Not much going on here. Very few boats on the lake.fishing around docks is very good now.

Is anyone doing any good on Gibson? I may go there sometme soon and was wondering if anyone had any advise for an angler confined to the banks. I'm not asking for anyone to tell me their honey spots but just some advice on genreal areas to try from the bank. I would love to get into some crappie again!

Back of paradise cove and the bank in Jackson bay in between the 2 ramps maybe back by wildwood. If on the north end. Blue bill ,rock point , maybe 3 fingers if ya can get to it. Those are the few where I would start looking if I was bank fishing,,

I heard they are doing better on Gibson recently. Anyone able to confirm that?

I fished paradise cove yesterday from the dock , after the cold front went through and never got a bump in 2 1/2 hrs. I felt fairly sure that would happen but just had to try. only reports I have heard was you could pick up one or two but ya had to really work for them. als the lake was down several feet from when I was there last so maybe they moved back out to deep water .

Three of us put in at Toppers 8 am sat. 4/26 fished with jigs until 12.30 when wind got strong out of East. 1 small Black bass, 3 Drum, and about 12 Perch/Brim, no crappie, fished shallow to 18' deep. One boat had 1 Cat fish, Another boat was putting in as we were leaving they had been to Chouteau Bend with out any luck. A lot of Bass fishermen but only two boats fishing for crappie.
I'm heaving beef steak for supper from Sam's Club. (cheaper than CRAPPIE)

We fished it this evening and it was horrible. Hit all my prime spots. Funny how the fishin report this week said good to excellent....

I have decided that there are no fish in Gibson, well at least where I was fishing

They come to Gibson in June and stay till December! LOL
