Truman 8/17 - 8/19

[mongo82]

Went to Truman Tuesday and put in at state park, couldn't ask for better weather, over cast and in the 70's, problem was couldn't find any fish ( keepers ) We did finally catch a few on a brush pile in 16' of water down 8'. Went out Wednesday to mile long bridge ( to get out of sun it was HOT ) and caught limit of 10 1/2 to 11" . Tried again Thursday morning at bridge didn't have much luck, heat was worse. Don't know how some of you do it ( the heat ) We used minnows with niblets mostly down around 10 - 12 ft.

Highway 7 on the osage ( Shawnee Bend Area ) Fish congregate on the bridge pilings, some are better than others, and some days there not there, at least I can't catch them some days. There was a dive team checking out piling stucture and told us there was a big root wad down in deep water ( I thought they said 60 ) and the fish where hanging right above at 20 ft. Never could find it! Anyway it's usally a good place to catch keepers 10 - 12 mostly 10's, good eating fish
