Thread: Fishing Jacomo tomorrow

I've lived in Seattle most of my life, so while I've fished a ton, I'm new to Missouri fishing and trying to learn how to catch crappie. I've fished the north handicap dock a few times and done alright, and Sunday I tried fishing from my inflatable raft for a couple hours without any luck. I launched at Lake Jacomo Marina and tried casting jigs around structure in the first two coves south of there without any luck other than one possible bite. Surface temp was 62 degrees.

I don't know what to make of this weather, what with a snow storm a few weeks ago and nearly 90 degrees tomorrow. Since I'm rowing an inflatable raft, I can't really go trolling up and down the whole lake -- especially with ~15 mph winds tomorrow. Any tips on where to try on Jacomo tomorrow? I can't figure out where or how deep I'm supposed to be looking for them right now. Thanks!

Thanks so much! Wind was a major pain, just over 20 mph... while rowing an inflatable raft with a second person in it! Got to one of the coves and anchored in a few different spots from around 4-8 PM, though. Between the two of us, we caught two small bluegills, a couple even smaller crappie, and NEARLY got a catfish. Fought it for around 20 minutes on 4 lb line, saw it a couple times, and then finally it either bit through the line or the knot came undone Conservatively speaking though, it was easily 2-3 feet. That was intense with such light line!

Next up... a trolling motor. That, or scheduling my days off around the wind.
