Anybody here going next week?  I need to find a good early season spot around Truman or Lake of the Ozarks.  We couldn't find any last year till about mid-April.

Some guys I work with went Monday and Tuesday on the Lake of the Ozarks.  4 of them on the boat and they limited out both days.  They had 3 fish that were 60+ lbs. with the rest 35 to 45 lbs.

I've been a couple of times with them.  It is fun...as long as you're catching fish...but isn't that fishing in general?.

Never understood it....

Is it like trolling with treble hooks?  I know the fish don't eat regular shit/stuff.

How do you locate them and know they are down there?  Fish finder?



I can catch the sh!t out of crappie and channel cat but no idea on the ancient paddlefish.

That's kinda the way it goes.  Except you're holding onto as stiff rod and yanking the rod tip up and down everytime youre heavy tackle hits the bottom.  It's actyually a lot of "fun", yet hard work.  We typically use about a 16ounce sinker at the bottom with 2-3 treble hooks about 18-24" apart and locate them with a fish finder.  Anyway, we're going today and tomorrow on Lake Ozark near Warsaw,before the snow comes back this weekend. I hope they're "biting" good.


This was a good day, (below)!

I tried snagging out by Howell Island (Chesterfield, Mo. on the Missouri river) a few years back. It is a pretty popular place to go from I could tell. All I did was lose a bunch of big/expensive hooks.
Maybe someday I will try again.

I love snagging but have no advice for the area you are in. I go in Alton, on our side of the river, and have had great luck in the past.
