Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Pomme De Terre 01/20/06:

Basically two patterns are effective on Pomme right now; on windy days a stick bait and on calm days a jig. For the stick bait look for flat, windy mixed rock banks on both the main lake and in the major creek arms and use chrome colored baits on sunny days and chartreuse accented baits on cloudy ones. The jig bite is from 10’ – 25’ deep on main lake and major creek arm chunk rock points and swings. Look for isolated pieces of cover on these banks and make multiple casts to each piece of cover.

Crappie fishing continues to be strong, look for most of the fish to be suspended around 10’ deep over 20’ + of water in and around wood.
