Had a small pike just swallow my treble hook and I tried my best to keep it alive but it was a mess, threw it in the water I watched it float away. Out of nowhere a Bald Eagle started circling and swooped down and had its lunch on me, got a pic to prove it. Another time im standing in the boat and I look up in the sky, a sea gull is making all kinds of noise, I shit you not that bird dived at me twice, it was freaky.. We moved on out of there feeding grounds I guess and it was not much long after that I threw my lure in the water, after my friend shut off the boat and was tying on a new rig, I gave my rod a couple radical jerks and that 20lb pike was laying just beneath where I casted. I told my friend to start the boat and get me to deeper water, he's like what for? I yelled "just get us out of this small cove" now!!!!

I did spend two vacation days two years ago at the only lake within decent driving distance that has them, Otter Lake in Palmyra Illinois... alas, no luck... but I did enjoy one fine meal of 5 very fat bluegill, so it wasn't all bad. |

Haven't caught any crappie yet. It's ridiculous.

My first fish of the year was a BEAUT, less than 13 inches but this mfer was FAT and had to have been 5 pounds, huge swollen belly, surely a pregnant female.
Caught in a small lake where everyone catfishes, very little pressure on sportfish because the water is so muddy... it was a curly tail pumpkin grub with a top flashing spinner. contrary to popular lore you CAN catch big fish on smaller lures. Like they always say, darker colors for dark waters... I had been skunked twice in a row before this, but that fat sucker more than made up for it. Didn't even think twice about eating it, she went back, just a nice fatty to get started was its own reward. Warm winds are finally here for good, hallelujah. |

I still have had no luck crappie fishing this year. The fish don't even seem to be in pre-spawn mode yet. Hopefully this weekend, after this current week of warm weather, will provide different results.

It was such a brutal winter, everything seems to be slow in getting moving this year.

The crappie are just starting to show up near the bank in the evening and early morning in and around the KC area. It'll be full bore spawn by this weekend, and that should last abuot three weeks. Time to get out there. I'm heading to Truman lake tonight to fish tonight and tomorrow

I have gotten skunked at Redmond as recently as 10 days ago, so I am hesitant to return so soon. I know they have a huge population though and I really don't want to miss the best action before a hundred people show up fishing for meat to last them all year. |

Caught some decent size crappie this weekend and pretty good numbers overall. They were all males right on the bank hitting about a foot and a half deep. It was nice to finally catch some.

Not sure where you were fishing, but I ran down to Truman on Thursday and caught a limit by noon about 4 or 5 feet out from shore in rip rap. I was using a blue and white jig on a 1/16 oz chartreuse head that was about 18 inches under a bobber on a slow retrieve. It was a good mix of males and females. I probably caught 25 fish, and kept 15 that were all 11-12inch fish. It's just starting to heat up. This cold snap with **** it up most likely

Well today would be perfect to go fishing IF the sun was out and the wind wasn't blowing 50MPH
