Missouri Crappie's

If you're getting antsy to get the boat in the water, head down to Missouri. I've fished Truman Lake in the spring and it has some huge Crappie. Nice landing at Bucksaw Resort operated by the Corps of Engineers, so it's a public landing. Here the latest fishing report from there.

		Crappie fishing is good. Had a trip out Sun the 24th and had 3 limits before noon.the crappie were on the bluffs in 25 ft of water and more. All fish were caught between 18ft to 23ft. Some of the better trees are under water so your fish locator will play a factor.We used blk/char,blu/white and red and white they all worked. Black Bass no report,but we are seeing a lot of dying shad, its time for the jerk bait. Catfish no report White bass no report. We will be opening on March the 1st so come and have breakfast or lunch and go catch some crappie.

		Crappie are being caught on the bluffs. Fish the outer trees along the bluffs. Look for water that is 25 ft deep and deeper and fish 20 to 25 ft deep. Fishing that deep you need to use a 1/8oz jig head or two 1/16oz heads about a ft apart. The last time I was out we caught them on blk/yellow in the 2 inch tube. The water is lightly stained and very fishable. The best bite is from the U hwy bridge to the dam area. Back Bass no report, remember March is a great month for spinnerbaits so get ready. Catfish no report White bass no report. Bucksaw resort will open on March 1st come down and see us.The restaurant will be open come and eat. Thanks Bucksaw
