Heading down to loZ on friday. Was wondering if anyone might have any info they would share and also if anyone knows if the ramp at pb1 is useable.
I was wondering that very same thing. I was thinking about heading down to LOZ this wekend and was thinking about those two arms and possibly the little niangua. hopefully someone will have a good report from one of those before this weekend.
I'm headed down to Coffman today. Taking my stepdaughter I haven't seen in 8 years and her boyfriend who doesn't know what a fishing pole is. Kinda excited. I hope the fish are hungry cuz I wanna see this city boys eyes light up. I'll let y'all know how it goes.
Not sure about the ramps, but I am fairly sure it's Crappie Masters this weekend at LOZ.
I get tired of walking all the way up to the top of the hill at Coffman. Each time I go there I think I'm getting there early enough only to have a long walk up a steep hill. Last time, I had my boat on the water and was parking my truck in the last spot at the top of the hill by 07:00 on a Sunday. When I went to get it, there were trucks parked up on the road down both sides and in the parking lot at the storage place. That was about 3 weeks ago, I think there were about 3 bass tournaments and a crappie tournament out of there that day.
If you have a boat that is bigger than 16' aluminum you probably wont be able to use the pb1 ramp.
The lake is 656.1 right now so the pb1 area is going to be real low. Its just a big mud flat back there
with a creek channel. Hope this helps.
Haven't heard anything on the Little Niangua. It was really good a couple weeks ago. The Bridal Cave Area to the Little Niangua has been really good. Warmer water is the key. Mid to upper 50's is what you want.Quote:

Water temps ranged from 52 at pb2 up to 56 in the back of honey run (army rec cove) and I saw a few caught there but just one here and there. As usual this time of year its being beat to death, there were boats everywhere, wednesday. So on Fridays and weekends If you like lots of company the Glaize will be the place. I would opt for the Gravios and Indian creek, if there over crowded you should be able to find less traffic in the main channel coves heading toward the dam.Happy fish'in and good luck,Bladesmith
Attachment 158160Attachment 158161 size has been better for me in Gravois
Never fished gravois where do you put in at?
Will probably go to pb2. Have a 20 ft. camouflage X press with a 115 mercury optimax. Will probably start closer to pb1 if that is where we end up going.Quote:

Ok. I put in at Coffman. Fished all my usual haunts between there and the damn. It was very slow. Ran up towards Indian creek and pulled a few. The kid and her boyfriend never caught and crappie. She caught a nice white bass. The boyfriend, caught his first ever in his life fish yesterday. He pulled in a couple baby bass and a couple keeper bass. We didn't catch a lot of fish, but we had a blast. This guy is in his mid 30's and was very, very nervous about that ol bass biting his fingers off. Oh my god I thought I was fall off the boat laughing when my daughter said, "dammit city boy gimme that fish". It was hilarious. Anyways. The bite is slow, water between 51-56 depending on where you are and the sun has burnt my knees. Good luck to ya!
Which one is closer to Osage Beach? I fish there once a year and put in at Coffman but its a little drive.Quote:

Put in at pb2. We had a slow start but got them figured out. A lot of small males and a few good ones on the bank. Caught some bigguns off the bank about 1 to 2 feet down in 6 to 15 feet of water. Biggest was about 14 to 15 inches with a lot around 11 inches. They liked minnows or jigs. Quit on the minnows when we noticed size and or color of jig didn't matter. Even caught a few on a stickbait. Heading home with a limit each for 3 guys.
We did well around PB2 as well. Brush piles in 12-15' were the ticket. Brought back two limits with all but five fish over 10". Blue/white and white/chartreuse slab slayrs were best us. Last pile was loaded and produced 15-20 of our keepers. The others only gave up a couple each.
