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 Marina
