I was in a boat. The points right under the bridge hold the most fish and balls of shad. The rocky point by the sailboat boat ramp is also a good spot, but bank fishing is restricted

Good report. Perry is a tough lake to figure out for crappie. There hasn't been a lot of fisherman on the lake lately, except a few bass fisherman. I was able to stroll the rocks at Rock Creek in...

Fished Perry today. Lake about 8 ft high. 15 to 1 keeper ratio. A lot of small crappie. Pattern: slow trolling rocky areas in 10 to 12 ft find shad and crappie will be in the area. Color jig...

Dester, I thought I saw my twin boat on the water. FM 165 is a small boat but dependable boat. Meets my needs.

Fished Perry on Saturday. Found some along main channel in brush. Color didn't matter, but had to be in the brush. Bite slowed down about 930am. Biggest one about 13 1/2. All choked...

A couple of them whites had some shoulders on them taking out the 10 lb test power pro. Majority less than a 1lb. Felt good to feel that thump. Heading back out tomorrow, according to corps site...

I fished Perry Sunday. Main lake dirty further you go north. Rock creek arm clearer. 3-4 ft high and dumping water does not make for good fishing. Water 60 degrees. Caught 5 keeper crappie 7-8 ft...

This time of year at Melvern I would pick any number of the larger or secondary coves. Get away from the crowds and cast a 16 Oz roadrunner with 2" twister. Slow but steady retrieve. Once you get a...

I was wondering if it was time to hit them rocky breaks. Strolling with some twisters will put fish in the boat this time of year.

I just received a report the tic tic tug on minnows in brush was happening at melvern. I think I am loosing my mojo or something because the forecasted temps are still keeping me off the water.

Sounds like a good report! Glad you got into them. I agree with Shane, a person still has to find them and catch them. The average fisherman for the most part will be unable to do this. I don't know...

On the water at 7am with 4 doz minnows and k-rig set up. Every pile and dock produced. Problem is, the biggest fish was 7 inches. No keepers. Still good to get out on the water to feel the...

I was out last summer and ran out of minnows and pretty much tried every jig in my arsenal and couldnt even buy a bite. Buddy with a small stash of minnows at rear of the boat continued to bring them...

Are minnows a must, have you tried dipping jigs? I know when it gets too hot, if you dont have any minnows you dont catch any fish. Good to hear someone is catching fish and getting out.

Good post! I agree that is a nice spot. I've been on that point with fish suspended on the breaks chasing shad in early July. If you go more south into the cove around the point there is another...

Good going! Seems like they are still in spawning mode. I am going to try to get back to Perry this weekend. I was able to get the new livewell pump in. I moved up from 500 to 750 GPH. The Johnson...

Just saw in the news there was a ban on water usage at Council Grove. The cause is the water intake at the Council Grove Lake being clogged with Zebra mussels. Can't say we weren't warned of the...

Chatt, I started fishing in mid to late summer because of your instructions on how to K-rig. If you must go, I can understand. This site can be not very friendly or inviting at times. I think the...

Thanks for the report. Where are they launching for the tournament? So I can stay away from that ramp on Saturday

Dan I think I will take you up on your offer. My hands are too big for the access hole. If I remove my trolling motor battery there is about 30" wide of crawl space to get back to the transom.

Found a loose wire on the pump. I was taking off the inlet hose and the manufacture siliconed/glued it. As I loosened the clamp and turned it, the plastic broke off in the hose. There was no...

We were able to get into them today. The threatening weather kept the boat at home. Almost limited

This one was a pig. The...

On the water at 900 and off by 1pm after the sun beat us up. Only 6 keeper crappie and a couple of cats about 3-4 lbs. All crappie and cats taken off steep rocky banks by flipping jig close to shore...

Thanks for responses. All wires under dash are tight on fuse panel and switch. I will look in the pump to see if anything is blocking the pump from working. Will post results.

I have a 2001 Lowe FM165 and the livewell is basic water in by the pump and water out by gravity or over flow. The pump is not working on automatic or manual. Light is on, on the dashboard. I hear...

Went out to Perry Lake last night on foot and couldn't even buy a bite. Lake looked to be up about 2ft and water was pretty dirty lake wide. Something I know about Perry is the fish are always...

Didn't limit but we put 20 in the boat. This is a weird year. Water temp 64 pretty much lake wide and warmer in shallow coves. Fished some coves in big slough arm. Would catch one or two in one...

Job well done. Taking the boat out to Perry tomorrow. Pretty sure we will limit out. Will post results tomorrow

I made it out to Perry Saturday afternoon to my favorite shallow cove, which has been my go to spot for first of the year spawning crappie. Dipped with the 12 ft pole and casted jig and cork for...

Cabelas has a kit on sale now, but out of stock due to the rock bottom price of $30 for 1,021 tubes and lead heads. I think the kit can be back ordered. You also can't go wrong with any of the...
