Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Pomme De Terre 10/22/04 :

The cooler weather has the fish in a bit of a transition, there are some smaller fish that have moved to the backs of creeks and pockets and are chasing shad while the bigger fish have moved up on points and are holding pretty tight to any brush or wood cover they find. If you want to catch numbers of fish head to the backs of the coves and throw a spinnerbait or shallow running crankbait through the shad, if you are looking for better quality fish move out to points and fish any wood cover on or around the point with an Eakins' jig or Jewel 5/8 oz. football jig both with a twin tailed grub trailer.

Crappie are moving a little shallower with most of the fish coming off of wood cover in 10'-15' on minnows and swimmin' minnows.
