Thread: Jacomo report

Hey guys, I just saw this post. The $24 is well worth it considering you can fish all of the Jackson County lakes. You can pick one up at the Ranger Station off of Woods Chapel and I believe Ligget Rd. Anyway I haven't been out for a week or so so I'm itching to get a line wet where ever. Always looking to catch good bluegills and red ears. I did pretty good on bluegill at Maple Leaf Conservation lake this time last year so planning to check it out maybe this week. I will post if I go.

I live in Cass so they invert the numbers for us.

Not a whole lot of places to put in a Yak at Jacomo other than the boat ramps or the beach. Most yakkers put in at the main boat ramp. There is a nice pea gravel bank next to the courtesy dock on the south side of the ramp. Tuesday evenings there are often 20+ yaks cruising the waters of Jacomo. Haven't seen any of them fish just paddling around.

Weather looks good for Saturday! Should be a good time.

Hey did you guys make it out to Jacomo Saturday? Just wondering how you did? I haven't been out there yet this year but was thinking about hitting it perhaps this coming weekend. Mr Duncan I was intrigued by your thought that they weren't on the banks "yet" which tells me you think the spawn has yet to happen at Jacomo? With the fishing I did at Priarie Lee this spring I thought the spawn would have passed by now. You know more about the Jackson County lakes then I do though, so I'm thinking about hitting Jacomo this weekend, especially if you think the spawn is about to happen or is happening right now. Nice looking yak by the way!!

Well, lets just say I was wrong about the spawn.... kcbrown said some of the females he had were spent. We spent several hours on both Jacomo, and Blue Springs. Once again the wind was up. I think most of what I did was exercise, while I watched kcbrown catch catfish, bluegill, bass, and crappie. I can now predict that before long the summer pattern will be on.

The wind was pretty nasty both days. No real pattern, or scattered might be the best description. The yak was a lot of fun, and I look forward to many trips in it this year.

Those were two tough days. Good outing all the same. The channel cats were on fire. I think I caught six between the two days. Healthy lakes, everything I caught was chunky and good condition. Looking forward to learning more about them.

Bput time to start fishing the steeper brushpiles at Jacomo. For trollers use bandit 300 cranks.
