Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Pomme De Terre 12/23/05:

The water is cold and the bite has slowed on Pomme, an Eakins’ jig is by far your best bet, brown, Missouri craw or black / blue flash have all been good choices based on water color. Most of the fish are coming out of the deeper brush piles on points and drops in creek arms and on the main lake. With the fish being as deep as 25’ deep allot of guys are switching to a Jewel 5/8 oz. football jig with a Chomper 4” jig trailer, the only concern is to watch you speed with the football jig, it is heavier so don’t speed up while keeping bottom contact.

Most of the crappie re being caught over brush with white 2” squirts, live minnows and tri-color grubs have all been effective.
