Got Whacked at the LOZ 5-15-15

Launched at Coffman this morning and limited out at 0815 hours. Pulled flickers shads and bandit in back of a creek 25 to 30 fow just like last week. Fished til noon for fun and tried some different spots ended up catching 40 total. The cranking bite is def on, idle in the back of creeks and big coves watching your fishfinder until you get marks and throw them out. Be tough for me to watch my graph since I KNOCKED OFF MY TRANSDUCER AAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I got caught in a downpour. Price you pay to play.

Nice! To bad about your ducer though!

Nice catch!!

Congrats was hoping to do that today quess it is not going to happen.

Thanks for the report.

Sounds like you got the pattern down, congrats

sounds like a fun time, well sept for the ducer gettin whacked... hope it is an easy fix

Thanks for the report and pic. Hope it is a simple fix on the Xducer.

Don't look like you need a graph congrats

Nice !!!

I wish I would have read this before I went this weekend. It was like lake 33 at Busch Wildlife Area. I found fish all over brush in 10-18' of water. I bet I caught well over 100 fish, but only able to put 5 in the livewell. I don't think I've ever caught that many small crappie on the Niangua Arm. My wife did catch one over 12", but the rest of the keepers were between 9 and 10 inches. Horrible! :dono

So no weights ahead of your cranks right? swivels?

My wife and I fished Linn Creek Friday night and my son and I fished the Little Niangua Saturday afternoon and it was the same for us with the little fish like 6" ones. We were shooting deep docks both days.

There was so much junk floating in the water this weekend. Would have been very frustrating trying to pull crankbaits behind the boat.
