But the fish aren’t. Caught 4 last night boat sitting in about 12 FOW which was maybe 6 FOW at normal pool. Casting to the bank and slow slow slow reeling which gave up 3 keepers and a short. Desperate males it looked like to me.
If you use the handicap dock you might put on a floatation device .
Water seems like it came up two feet just since Saturday and temp rose about 10 degrees. Seen between 72 and 75 surface temp.
Wow!!! Looks really high there too
Then a little more this morning !!!!!!
dang, that is rough,,,, glad you got a big limit this time.
I fished Smithville yesterday and brought home 11 crappie and 8 whites. First time I've ever trolled a crankbait for crappie. Man was that fun. Mainly worked 10 - 20' of water. Caught the whites on minnow drop rods. Of course I had to wade thru water to get my boat out at Little Platte.
Yep this rain is starting to get a little ridiculous! it comes up any more and we won't make it under the bridges!
No joke....I had to duck down when standing on the front deck of the boat yesterday going under the most western of the "three W bridges". :biggrin
Fishing the Parking Lot pattern last night or maybe Empty Boat Trailer patteren?
Nice job on the catch but your feet would have been soaked if you rode your bicycle to the lake. I think they can change it from bike trail to paddle boat trail.Quote:

Were all gonna need one of these to launch our bass boats.......
That's enough water....shut it down any time now.
more on the 10 day forecast....... this is silly!
Need to find whoever keeps praying for rain..
Looks like the Mighty Mo is up so far they have had to stop releasing from Smithville. Have to be careful right now.....if you go under one of the bridges, you might not be able to get back if the lake goes up much more. Might have to pull your plug and let the boat fill up to get under the bridge!
The docks at Little Platte (top couple of pics from Bill) are completely under today.
Gotta work tomorrow , have at it ! I'll wait to fish when the water comes down and stabilizes . Good luck to those who venture out in the high water .
