Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Pomme De Terre 05/15/05:

A couple of patterns working well on Pomme right now; Carolina rigging lizards, centipedes and finesse worms is accounting for good numbers of fish on pea gravel flats and points near deep water. Work the bait slowly from 6' - 20' feet pay attention to where you are getting most of your bites and then concentrate at that depth. The river bite is beginning to pick up with buzz baits and top waters working early and late around timbered points, as the day goes on switch over to an Eakins' flippin jig with a chomper jig trailer and work the log jams and channel swings carefully.

The crappie bite is still hit or miss, I have talked to a couple people that killed them one day and couldn't get bit the next, try 2" grubs, squirts and live minnows near spawning areas.
