Trophy King II
It's been a weird year on LoZ. A buddy of mine was catching them up shallow on the banks up the Osage arm weeks ago. He said the fish were gone this past weekend and thinks they already spawned out. I made one trip three weeks ago to PB2 and did well on brush piles in 12-15' of water. Two weeks ago, we fished below Truman Dam in the main channel and did decent on minnows in 20-30' of water right on the bottom. The crappie moved in closer to the banks the closer it got to dark. At dark, we were throwing right up on the bank and catching them. The biggest majority aren't catching them up shallow yet though. Hopefully that happens here soon because I want to get the fiance on some easy crappie before spring is over.

I hope it picks up. I've been down there several times this year. Haven't caught many. Girlfriend rented is a cottage in twin island cove for this weekend. I'm hoping they get with the program. I NEED her to catch some fish so she will understand why I gotta fish all the time.
Proof is in the pictures. Top is nine and bottom is Slabbenstein!

They are playing "hide and seek". They are VERY good at this game! You will only win WHEN they are ready for you to win! That was easy enough!!!
Crappie Wall Hanger II
I just got back from Stockton and it was very hard fishing- I attributed it to being on a new, clear lake (for me). I ended up catching a few fishing 2 feet deep over 15 feet of water in the middle of coves- that was a new one for me. Another guy in our group (and his wife), caught 17 keepers in a cove about a mile down from me fishing 4 feet deep (Monday). Tuesday was terrible fishing- our group only caught 3-all I could catch were bass. The weather was bad during almost my entire trip (Sat-Wed)- the cold wind, frontal conditions turned the crappie off. I can't wait for familiar water and better weather... I need to get my confidence back as well!
Minnow
Fished the Cape Fair area on Table Rock mostly, this spring. No limits, and no distinct honey holes. Plenty of 9"ers, but also some 12"-14" in there too. They seem to be on the brush piles, and not next to the pole timber. Slider/Swimming minnows preferred over tube jigs and/or minnows. Don't believe they have spawned yet, either. Going to give it another try this weekend. Keep after 'em, oldjack25
