Met up with David (dhdk1) and Larimer this morning and with all the water running we thought we would try the weir an see if there were any crappie. No crappie but we put a smack down on the white bass and hybrids. The best 2 were 4.6lb and 5.7lb but we caught so many whites your forearm would cramp up. Kept a nice mess for the next fish fry and were home by 5pm.Attachment 203851Attachment 203852Attachment 203853
Fine mess-O-fish guys!!!
You done did good Jeff congrats.
Way to go guys, that had to be fun.
I am so jealous. Just were was this. Not familiar with the area.
The weir is the old roadbed that was used in the construction of Truman dam. It runs parallel to the dam about 100 yards off the face.Attachment 203862
You can see it in this old areal photograph. It runs about 15 feet deep.
Ok. Thanks. Long drive for us. Saw that area on a exploring drive we took in early spring. There is a boat ramp close the best I remember. Will keep that in mind. Do they still hang there in the summer. Say July when husband is on vacation.
Not to my knowledge. This bite is a function of power generation at the dam. No current no fish.
Got it.
Sure Jeff tease us with u have to go when its good.:Rofl
Richard, that's the difference between fishing and catching.
Nice!
Super job! What is the best bait to throw for the whites in that heavy current ?
We were on the hump in about 15fow. Used sliders and BG daddy shad on 1/4 oz. throw up current and slide it down the side of boat.. They would hit on the pass or pick it up on the return if you reeled back in just a little slower than burning it back in. Color didn't matter but bulkiy baits would not get down.
