| Fishing Notes |
|---|
Ben Verhoef, the president of the University of Missouri Bass Club reported the following. Ben fished this evening from 5PM til dark. Caught a ton of fish this evening, had a tough time finding quality fish though. Fished from the toll bridge to the 12mm. It Was a cool on the water -air temps in the high 60s, water temp was 81. The baitfish seemed to be more prevalent back in the coves so I targeted 10-15ft brush piles on secondary points. Keeper bites came off a 6.5″ Hags Tornado(pic attached) on a 5/8oz Crock-O-Gator shaky head. Swimming the bait over the brush piles produced the keeper bites. I also caught 2 small keepers on a chuggin spook. The spook fish were schooled up and busting through schools of small shad. I threw the spook next to the frenzy whenever the school would bust the surface. I attached a few pics of brush from the graph. To talk more with Ben and/or pick us some of these baits, visit Ben or Wayne at Fitz Tackle in Osage Beach. |
