What a wonderful way to go Grandpa, looks like those kids are really pleased with the outing. That is what family is about!

Kinda of a late report, but went to Mozingo yesterday and found fishing tough.
Took my son along as our fishing together will end this month as he is moving back
to Tucson. Caught 10 fish between...

Sounds like you had the same experience that I had earlier in the week. We did end up with 12 keepers but they were just over 9" and a couple 10's. The rest were all dinks. I am like you I do not...

No white bass.

Went to Smihville this morning, not an early start though. Caught 9 Jillion dinks, don't know exactly how many that is but to many either way. After getting settled down we did catch 15 keepers,...

Which pier on W bridge? JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't anything else to do!

Does anyone know what is going on at Smithville, any open water and are any of the ramps open?
Getting cabin fever and I'm thinking the crappie are getting restless.

I must admit I don't know Alex but this really cracked me up as I got on here this morning looking for a report on Smithville. Love it when we have fun telling stories
Just so you will know I spent...

Good post on the braided line. I likewise use braided and tie directly to the jig.. Love how sensitive it is and most of the time I can get it out of the brush.

Knowing that Smithville was mostly free of ice Sunday, my buddy and I headed down yeterday for
some crappie actions. Got down to the lake and found it covered with a layer of ice. We are...

I did make it out this morning, put in at W, broke a little ice. Ice was pretty well gone when I left the lake. Wish I couild give you a better report but the catching was not good for me. Two...

It was a beautiful day on Smithville, fishing was good, catching was not good. Two crappie, both back in the lake. Visited with several others on the lake and it sounded like the fish have lockjaw....

Hey billd2626 thanks for the come back. Got my boat ready for some fishing in the morning, hope there is some catching also.

Let me know what you find out, it would be a distance just to drive down there, now if I had my boat behind me I wouldn't mind if the water was open.

wanting to get back out on Smithville. Does anyone know if it is iced up around the ramps or on the main lake.

I have been getting Crappie world for the last three years. Have not had a problem with the subscription so far. Good reading, but bet there are other that are good also.

Our prayers go up for the family.

Beagle man, thanks for the reply, sure wouldn't question your judgement. Going through the ice years ago was poor judgement on my part, to long a story to tell.
Last two years the ice up here has...

I just talked with MO. Dept of conservation, they still are not recomending getting on the ice in this area. She said that was the report from two days ago that she had not a report for today. I...

Don't know where my comments went too, as I already posted this once, pushed the wrong button I guess. I'm itching to check out the ice, I do know all this snow will not help as it becomes an...

I do know it had more ice and thicker than Smithvile just a few days ago, that is the reason we decided to fish Smithville the last few days. It always seems to freeze up before Smithville. Oh, I...

Hats off to you guys fishing yesterday, you are a tough lot. I have fished that kind of weather but not in the mood yesterday. Stayed home and enjoyed my recliner and coffee.

Good to hear someone was catching fish. Better than we did the day before, just couldn't get much going.

Ice was up in shady cove north of w bridge. We did fish Sail boat cove a bit. Ice all around w ramp and the bridge, so couldn't fish the piers. I am guessing after all that wind yesterday that the...

Yes it would!

Fishing Smithville yesterday was tough. Two nice keepers and three shorts right off the bat, after that not a fish. Just put them all back to catch another day. As you all probably already know...

Cook, I really appreciate the reply, if the weather holds I will certainly try and get back out.

Just wondering if anyone was at Smithville lake today and would know the condition of the lake and the ramps.

Not sure what I am doing on this posting, but just want to say thanks for the great post on condition of Smithville lake. Sure saves me a extra drive to see what is going on. Maybe week you will...

I appreciate the reports on the ramps. I have not been down to Smithville in a while. I was also concerned how open the water is or what area it might be open, if someone could report on that I...
