LOZ this weekend - Divide and Conquer

Been awhile I know, but coming out of hibernation to try my luck with some fall fishing. I have a three day weekend, so might as well give it a shot. With that said, if anyone else will be fishing this weekend it may be a good idea to help each other out if the fishing is going to be tough. I have no problem helping anyone out if I'm on the fish - If you feel the same we can exchange cell numbers through private message. I'll be fishing the Gravois arm from Friday late afternoon through Sunday afternoon. Shoot me a PM if interested or say hey if you see me on the water - I'll be in a white and black Crestliner 1850 Sportfish with a 150 Honda. Oh, hope you all have some good luck at Truman Camp!! Would like to come, but the boat is docked at LOZ...and too lazy to move it. :biggrin

I will be there Sat-Wed.. I will in the area of Horseshoe bend a couple of miles up from the bridge. I have not fished LOZ in a long time so any help will be good. Buddy of mine just fished a bass tourny and stated people were catching a lot of crappie around the deep water condo docks. I will be glad to post if we find any.

Sure hope you guys are doing better than I am. Can't seem to put a pattern together today. This stalled out front sure sucks.

Ok people...
Started at 9 am shooting docks, ( glaize arm ) caught one keeper black about 5' deep in 8 ' of water.
Than nothing!
About 4 o'clock I hit the mother load of brushpiles in 22' of water.
Limited out in 1.5 hours. All whites
Hitting minnows with orange jig..
Wouldn't even hit a minnow by itself.

Will hit it again in morn.

I'll get some pics and post them soon.
Got them in basket, hoping to add 15 mor this morn.
Yes yes minnows!
I couldn't find the cover you were talking about so went close to the glaize bridge.
Near the marina.

Same here! Found a total of ZERO in the docks. Only fish we found were in brush piles in 14 to 18 feet of water, tight to brush. They are all shorts, though. Will keep hunting them today to see if there's any change.

Went back to the same brushpile this morn, and picked up 6 more whites.
Than nothing but dinks....
But they helped full the basket.

Thanks...
This brushpile is not going to feed my family forever...
Found it with the si snooping thru docks.
And if a boat pulls in this slip... There is no way to get to this brushpile...

Found some smaller brushpiles but no takers there.
So now I have a wopping 3 actual brushpiles marked.

Also lost my arse in jigs and hooks trying to shoot docks a let it sink to far.
I'm really thinking I really just got lucky this weekend.

Can't wait till the drop in water temp to force these crappie to get on a pattern that will be more predictable.
Will see what happens next weekend...

Found enough over 10" for a dinner for two on Saturday. Most were verticle jigging brush about 5-7' down. Quite a few 8 & 9 inchers. Caught only two dock shooting, but they were big. Found them under swim docks, about as far back as I can shoot. Overall it was a pretty slow day, but did manage a nice 28" sow.

Yeahhhh !

Very nice!
Don't know how you people are landing those fish with teeth!
How long did she play it?

She fought it quite a while before we saw it. I was pretty confident it was a nice walleye, just by the way she was fighting it. Had no idea it was going to be over 10 lbs. and after I first saw it that's when the fight really began. But the real challenge was landing a 31" fish in a crappie net.

Right on the down stream point of the cove where your road is
The sign on the dock says Clark's ark
Or at least it did the house was for sale
One day my kid had a limit in the boat off that dock before I got my reel working right.
That's what I get for letting him get the poles ready lol
