Missouri Trip

[crappiencali]

Well unfortunately I had to get back to California and leave Missouri. Did really well on LOZ and Truman. BUGMAN we need to get together and catch some fish. Caught a lot of nice fish and made some really good friends while I was out there. Now I have to wait until October to get back home. But that comes with the job. THanks for all the help from all ya'll. It helped me out when things got slow. Hope to get back and fish with a few of ya.

Give me the details John,i know the weather was against you i didnt fish at all this weekend the rain was bad enough but that wind was horrible.

Friday we picked up a few trolling along the bluffs about 12 MM. Then about 2 when it started raining we went up to a breakwall near the community bridge and got into some very nice crappie just flipping near the wall. We caught all we could and most were 11" or better in about an hour. got soaked but caught fish. Most were females. Saturday it was very windy but we had traveled 10 hours to be there so we fished. Much slower but still picked up some nice fish and worked for them but did OK although we all didn't limit.

Got most of them on Yums wooly beavertail 2" and I will post pictures after I get them developed tomorrow.
