Thread: Millwood Crappie

The key to fishing Millwood is to know the lake and the water depths. McQuire and Horseshoe are deep water oxbows, but they do have some shallow water. The crappie are spawning in the shallows of the main lake in the sunny spots around the trees and brush.----Jim

We sure could have used that info this weekend,but the main lake was pretty choppy and muddy,like I said really dont know the lake,it was a great time though,lots of beer got drank I do know that and man when you do catch one its a pig.I am sure we'll be back.I'll post a thread then maybe one of you all that actually know whats going on there will help us.

I escorted some guys around from Paris Texas, but they came down during a bad rainy weekend. I gave them my opinions and showed them the lake that I fish and they went fishing--I do not know what they caught if any at all.

Millwood is a large lake and covers a lot of land, and several small oxbow lakes that are part of the lake system or the river system. The oxbows on the river, it is best to know their location or you will never find them, especially McQuire lake, Mud Lake you must leave the river and follow a creek to access the lakes.

It is probably 75- 100 miles around the lake if you visit every landing. Need any help just holler

Thanks crappierookie, if that is your real name,lol,sure sounds like you know what you are talking about.I'll shoot you a PM next time Thanks agian,anytime you decide to come to Mo (Lake of the Ozarks)do the same.

They are some good guys and they like to party a little too

Great guys do anyting for you,and yes they do party but just a bit lol

Sounds like I picked the wrong weekend to go chasing turkeys in west texas!
If I would have known about the party and all the catching I may have stayed at home. I've been catching several around okay landing past few weeks myself, sounds like the action is realy heating up.
Thanks for the reports, let somebody know next time before you drive all the way down from MO.
