbs. Some were caught on a square bill and the rest on worms, Texas rig. Saw a lot of shad in the coves, from the front of them to the backs of coves. Nothing boiling on them though. There were lot of crappie fisherman out and most were catching and not just fishing from what they told us. Lake is at least 6 ft low. water temperature was 56 to 58* All and all, Was a super nice day. Think Wappapella next week or the 1st week of November. fishinwrench, trouty mouth, Daryk Campbell Sr and 1 other 3 1
jdmidwest Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Nice report. Wapappello might be tougher. Low water this time of year. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Maverickpro201 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Posted October 24, 2022 Midwest, I have not looked at Wapappello level, but someone told me it was at normal level right now
