Well, inspired by Marks pics and posts, I made the trip up. I am sad to say prolly wont be going again, at least not on a weekend. For a moment I was confused and thought I actually had somehow gone too far up the turnpike and ended up in the Joplin Walmart parking lot. But no, it WAS twin bridges! I'm telling you, it made Crowder in the spring look, well... uncrowded. It wasn't bad Friday evening and it kinda sucked me in, but I should have known better. I left Tulsa Friday at 130 pm, on the water at 3:45 with about 10 trucks in the parking lot at Twin Bridges which I thought was odd for a weekday, but someone said they were sand bass fishing. Drove around for 2 hours checking out the river. I Picked a spot to settle into and did well. Caught 14 good fish between 1.25 and 1.75 LBS with no small ones. I stayed until 9 pm. It was a different kind of bite. I did best drifting with the current speed along the lay downs. If you were above a lay down and were going current speed you wouldn't go 15 feet without a hit. Unfortunately that didnt click in my head until 8 pm and it was getting cold. I thought I would just pick up were I left off in the morning, Ha! I knew I was in trouble when I launched before dawn and 10 boats had already beat me. By 9 am I was surrounded by 14 boats (yes, I counted them). With so much motoring around and jostling for position I couldnt drift like I wanted or hold still with out bobbing up and down like a cork. So I went on the search again but I could not find an area that had fish but not boats. There were 2 areas I found that had fish but were mobbed, each had around 10 -20 boats all crowded together. There were only a few that were sand bass fishing. Those Missouri boys fish tight! It was like fishing the roaring river for trout. I could only catch 4 decent fish in several hours. Left early. Those fish did not take a shine to all the boat traffic. I may fish it again but I will make sure its at night or call ahead about the crowds.Attachment 228382Attachment 228392
