Council Grove (Neosho River)

Had the opportunity to fish with Bob Roberts & Jim Reid with the KS Outdoor Writers.They were having meetings in Emporia. Went to the feeder river to the main lake. Bob and I went there Sunday afternoon to dip a few jams. Bob had 2 in the boat before I could even get a lure in. But very soon I was in the game. Fished fast to find as many spots as we could for the next day. Had a few for pictures and gave the rest away to a couple of local bank fishers. They were very pleased and headed to their camp ground to 'clean & fry'. Monday on the river by 9 and as with any spawn bite,, it had changed,,,but very little. Caught a bunch of bass, crappies and a couple of bonus fish. Jim had never dipped with long poles but he was soon hooked. That will cost him. <*)}}}><Attachment 202006Attachment 202007

It was 23in. Big surprise as I thought it had to be a pesky catfish at first. 3ft of line out on a 10ft pole made a interesting fight. <*)}}}><

Very nicely done

nice fishes

Retirement is treating you well.

Where did you put in to get up the river

Well 'IT AIN'T nononoMARKED'!!!! Go past city lake, keeping to the right on to gravel:puke road. About a mile, you will be coming down a hill and across a concrete bridge over a creek. Take next :ThumbsUp right. Long, curvy, & skinny road back to ramp. 7ft of water at ramp. Banjo:yikes music don't scare me much. Lots to fish:fingerdance <*)}}}><

If you had trouble following those directions like I did maybe this will make it easier so the fishers can flock in there and clean it all out. ;) :biggrin

It kind of looked like a winter fishing spot to check out IMHO.
