Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Pomme De Terre 11/12/05:

The bite up the river continues to be pretty good, a variety of reaction baits are working around the big schools of shad in the deep pools and channel bends, Jewel tandem rush spinnerbaits, keel banger buzz baits, rattle traps, Lucky Craft RC 1.5 and even a few fish on spooks and pop-r’s. Fish on the main lake are still being caught a little deeper on Eakins’ jigs in Missouri craw with a green pumpkin 4” jig trailer, Chomper green pumpkin Super sinkers Texas rigged with a ¼ oz weight and watermelon needle worms all fished in brush and other wood cover 6’ – 15’ deep.

Crappie fishing continues to improve; live minnows, 2” tubes and grubs will produce fish 15’ – 25’ deep over wood.
