Has anyone ever fished Shawnee Mission Lake or Heritage for trout? I guess they stocked 4,000 lbs of trout in each one earlier in the month. I may go give it a try tomorrow morning. Any spots would be much appreciated.

bump for da fishes

So how did that work out?

I’m headed out tonight. Anyone else?
Going to throw a buffet at them, worms, livers and minnows. Maybe even a goldfish if the bait store has them in.

Spent two hours this morning doing something I've never done before. That is throwing pink berkely power bait at stocked trout in hopes of getting a bite. I didn't get a bite, but it was good to be out!

Anyone had any luck? I've been out 3 or 4 times and not much happening for me so far. Caught this little guy while trying to catch crappie. Sadly he's the first, biggest and best of the year so far.

My old man and I haven't gotten the boat out on the water yet due to problems with the tow vehicle, so we've done a bit of fishing at James A Reed.

Last week I went twice and caught two bass, this week I've went twice and caught ten. It feels good to be catching them instead of getting skunked, but I think all told, the twelve have weighed ten pounds.

One caught on a jig, one on a spinnerbait, and the rest on plastic worms.

Not really but I’ve had a couple of friends tell me they started getting into Crappie on farm ponds so I’m going to a friends land tomorrow with some minnows to give it a try.

I'm headed out there Sat. morning with my father in law. Which pond are you catching them on if you don't mind my asking? I've always had the most luck on Jack Rabbit.

White bass, hybrids, and stripers are running right now, and I haven't been out to chase them.

Here's few pics of someone who has:

Good to know they’re finally running.
How’s the water temp there? It was only 58 here last weekend but we’re supposed to get a couple days of sunshine so I’m hoping it will improve.

Walleye slow on Table Rock last weekend. Spent four days fishing Holiday Island area. I caught a 4#2oz My buddy caught a 9#6oz. Made the trip to see him catch that.

That's a nice sized walleye. We're finally starting to get a decent walleye population here. I've fished for them up in the boundary waters, and I enjoy eating them... but I've never really fished for them down here. We basically just trolled for them in the boundary waters. Great way to drink beer and fish... but not real exciting either.

Half on Jack Rabbit, three on Catclaw and two on Plover.

Anyone know where you can buy live bait in South KC/Johnson County area?
