Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Pomme De Terre 02/27/06:

The water temp has rebounded a little bit on Pomme since last week. The bite on the main lake closer to the dam is still your best bet with Rouges and Pointers fished on windy mixed rock point and banks producing some nice fish over the weekend. Chrome / black, clown or American shad have all been top producers on sunny while Table Rock shad and chartreuse shad are better on cloudy days. A good back up pattern has been fishing an Eakins’ jig and craw combo on main lake and creek arm ledge banks, brown / black with a green pumpkin trailer has been the best color, fish it slowly from the bank down to as deep as 25’ deep to get bit.

Crappie fishing is still hit or miss, best bet has been live bait fished over marked brush piles with a float.
