Thanks Jeremy. If you ever need some information about the western Missouri lakes such as Truman,let me know.

Hello, and yes I have. Unfortunately, my expertise lies with the fall and late spring fishing. Mostly night, to boot! My tournament/prefishing luck at the Rock is not so hot in March. I know that the Aunt’s Creek or Indian Creek areas are good early spring areas. Depending on when in March you are going (H2O temp), I know the baits of choice seem to be Rogues and the new Lucky Craft lures which are similiar, but much more expensive. These guys that seem to kick butt are out there twitching them(suspending minnow lures if you are not familiar with them) after they crank them down. The speed of crank/stop/twitch or twitch/twitch has to be experimented with to pin down there activity level. Usually, the slower the better. Probably why I can’t stand to throw them!! The importance of a neutrally suspended lure can not be overstated. At the very worst, a very slow rise during the pause. If it continues to sink, just doesn’t seem to work. As far as what part of these creeks, you probably know as I. WATER TEMPERATURE is so important. You might be fishing main lake points, or if they have moved on back some, maybe secondarys. Hope this helps a little.

Thanks for the inf. River Rat.
Could you tell me a little more about the barges, such as do they stay anchored, heavily used during the week, bait available, etc.?
