Thread: Perry - 10-23

Nice fish, keep posting, lots of lurkers, not many people posting.

Just sharing what I learn, man. I grew up at Lake of the Ozarks, and have been fishing since I was a young boy hanging out with my grandpa - you could say fishing is in my blood. We moved here in May, but I haven't quite figured them out at Perry... Yet... lol I have a good day here and there, but love just being at the lake. Not much luck tonight - got one 10.5", but considering the walk up the rocks, and then driving all the way around the lake to the cleaning station, I figured one fish wasn't worth it to me to clean. He is now back in the lake happily waiting for someone else to catch. Like I always tell my wife - days like today are why they call it "fishing" and not "catching". Hahaha

Awesome detailed description of the techniques you are using!

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 8ft. Lot of dinks. Ended up cleaning 8, which I worked way too hard for.

I need to get my little Jon out and hang out all day under the bridge. It's just a 12', short side flat bottom, so it has to be an almost perfect day with no wind, no jet skis, no ocean liners, etc... That doesn't happen often here on a weekend. Lol

Were you fishing from the shore, or in a boat? What part of Rock Creek? When I go to Rock Creek, there are a few places by the big launch ramp that I hit, but haven't had a lot of luck there.

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
