Any of you local boys know how the fishing has been around bucksaw? Are they coming shallow yet?

Taking the old lady down there this coming weekend. Any info would be appreciated

Not an answer to the question, but info. I've been fishing the Osage arm and haven't caught a male with any color yet this year. Water temp Friday was only 53-54 degrees

Can't answer your question because I haven't been to Truman since last year, but according to facebook Richard Bowling ( Guide ) has been tearing them up ( but then he always does ) Now Looking at the weather for this weekend, It's suppose to be 76 Thursday, 85 Friday, 81 Saturday ( Rain Showers ) and 64 Sunday (Rain Showers ) which should be good for fishing this weekend. I think your going to do just fine. Fishing is better than working anyday!!!! Have a Great trip !

I'll have to check his fb page out. Thanks for the reply! Hopefully we can provide a good report in a few days!

I was down there late last week. Fish were 10-14 feet deep over 20-30' of water. Water temp was 55. Bite was decent.

can't go by King Richard as he gets it done EVERYDAY no matter what the conditions. Mongo took me with him couple years ago day after a TORNADO struck area and temp dropped 30 degrees and we STILL killed them with him. But it is cool to see the pics of the biguns his clients get.

I was out in the Sparrowfoot area and fish were scattered all over by themselves or 2 together. They were skittish to the point I would throw my jig 5 feet away from them and bring it back and they'd run off. If my trolling motor turned on to correct my spotlock, off they ran. Water depth was 7-8 with fish hanging in the 5-7 range. Depending where you fish from Bucksaw, the conditions are similar if you head west. I'll ask my buddy who only fishes out of Bucksaw and report back. I did see small groups of dinks in the 10-12 FOW along the creek channel, but I didn't fish them, the wind was horrible, the rain was horrible and well it was just another day in the mid-west!

Spontaneously fished the river straight south of bucksaw instead today. I think it's the Osage? Anyway, caught mostly all females scattered in the trees in 12-20 fow. Several people were beating the banks in the area so I think we're gonna try catching some males near bucksaw in the morning.

Finished the day with 29 keepers Attachment 425480

Nice!

That wife of yours can do the two hogs a hand trick? She's a keeper for sure! WTG and figuring them out.

Bigs Ole Slabs! Thanks for sharing

some of Trumans finest there congrats to you hope the bank fishing treats you well

Nice work! I came across a lot of skittish fish Sunday. Water temp in one cove 60.5* and 57.8* in a much shallower cove.

Well we worked the banks in about 5 or 6 different coves and creeks near bucksaw today. Fished hard and only caught 2 keepers. Hopefully these warm days coming up will send them to the shallows by the end of the week. Humbling day but we had fun! Haven't decided yet if we're gonna fish or mushroom hunt tomorrow

Weather was way too nice to walk trees so we hit the Osage again today. Too much competition at bucksaw to go back there. We started out slow but found a good north facing bank that harbored a few!Attachment 425684

They're catching them on the Grand but the Tebo Arm is hot, usually starts on the shallow arms and goes to the deep arms . Tebo, Grand and then the Osage in my opinion.
