Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Pomme De Terre 04/23/06:

Pomme is pretty active right now; early and late several keeper size fish can be caught on pop-r’s and other top water baits, through out the day Carolina rigged lizards and brush hogs are working on points and ledges, in the dam area several fish are locked onto beds and can be caught with tubes and lizards and on windy days both shallow crankbaits and spinnerbaits are working on wind blown mixed rock banks and points.

Crappie are spawning as well and can be found in less than 10’ of water on flat gravel banks and pockets, 1/8 oz. Jigs in most colors will work fine.

Report #2

Weather hasn't effected the fishing much.The bass are still on the beds. Over the past couple of weeks the green crud has broken loose from the bottom and some of the places have a lot of it floating which makes fishing a little harder. Jigs and wacky worms seem to be the best lures however we have caught several nice fish on a black and white wiggle wart.

Crappie seem to be best on minnows. I really can't say if they have spawned yet. Caught lots of males which probably means they have spawned. Loys of musky follows. Throw a spinnerbait and you will see one. Should be much nicer weather than the summer we had last week.
