Finally got into the crappie on the lower Osage
Went to the MariOsa this evening since the weather was decent after the storms passed. Bass fished from 3:00-4:00 and didn't catch much so I decided to try for crappie. From 4:00-5:30 I caught 25 crappie and kept 23. Most were right at 9". The biggest was 14". They were swarming around a big brush pile and I just rigged a couple spinning rods and slowly drifted with the wind and then trolled back upwind and just kept repeating. The best color was black/chart but also caught a couple on white/chart and blue/white.
Fish are cleaned and now I"m heading to a friends for new years eve celebrations and frying up my catch. Can't wait to start chowing down!

The storms made the shop a muddy mess and I dumped them out to count them. I threw them in a bucket with some clean water to wash em off before I cleaned them.
The brush was in 13' and fish were biting the jigs about 5' down.
Keeper
I used to catch em' up in the Maries River, just around the 1st bend. I also caught a few walleye in the deep water right out from the mouth. I grew up on the lower Osage. Good Luck.

Nice job. Although I don't live far, I've never fished around Mari-osa for crappie. We've blundered into them around lock and dam. Do you fish it for sauger too?
Jim - Have boat - will travel.
Keeper
I used to hammer the sauger down at the mouth of the Osage and up along the rocks above Bonnots Mill on the railroad (east) side of the river. Once in a while you'll hook into a big flathead cat there also.

Nice mess of fish but I think I'da threw them in a bucket or something instead of throwing 'em in the mud.:rolleyes::D Congrats on the catch.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
