Truman Tuesday May3

I put in at Shawnee bend at 10:30, and immediately noticed the lake was up 5 or 6 feet since my last visit. Not good... I have a hard enough time dealing with stable water let alone a 5-6' rise. I went up Tebo Creek and stopped at Snow Creek (???) where I had good success a week or more ago. The bite was timid to say the least. I caught 4 - 5 shorts, one 10" crappie, a 12" bass and a 5 lb drum while tied up to a tree about 30 feet off the bank.

I spent the next 4 hours burning gas and looking around. What I saw was not good... everything looked exactly the same. The same water color, the same cover (or lack there-of), the same bottom contours. I was looking for "different," and didn't find it. So much for my second attempt at crappie fishing on Truman.

Dang pretty bass boat guys! If you fish better learn to just live and let live. You out there to enjoy.

High water is a great time to two pole slow troll with a weedless jig head/jig... just cause you can't see it doesn't mean their isn't cover.
