Threw everything in the tackle box at 'em & between 3 outings over 2 days, we boated exactly two 12" drum, two 12"-15" channel & a 10" crappie between us.

Don't know if it's the recent temperature drop or what, but nobody we saw or talked to was catching. My uncle knows a guide there said folks were having to work all day for 5 keepers & most getting skunked. Said they're between summer & fall patterns. Been getting skunked all summer on Pomme & Truman, due to heat & bad timing. As a newb/re-entry (after 35+ years) angler, I can't wait to get out & actually get into some catching.
I would suggest hooking up with Richard Bowling who is a incredible crappie dude. go on his FB site and you can see that he gets it done about everyday. reasonable rates and he will give you education on how to ketchm on Truman.
