Thread: New guys

I've actually been following the board off and on since January, but became more interested in late summer. I live in Balllwin, and do my fishing at LOZ from the docks on the north shore at about the 1.5 mile marker. This year I plan to branch out to other LOZ areas and maybe try some other lakes as time and travel permits. I've been around long enough to be on my second order of slab busters. I've learned alot in a short period of time thanks to you guys. Looking forward to some more 40-50 degreee days real soon.

i fish a small lake in n missouri( wife says i should just move there) i fish every weekend fri-sun since its 11/2 hrs away i stay all weekend. the fishing is great 9-15" crappie all day long.
i have a 16 foot old old semi v 25 hp so i dont take it on the bigger lake around kc ( chicken****) i fish jigs mostly but really love the spoons, enjoy slow trolling tubes and spoons and have lots of luck, never have fished loz or truman but would love to try it.!!
in the winter i fish the dock at lake jacomo (kc) mainly at nite .

i freak out if my crappie stash gets below 20 bags or so
i would enjoy hookin up with some of you guys to fish and learn more. if anyone would like to try my honey hole up north (bethany,mo) let me know would enjoy having ay up

I'm at the 35 MM - condo. There are 2 large docks with a third in progress - the fishing isn't bad - looking forward to hitting it hard now through the spring - I've heard the crappie are good around it. I think some of the newer owners have sunk some trees around their slips!!!

I am from Liberty, fished crappie growing up (and catfish) - usually in the summer stick to casting around for bass and trying to get some catfish. I catch EVERYTHING on Blakemore Roadrunners - but plan on calling Jack (I think that's the name and number i've seen on here) to get some slabbusters to try.

I may not get down this weekend with the forecast - but next weekend looks pretty good. I hope - my fever is UP!!!

If you ever get down this way and want to try loz give me a yell...i'm always game.

I primarily (last 20 years) fish out of the Bucksaw area at Truman - from Otter Creek to Finney Creek. Also have fished Tally Bend quite a few times. Used to fish Mark Twain alot, and still go whenever I hear that the fish are good sized. Have been on Thomas hill alot of times, mostly during the winter. Have fished LOZ some, but I don't know it as well as I'd like. (Practice,practice,practice). I love dipping timber with 9 1/2 rod a guy made me, throwing sliders, and fishing jigs under bobbers in the spring. Love to fish in the spring, but my favorite time on Truman is the winter. I fish out of a grey Fisher Marine 18 1/2 aluminum boat with a Yamahammer 115. It's a great boat, but it's pretty old (1990). It has really held up well depite hard use. Just got some slab busters from Jack and am looking forward to using them. I've always fished "glow jigs - 2" - they've got really bright colors and work great. Fished a day with MBaker throwing jerk baits and did pretty well - he kicked my ass - good jerkbait fisherman, but I'm gonna try to even the score with him on Grenada. If you're ever down in the Bucksaw Corps campground from mid March through mid May, a group of my buddies and I are usually there on Loop A, down close to the water. A bunch a old drunk crappie catching fools with campers in sites A-74 or so - you'll see a sign that says "Brownetown". We've kind of laid claim to that portion of the loop over the last several years - the camp attendants know us - we give them fillets. If you're in the area at that time of year, or in August - October, come pay us a visit. There's always cold beer, crown and stories, and you're welcome to share my beer, crown and bull**** any time.

thanks guys you all make the call .... have rod's will travel !!!!!!!
