Yes I catch blacks up there along bluffs this time of year and around some springs were the water is warmer. Get out there and find em brother they're usually pretty nice because no one fishes for crappie in the river.

My dad says there Crappie in the gasconade and he always says there nice if you can find em. That smalley fought nicely we catch and release them all the time.

Old smalley was peeling the drag off of the line. It took atleast a minute to get her in.

Great lookin fish ya got there. Niangua, holdy chit. Used to just bout live on the Niangua's, lived tween the big and little. Great fishin and away from the crowd. Good luck to ya.

Were you above the Tunnel Dam or below?

Always below tunnel dam. Great fishin in the spring. Also spent a lot of time on the little-fiery fork to the campground. Great white bass fishin, great smallmouth fishin and severall walleye. Love the area. Lived in Macks Creek- tween the big and little.
