Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Pomme De Terre 12/10/05:

The river bite continues to be tough and there is actually quite a bit of ice along the banks and rings on the trees. The better bite is on the main lake in the deep brush pile and on bluff ends. An Eakins’ jig, Jewel football jig or a tube fished in brush on steeper banks out to 25’ deep has been the most effective bite recently. If the wind is blowing throw a Norman deep little N or wiggle wart on 45 degree chunk rock banks and mixed rock points, most of the fish will be on the windy side of cover and points waiting to ambush bait this time of year.

Crappie fishing has slowed a little live minnows and silver/white squirts have been effective over wood 20’ deep.
