Missouri Lakes Fishing Report

Lake - Pomme De Terre 02/09/07:

Most of the main lake is ice free, if you are planning on going to Pomme plan on launching on the lower end since most of the ramps on the upper end are iced in. Most of the fish being caught are relating to bluffs and bluff ends; jigs and jerkbaits have been the best presentations. A Smithwick Rogue in clown or chrome / black or Lucky Craft Pointer in American shad or Nishiki fished parallel to the bluff will result in a few fish each day as long as you fish it slow enough, allowing the bait to pause for as long as 45 seconds is critical to drawing strikes from the sluggish bass. A Jewel ½ oz. heavy cover finesse football jig in brown / purple flash fished from ledge to ledge will also result in a few strikes everyday, just like the jerkbait fish it slow to get results.
