my brother is wanting to go do some crappie fishin this weekend up at LOZ and I haven't ever fished up there for crappie was wondering if you guys were haveing any luck up there for them.
my plan was to put in at Coffman and fish that area then head up the gravois. anyone got any ideas?
Crappie have been tough.
guess I better take some jerkbaits and jigs and a bass rod with me then
Yes.Ive been on a good jig bite up here in the Niangua since i live on it.
how is the jerkbait bite goin chris
Its good if you can find them
We ran into one good school of crappie while bass fishing under a dock in 25 feet of water near the pay bridge. We caught a good mess for supper from 8-20 feet in an hour. With a depth finder look for the spaghetti lines near the deeper docks 20-40 feet in coves and you might find these open water schools near the outer corners. This activity is not nearly as strong as it was a month ago. The crappie appear to be suspending a bit shallower in the lower lake as well. 1/16 oz. tube jigs let them arc down on a tight line through the school with no line movement or twitching to speak of.
On some days esp. early and late the big black crappie are suspectible to the jerkbait, but don't count on it daily. Good luck
