Does anyone fish Blue Springs Lake? (suburb of KC) I live about 3 miles from the lake and would like to fish it more than I do. The few times that I fished it, I didn't have much luck. (Too busy dodging skiers.) The crappie I've caught have been mostly very small. I catch myself with a few hours spare time and I won't even go because I have zero confidence in the lake. If anyone has any advice/suggestions, I would sure appreciate it.

I've caught some bass there but nothing very large. The east end (east of Woods Chapel bridge) has a lot of timber but it is very shallow. Anyone ever do any good back there for bass? Or anywhere else for that matter?

The lake does have some hybrids but I have never intentionally fished for them. Has anyone had any regular success fishing for them?

Like I said, I'd really like start fishing the lake more since it is so close so if any of you have any suggestions for crappie, bass, hybrids I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
