Truman Saturday 8-3-13

[triton186]

Wife, son and I made trip to Truman (Bucksaw) after the rain. Fished stumps in 20 fow to about 6 fow. Turned out to be a beautiful day. Found shad is large concentrations but could not seem to get the crappie to cooperate. Got out the cast net for some bait and set out a few jugs on a flat about 16 feet deep and caught 6 nice blues between 7- 10 pounds each. First time jugging for my son and he seemed to think it made for easy fishing. Almost like going to the grocery store. Going to have a nice fish fry tonight. I'll try to remember the camera next time.

Sounds like a great trip with the family even if the crappie did not cooperate.

It's share hard to beat a mess of fresh catfish, and a hole lot of fun following a few jugs around the lake.

Good job getting the family out on the water. We were out on sat as well and and only ended up with 5 keeper crappie. I'm about to give up on summer Truman crappie I'm ready for some cold weather.

I finally got back out myself. We tried stumps, clumps, cedars, rigging, flipping, begging, everything but gigging. Two crappie worth keeping. Did the same, netted some of the 99 billion 2" shad swarming around and drifted a 10' flat and boated six nice blues and two channel in no time.
