    Default Hoping to get back to fishing, how's Pomme De Terre


    Hello everyone, I used to frequent this site about 10 years ago (mostly just lurk & read) anyway I'm finally hoping to get back to my love of fishing. The old fish and ski is long gone and I'm going to try to use the family pontoon. I have a trolling motor for the bow & plan to take out the front bench seats and use folding chairs for more options over permanently mounted seats so two people can fish either side or front. I would also like to try to set up spider rig on the front, and troll crankbaits off the back. Does anyone else use a pontoon for a fishing boat, if possible I would like to see pictures for ideas.

    Also how is the fishing at Pomme De Terre ? I used to go to Mark Twain Lake, but now have a fifth wheel set up at Hermitage 1/4 mile from the Dam & keep my boat in storage at Galmey. I usually put in at the Pittsburg State Park Marina because it's usually not that busy. I haven't tried fishing for crappie yet, I'm usually with my wife & kids so I might throw out some anchored jug lines for cats & then go swim.

    By the way my name is Tim, I live in Washington, MO and finish drywall for a living.

    Pomme is a great lake. Fishing right now is strange. Can easily catch a couple hundred a day and have 5 keepers. The big ones are still there. We were catching them not very long ago.

    One more question, is a Norman DD22 close enough to a bandit 300 to use for trolling ? I was looking though my tackle & for some reason or another I have quite a few of them new in the package still.

    DD22 is a deep diver 22 foot crank bait.300 bandits run around 8-12 depending on line diameter and amount of line out.Yes in the heat of summer your DD22 could catch crappie but under a lot of conditions may not be optimum.You could stock your crank baits from Grizzly Jig or consider Pico's in Arkansas.I just got a Pico's order and cannot wait to get them wet.............They look great......Couldn't begin to tell you how many crank baits I own......It's an addiction...
    A friend has been doing all his fishing from a pontoon last few years just fine.....Good luck

    This winter I caught a lot of crappie rigging at Pomme with double minnow rigs . Fishing brush piles with jigs can be good as well Good Luck

    Fished about 8 hrs,had 8 keepers,plus a hundred shorts.Fishing is great but keepers are hard to come by right now.Baby shad is everywhere you go also,looks good for future years.
