We have a bunch od Smithville guys on here and a few that do fish from the bank. I believe "cook" had a good day off the bank earlier this week but not sure where he was at.

As a fellow Smithville bank fisherman, hearing about Cook's success this week inspired me to head out this afternoon.

I fished for a couple of hours around Crow's Creek using minnows (even threw a roostertail & rattletrap briefly) and didn't have any luck at all. The wind was absolutely BRUTAL.

Even though you only caught shorts, trust me, you had a much better day than I did.

I would love to know where Cook has been fishing up there.

I got no problem sharing-fishing under the bridge by the free ramp at Plattsburg...had another great day..just wanted to check it out on the way to the farm to cut more wood.Ended up sticking around for 2 hours...10-12...caught close to 100 and at least 20 whites..ain't trying to brag...but I've been posting for 3 weeks exactly where and how..its a no brainer.
Cold front and windier moving in fri.,so I don't know how it will be.
PM a fone # if ya want more info,I ain't got a problem sharing.

cantcatchcrappie Is that you Scott good to hear you got out . Cook can help you out from the bank , He can most likely put you on some cats to.

Cook sounds like you are on a good bite there. Thanks for sharing with the other guys up there. I remember my bank fishing days before I got my first boat and it can be tough most of the year. So a little help is always nice. Congrats for your last few days of catching and thanks for sharing the info so others may catch a few.

Cook,

Thanks so much for the info ... bank fishing for crappie at Smithville is a very learning experience to say the least. I sent you a PM, but here's the jist of it ...

I don't mean to sound like an idiot, but I'm not that familiar with the North end of the lake. When you say the free ramp/bridge by Plattsburg .. is that the ramp/bridge on 240th?

I'm just starting to learn Smithville Lake and would love to meet up with you someday.

Great report youre sharing there Cook. I know the guys appreciate it. Nothing quite like one fisherman helping out another when he's struggling.

I have a boat,but honestly its just easier to park and walk 50 foot and be on the fish,no fighting the wind.
