I havn't ever fished for them but couple buddies report they go up towards the dam and have done really well for crappie there. like always look for the structure. Good luck.
with the new electronics you should have no problems, years ago we fished for crappie lots there.
How do y’all handle the current??

I have fished Taneycomo for years and have never caught a crappie. We plan to go back again in April or May. I too would like info on crappie fishing there. When you say go near the damn, do you mean close to Lilly's Landing? We have always stayed at Blue Haven as its away from the crowds and touristy stuff. These were caught last October
Nice ones Ima try the crappie tomorrow we will see. It beats working for sure.
Go down to the landing at the fountains there is a ton of brush and lots of crappies and trout. Local fish a lot there even Phil Lilley...good luck.
The Landing area will hold them at times, but it seems to be very hit or miss. Some winters are great and some are dead. I think Lilley has caught a few this winter, but not many.
Wondering how you did?Quote:

I'm heading down to Taneycomo next Thursday to fish a trout tournament on Saturday. We'll do some exploring around the Landing in search of trout, but if we stumble across any crappie then I will report back on this thread. The guys I've spoke to recently haven't been able to find the crappie, but they have caught some nice trout on minnows down in that area while crappie fishing.
central/south ar. is a big area, any closer areaQuote:

We fished the Masters tournament put on by Lilleys Landing and took 1st place. Our group caught several nice fish between Thursday and Saturday and we were fortunate to find a few on Saturday when it counted the most.

Congrats!
Did the ole berndog take his mittens off to fish? how did he do? LOL great job photoshopping him in.
WTG on winning that tournament! Nice to have your best day when it counted. only ones I have been in we had incredible prefishing and then couldn't getrdone when it counted.
Went there right after christmas time flood few years ago when had all gates open on TR and river was high and flooded hatchery and they were all out in river! fished falls creek and right where it hit river we were ketchn the heck out of biguns and no one else was fishing! Last time there.
but taneycomo is a incredible fishery to have in MO. WTG.
Nice, and congrats
Winter time and flood gates usually means shad are pouring in to Taneycomo and those big fish go bonkers. We hit it like that in late Jan 2016 and it was one of the craziest days of fishing we've ever had down there.Quote:
