Interested in buying a Marina/Campground and Motel... our maybe just the Motel ?? go to our home page.
Update 5/8/08 Truman Lake Guide Steve Blakes reports that the whites & hybrids have started. It looks like the weather may finally be going to straighten its self out, at
least maybe we won't see anymore frosts till fall. The lake is still falling and
the water color is great, and the crappie are on the banks. The
bass fishing is starting to improve and I think we will see allot of bedding
fish on the next moon change. So if you are looking for a good fishing trip now
would be a good time to hit Truman.
LAKE LEVEL:
715.21
WATER TEMP: 60
deg.
WATER CLARITY:
Stained.
BASS: Last nights Hawg fights showed a
good improvement in the bass fishing here on Truman. Howard Love and John Pollit
weighed in a winning stringer of 14.88 lbs with a big fish of 4.86 lbs. For the
third week in a row Jack Hockett and Jeff Swacker came in second place with 6.36
lbs. Third went to Chuck Strohman and Tom Novinska with 2.25. After it was all
over everybody agreed that the fish were holding in 3' to 5' of water on the
buck brush 1/2 way back in the coves. The baits varied from jig and frog to
beavers to brush hogs to worms. In other words if you were throwing a bottom
bumper you probably caught fish. The fish are still holding in the nitches in
the creeks close to the secondary points.
CRAPPIE: The crappie are on the banks.
Fish are being caught in 2' to 4' of water. A jig and bobber seem to be working
the best. Look for pea gravel points. The fish seem to be on the points and on
the back side of the points in the nitches. We have seen allot of real nice fish
come in this week. they are running about 1/2 males 1/2 females and the females
are still caring eggs.
WHITES & HYBRIDS: No
report.
CATFISH: The catfish are still doing good
on jugs. The fish are still holding on the flats next to deep water in about 8'
of water. Little smokies and cut shad are working the best in our area. For
those of you who ask we should have leeches in the latter part of next
week.
That's going to do it for this week from Sterett Creek
