    Default Rigging on Truman


    Got for a few hours yesterday with a good friend. We pushed jigs and jigs tipped with minnows in 4'-14'. Best bite for big fish was in 8'-9' fishing 5' down. We found the better fish wanted it moving pretty fast. We keyed in on .4-.5 mph. We ended up with a great mess of eaters and a 7 fish stringer of 10.67 lbs. I had a pair of twins that went 1.82 for our biggest fish of the day. Better get out if you can to take advantage of catching the fish while they are at their heaviest weight for the entire year. No better time of year for quantity and quality than late February through mid March.
    While we were getting ready to take pictures and then release the big girls at the ramp the new game warden came pulling in to the ramp. He beached his boat and talked for a few minutes. After he backed his boat trailer in we finished up releasing our big fish and noticed he was having trouble. The linkage for his shifter broke and he was stranded. I flagged down a boat at the north ramp and they pulled him over to his trailer. My buddy Kevin walked out the frame of the trailer far enough to catch the rope and we finally got him winched up on the trailer. He was pretty thankful for the help as him paddling a big Ranger Reata in 12-15 mph wind was not working very well. So after a great day of fishing we also got to do a good deed.

    Sounds like a great day on the water and extra points with the game warden. Congrats and thanks for the report and pictures.

    There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home.

    Seems like the conservation agents are more active at Truman. I've fished there less than 10 times and creel checked twice, with one parking warning. Been to LOZ countless times and creel checked twice. That's a nice scale.

    Love to see them out and wish I seen one every trip. Jared the new agent we helped out said everyone he checked yesterday was legal. That new scale is great. They run $40 at the store. Very easy to use and store weights in. It has reverse readout with dark background and light colored numbers. Only issue I have is I cant see the 1-8 boxes very well with sunglasses on. Just have to look over my glasses when storing a new fish or overwriting a smaller fish to cull. I have been using that style gripper on my last couple scales and they work great.
