I was there Sunday and Monday. The fishing Sunday wasnt too good but Monday I killed them. Mostly smaller fish but I did have a couple decent fish about 2/1/2 to 3 pds. Most came on a Ekins black and blue jig with an Ekins trailer. A couple came on a white spinnerbait and even a couple on a Deep Wee R firetiger crank.

Anyone know if the bass have already spawned at Pomme because of the warmer weather we had earlier? The next full moon will be May 6th and was wondering if anyone thinks there will still be bass on beds at this time??

I think that is part of it, the corps does a horrible job there because thier only focus is "flood control", funny how all these lakes were built for that and we still have flooding. They really should consider holding water longer when fish are bedding.

Just read the fishing prospects for Truman put out by the MDC and boy, what is the problem with Truman? This lake used to be a super bass factory but lately it has really fallen off. Anyone have any good information as to why the bass fishing on Truman has been down the past few years?

I used to LOVE bass fishing. I would read all the mag's, had subscriptions to several, I would even go to the libary and check out books on bass and fishing. I bought a Bass Tracker 185 in 2000 and me and my son would go to the lakes every chance we got. Table Rock, Pomme, Truman, Tanneycomo, we fished them all. I got involved in tourny fishing, fished once a week every week from early April to late August and found that fishing like that can wear on you. Well, my son grew up and he didnt want to go fishing anymore with his Dad, so found myself fishing alone and then the tourny thing started to be a real grind so I started hating to do that. Can you imagine that- HATING to go FISHING!! I finally gave it all up, sold my boat and havent been fishing in 3 years. My guess is I just got burnt out on it. I was also just burnt out on some of the types that fished those tourny's...hyper competitive, cheating, backstabbing, wife hating jerks...you guys know the types....anyway since I have taken the break I am getting that mojo back, wanting to get out on the water early on a quiet morning with the lake as smooth as a sheet of glass, running across the lake to one of your favorite spots that always produce...hooking into that fish fish of the morning and looking around seeing not another sole on the lake.......my son just recently asked if I was interested in buying another boat so we can go out fishing again, and I said HELL YA!
