Arkies are the best

Found Sat Dec 1 in Blue Springs at the corner of Woods Chapel Rd and Liggett Rd, three sets of keys laying on the side of the road. Looks like padlock keys, boat ramp keys, and maybe house or boat...

Good Report thanks!

Went this afternoon from 3-7:30 PM. Put in at Mecca free ramp which is now accessible. It was slow going. I tried multiple coves up north, fishing along the bank and wasn't really even getting any...

If you catch it, it's your fish. You can do with it what you want. No need to explain your reasoning on this forum Dester. Congrats on the hawg.

Huge!

Hi Vic, no I didn't try any jigs but others were using them and catching some but minnows by far worked the best. I saw yellow/white and purple/pink being used.

First one at Burton's 5 AM for minnows, up to Mecca free ramp to beat the Corp Chal crowd - NO DICE. I couldn't launch my boat without backing my entire car in to the lake, the water is just too...

They say the gates open at 8 am but when I got there today at 8 there were already six empty trailers in the lot. I think the ranger guy opens it early for a group of guys that have their own bass...

I went back this morning and fished from 8-noon and I caught over 40 fish. One fish was 11 1/2". The rest were 9" or less. I kept about 20 of the 8 1/2-9's. All were male. The females are yet to...

Fished from 5-8:30 PM tonight. Ended up with 5 nice crappie (for PL) between 11-12", and then 5 smaller around 9", and then tons of 6" fish. The big ones only wanted minnows, about 4 feet down in 8...

Welcome to the site! I was there Friday evening as well and only managed 7 nice ones. Good job!

Hey Dester nice to see you here, I wasn't sure if you were on this forum or not. Good to hear you found them, even if they were dinks. I bet the big ones will start moving up shallow in another...

Yeah Joe I went to Truman last Friday night. I posted about the trip on Saturday I believe. I caught 7 nice ones, it wasn't like the legend but it was a good first run. Hopefully I can get back...

Wow, that's a hog for any of the Jackson County Lakes. And go figure, still in 20-25 fow. Makes no sense! Congrats on finding them!!! Seems like they should be moving up any time now. I know...

Way to go Wyatt!! I had the pleasure of meeting you guys at BP in Independence this past winter during crappie madness. Wyatt is a very fine young man, you could tell he has a number of good role...

Good for you for taking him I'm sure you made his day if not his whole year!!!

Fished Prairie Lee in KC Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. Saturday evening I didn't get a bite, fished anywhere from up on the bank to out in 20 fow, using minnows and jigs. Fished until dark...

First time to Truman. Put in at free ramp below Tightwad at 3:30. Went to the right to a big cove where there were 3-4 other boats. It was SLOW. Others were catching here and there, me, zip. I...

Thanks for the report, I may try to go Saturday, launch from Mecca and hit coves around there maybe up Three Fingers

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it!! I will report back upon my (hopefully) triumphant return!!!

So I have always stuck to the KC lakes for crappie (Longview, Prairie Lee, BS, Jacomo and Smithville) but this year the lure of Truman is calling. I hear it's on fire and I'm wanting to join the...

I will try and make it this year.

Water temp 64. Last three years the bite has been hot when water team reaches 65-68 in early to mid May.

Tuesday 4-28 between 8 am - 3 pm caught 16 nice keepers out in front of the docs anywhere from 11-18 fow, no fish on the bank, mostly male, and it was slow action. Thursday 4-30 between 8 am - 1 pm...

Mr Duncan with call sign mduncan62 caught a huge one there a couple years ago maybe 17 and 3 lbs, that is now in the acquarium at the Independence Bass Pro. The best day I've had has been catching a...

Longview 3-31 - Water temp 52. Fished up Blue River arm anywhere between 5-20 fow, dipped trees, cast jigs from here to there, up to the bank to way out deep, nothing. Trolled a crawler for walleye...

Yes I agree, it was a great seminar. The biggest take-away for me is that this makes the second year in a row where the pro talked about using a bigger bait - a 3 inch slab slayer with a 1/8 or 1/4...

Sounds good, thanks fellas, and may everyone enjoy your fishing experience!

Anyone going to Crappie Madness at Bass Pro Independence on Jan 31st? Cory Batterson (?) is the speaker. I'm heading to the 2 PM seminar just for kicks. If any local guys are there it would be...
