Below Truman Dam????

[shockley32]

Anyone fish below Truman dam on Sunday or Monday?? Are they still biting or have things cooled off?

How about on Truman?

Thanks,

Brad

My partner and I went below the dam this morning. Probably our 7th trip there this year. Got there at 7:30 and only 10-12 boats. When we left at 11:30 probably 40 boats. We caught 18 keepers and alot of little ones. More little ones than in the past, but still some nice slab keepers. We had most success using jigs tipped with minnows. There are still some good fish there, but catching them has become a little more difficult, Good Luck.

Welcome to the board. Where are you located Bob.

Thanks for the report. We caught two limits by 9:30 this morning. You did have to work through the dinks to get the good ones, however we had 30 very nice crappie, most were 11". If we counted correctly we had 152 fish in 3 1/2 hours.

Fish were 12-15' deep in 17' of water. We used minnows and jigs. We caught more dinks on minnows, very, very light tap. We used red / chart slab slayrs, very light tap.

Good fishing to all - go get some while the getting is good!

I believe I would be walking the bank on the slack water side and try to catch a few of those big spawning females too. Good luck.

The banks looked like a trout park! Every 10 feet or so. I saw a few people catching fish from the bank, however they were few and far between. We were fishing a lot farther out in deeper water, the bank fisherman couldn't throw far enough to get to where the majority of the fish were. If you head up there good luck!
