Sounds like a fun filled trip was had.
Good deal
I really like pulling cranks but haven't caught much... plus LOZ rocks (the boat) too much to fish on weekends.
I put in at Shawnee bend at about 8:30. I had seen some interesting flats on the map on both sides of the bridge on the Osage just around the corner from the Shawnee access.
I was surprised to see 3 or 4 boats trolling in the area. I don't know what they were trying to catch but knew they knew a lot more than me. So, I still trolled my LOZ baits, I didn't catch a lot but I lost at least 4 good crappie right at the boat. I am not used to fishing with 8 1/2' rods.
So what did I actually catch? For starters I caught a 24" (Blue?) catfish, 1, 15" wiper, a 12" white bass, 3 crappies all over 10" and two shorts, plus at least 3 drums, plus all the fish I lost... to me equals a fine day on the water.
OH, BTW, I was in Wally World and saw a new crank bait I had never seen before. It was a Ricky Clunn #2, "Freak." Every fish I caught was either on that bait or a 300 pink Bandit (nary a hit on a 200 pink Bandit).

Nice report.
Way to go Hank. That is a good day of fishing in my book also.
Good day I'd say
I'll smoke just about anything (in my smoker)
The fishing is always great. The catching varies.
I was looking for you at Coffmans Bend on LOZ. Glad you found some thing to stretch the lines.
