Truman is a pretty easy lake to find fish. But if you don't know the lake it's a death trap. The whole thing is a flooded forest. Truman has outstanding numbers and size, but there is so much structure the trick is finding them. Once you do it usually doesn't take long to load up a boat. Many trips to Truman I have fished for 6 hours and only had a couple fish to show for it, then caught 2 limits in the next hour. If a guide is in the budget then why not. I wouldn't even consider going without gps or someone that knows safe navigation areas. Closer to the dam you wouldn't have much to worry about
