Hello, first time poster in the Missouri forums.
The last 3 years during spawn my brother, I and a few friends have been getting a cabin at Lake Sugema in southeast Iowa.
We`ll be doing the same this year although now Sugema has a gizzard shad problem. The DNR has applied chemicals to the lake to kill the gizzard shad but we are now weary of harvesting any fish from this great fishery.
Long story short, we are looking for other crappie fisheries. We`ve never traveled to missouri to fish but are within 10 miles from the missouri border.
Anyone have any leads on any good crappie lakes in which to launch a boat that is anywhere within an hour or 2 drive from lake Sugema?
We have our cabin from May 16 thru the 20th.
Lake Sugema, where we will be located is just south of Keosauqua Iowa 15 minutes from Farmingtom on the Des Moines river and a little over a half hour from Keokuk Iowa
I`ve heard mention of a lake near Wyconda that had loads of fish, but I`m trying to get my buddy to get me more specifics on this lake.
