Looking for some Crappie fishing around Ft Leonard Wood

[whitten1823]

A buddy of mine is stationed at Ft Leonard Wood and is looking for some places that have Crappie. Thanks for any tips!!

Lake of the Ozarks is the closest lake and offers fantastic crappie fishing. Plenty of people on here who fish that lake so I'll defer to them.

Right now it seem the bite is around the docks.. Look for 25 to 30 ft of water in front of docks.. they can be 12 to 18 ft down or even on the bottom...Jigs is what used in a several colors. But i use Purple/white, Red/chart, Blue/chart slab buster or Bobby garlands -Blue ice, cajun chicken baby shad.... Going out friday. let you know more then

X2 That worked last Saturday. There are a few resorts that have heated docks where you can pay to fish if he doesn't have a boat. Ft. Leonard Wood has a rec area on the Glaize arm off A highway that should have a boat ramp and fishing docks too.

Bloodland lake on Ft. Wood has good crappie also Little Prairie Lake inbetween Rolla and St. James is decent in the spring throws me for a loop the rest of the year though.

The Army Rec. (L.O.R.A.) , the base provides shuttles to and from , and the dock and bank fishing can be very good.
