South Fork Resort at Mark Twain Lake

From a fishing perspective, I made it to Twain for a quick day of fishing with Dad on Saturday. We don't look to the banks this time of year, regardless if it's on or not but I can tell you there were A LOT of bank beaters out with very limited success reported. We single poled standing structure in 8-15 ft. of water and caught plenty of quality fish.....mostly females, yet to spawn. The lake is on another rise and is currently sitting at 612'. The rivers got blown out last week and through the weekend. That said, if the weather stabilizes, lower/main lake fish will take off and FAST.

The lake was fishing pretty good. Fished tournament Saturday and had 9.95 and took 5th. Missed 20-30 fish 5 or so probably would have helped but couldn’t get the big fish too bite. When you have to have over 10 pounds to win a tournament on Twain no matter what time of year you know the fish are big. 13.63 won it with a monster 3.61 kicker. Has to be the biggest ever weighed on Twain and probably one of the biggest if not the biggest caught. Was a 2.87 weighed yesterday in youth tournament.
