May dad and I went to Wolf Creek for the first time on Sunday, what a unique experience. We didn't get on the water until about 10:30am but we caught smallmouth steady until 5:00pm, mostly on a wacky rigged senko. We also caught some on a Ned and shaky head, but the wacky produced the biggest and most consistent. We caught around 35 smallmouth several over two pounds but the biggest was 2.60 and 17 inches. We caught most fish on the rip rap about 15ft off the bank, but also found fish in 2ft of water back in the coves. I had one largemouth hooked but it spit the hook out right as we were trying to net it, probably 4-5lbs. Great experience, I'll be back!

Was kind of wanting to hit a bigger lake with a cool cabin/resort to stay at to get a way for the weekend along with some good fishing, where do you recommend out of the following? Grand lake lake of the ozarks beaver stockton table Rock

Hey guys a budy and I are l are looking to take a weekend trip the weekend before Memorial Day to bass fish. i would prefer to keep it under 3 hours from kc and would probably choose quantity over quality if I had to choose. where do you recommend?

I have been thinking about trying this lake out, curious to what you were throwing? I can't think of two many days where I have caught more than 10 bass, 50 is impressive. Thanks

Hey guys I am still pretty new to fishing on the lakes around here and public lakes in general(grew up fishing smaller private lakes). After really struggling so far this year I wanted to see if anyone on here had any suggestions. i fished three days over the past week at Jacomo and Blue Springs and only came away with two small bass. Water temp was 67-70 and suprisely clear. I fished the pockets with soft plastics, buzz bait, soft jerk bait mostly. Tried a spinner bait and swimming jig today. does that sound right or is there another approach that would be better at this water temp? thanks

Hey all, a buddy and I are looking to take Tuesday off to go bass fishing within a 1.5 hours from Lee's summit,mo?

Thanks for the help

Since i have a 60hp I will be trolling, which ramp do you recommend I launch at or is there only one choice? Thanks

When do you expect the Bass to start spawning around here, or have they already? Also what patterns should we be fishing right about now in this area? Thanks

I have a 60hp, and have been too lazy to take my prop off to to go Jacomo but I may need to do that......not sure how difficult it is.

Thanks for the information, that makes me a feel a littler better about the lakes I've been fishing. Yes I am open to fishing in Kansas, I think the non resident licensee is $44 which I can live with considering Jackson county charges around $80 to fish our county lakes. With this time of year what lake in Kansas do you recommend? Also I have seen some of you talking about a bladed jig, is it the same as a chatterbait? That is something I have never used but am interested in, when would you use it and how is the retrieve? Thanks for the help

Hey I moved to Lees Summit from central Arkansas a couple years ago but have only been bass fishing around here since last summer when I bought my boat. I have struggled much more than expected but am encouraged by the stories and pics you all have posted on here. I would really like to learn from some of you let me know if anyone ever has a seat open or would want to come along with me. I have a Triton x17 aluminum bass boat. I would also be interested if anyone is in a local club that is accepting new members. I have mainly fished longview and prairie lee with a couple trips to truman and Cygne, but am open to trying out some other lakes. Thanks Jeremy 816-835-6630

I'm still new to the lakes around KC, does anyone have any suggestions on where to launch at LOZ for bass/crappie. I'm coming from lees summit and looking for the closest ramp that should be a productive area to fish. Also looking for any other suggestions on the best lakes to fish within 1.5 hours-2 hours from lees summit. Thanks

I didn't go too far up into the river, I went up the left side a little ways north of the spillway where the channel hit the bluff but not any further.
