Ryan Miloshewski Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Been fishing Truman the last few weekends. It's honestly been pretty brutal with the wind. We have been catching them, though. The cold fronts have them moving constantly it seems. Most of the keeper fish are in the mouths of creeks in 15-20 FOW, about 10 ft down. As soon as you get into the creek arms, it is dink city. Color doesn't seem to matter much, but monkey milk, orange/chartreuse, and bone have been good. We have been using 1/4-oz and 3/16-oz jig heads to get down quickly with the wind. Some fish crush the jig if you get it anywhere near them, others you have to knock them on the head and slowly pull it away. Hopefully we get some rain and warmer weather to move the keepers back up into the creeks. Water temp was 54 yesterday, with shallower areas showing 57. Got this one yesterday--biggest crappie ever landed at 15-inches and 2.2-lbs. Let her go so she could spawn. That was fun! bfishn, fishinwrench, Bubfisher and 12 others 14 1 “To those devoid of imagination a blank place on the map is a useless waste; to others, the most valuable part.”--Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean every single day! 🙄 I'm young, but I agree. It has been so brutal every single day, right until dark and past. Makes it very hard to enjoy fishing. I caught that fish and just hung up the rod. fishinwrench 1 “To those devoid of imagination a blank place on the map is a useless waste; to others, the most valuable part.”--Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of smaller eaters out there that one can catch. rps, slabseeker and trythisonemv 3 “To those devoid of imagination a blank place on the map is a useless waste; to others, the most valuable part.”--Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
