After reading all of the recommendation for Truman over Mark Twain, I’m planing a trip for April 14 thru 17 if I can find lodging. I’m not familiar with area, only there once years ago Bass fishing. No RV, so Hotel/Motel or cabin. Also, what arm, area of the lake would be most productive at that time. I’m not looking for any honey holes, I’ll put in the work, that’s what this trip will be mostly, but a few fish won’t hurt either.
I look forward to, and appreciate your input.
Thanks!
The best time to go is when the surface temp is about 60 degrees so you might be a bit early. Bucksaw is hard to beat in my opinion, but it's been a few years since I've been there.
I’d like to go to the Spring Camp (I’m sorry if that’s the wrong name), but my SIL and my schedule only mesh on these dates. Bucksaw get together is the first part of May, so I’m sure the schedule coincides with a good time to be there, but i just can’t get it to work out. Hopefully next year. But for now, we’re going to try it, and I appreciate the Bucksaw input! Now I just need to find a place to stay.
Bucksaw on the grand they have motel , cabins , floating cabins
I am not sure who runs the Missouri Tourism but they really suck, trying to find information for lodging etc around Truman is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Look up Just Another Nightly Renal on Facebook. It is a veteran owned BnB not far from many ramps. The owner is the owner of Just Another Crappie Bait Company and it is located a 3.5 miles from the Osage Marina, 8.5 miles from Shawnee Bend Recreation Area/Ramp, 5.6 miles from Bledso Ferry, 4.2 from Drake Harbor, 11 miles from Truman State Park Marina, 10 miles from Long Shoal Marina and 23 miles from Bucksaw Marina. There are plenty of places to fish from any of those locations that time of year. More to come!
Thanks to everyone’s responses! I’ll do some calling around and see if some of these places have some availability.
We rent a 5th wheel set up at our campground. We're between Tebo and Grand arms and close to restaurants in town.
I'll be beating up Tebo at that same time your here. If I find em, I'll put you on em.
My wife just got on the board. Hopefully we can get that turned around. Would you believe the City of Clinton didn't view the lake as an attraction?Quote:

They take it for granted. When I first moved here, I could hardly find any information on RV parks near the lake. I sold my RV because I didn't think I needed it with the lack of information. Having a boat is 1000x better.Quote:

Strrett Creek marina has changed hands. Not sure who to contact but it is a great marina and hotel with many amenities with in ten minutes or less. I know most like the other end best and it is good but give the other end a way less traffic. I have always gotten fish but I do recomend a getting a guide for a day or two.
i known
We always stay at Uncle Gabby’s cabin on Hwy 7 just past Long Shoal and before Tightwad. They have a fish cleaning station, pool if it’s in the summer, lots of plug ins to charge your batteries.
