ks cranker Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 ...so where is everyone going this weekend? I can't hardly wait to get out and fish again! I'm needing some ideas of where to go... Quote
huskertko Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Not sure yet, SM, Cedar, Gardner, but kicking around the idea of invading KU's little secret over at Lone Star. OOPS, sorry for letting the cat out of the bag. Quote
CPT Scrap Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 you could hit up smithville ne of kc, or if you feel like makin a small drive, la cygne could be great this weekend, just down 69 highway Quote
ks cranker Posted April 15, 2008 Author Posted April 15, 2008 you could hit up smithville ne of kc, or if you feel like makin a small drive, la cygne could be great this weekend, just down 69 highway I wonder if Smithville has got any better then 10 days ago when they had a tournament out there wasn't many fish got? I would like to check it out some time soon...maybe if we get another week of good weather.... 8-) Quote

OOPS, sorry for letting the cat out of the bag. Shawnee Mission should be getting good... 10 days ago the water was 50-51, so by this weekend it could be hitting mid 50's... I think so said you might check out SM mission a couple weekends ago, did you make it out there? Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted April 16, 2008 Super User Posted April 16, 2008 id skip smithville, i read a thread in the tournay forum and a guy stated they just had a tournay there and the fishing was hard. i went by cedar lake today and the water is real muddy even for that place. kill creek or SMP for the kansas guys might not be the worst idea, i dont have a clue for the mo ppl. muddy or not im thinking of hitting cedar lake if i can find a 2nd to help load/unload the boat.

w4svc Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 My fishing partner (wife) and I are going to take the short drive to Brown Co. Lake. Quote

No I didn't, by the time i got there,there was already 7 or 8 boats on the lake and most of them were camped out on the south side in the coves and on the points, so I didn't end up staying there.

s_self88 Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I need to get out to SMP when this 30mph wind stops, there's going to be one hell of a bite soon. Quote
huskertko Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I need to get out to SMP when this 30mph wind stops, there's going to be one hell of a bite soon. The fishing report in the KC Star this morning was saying the water temps were about 56 degrees, the bite should be starting to heat up pretty quick. Quote

The fishing report in the KC Star this morning was saying the water temps were about 56 degrees, the bite should be starting to heat up pretty quick. What time do you think the bite will be going? Do you think there is much point to be there bright and early? Do you think you'd miss some good fishing by getting there around 10am? ;D Quote

Do you think there is much point to be there bright and early? Do you think you'd miss some good fishing by getting there around 10am? ;D This time of year, I have always gone by the theory of later in the day is better because there is more time for the water to warm up a little more, however, with water in the mid to upper 50's I would even try some topwater earlier in the day. THe overnight low for Saturday morning is supposed to be in the upper 40's so I may head out there around 8ish, but I don't think that you will miss a super great bite early in the AM. It is not warm enough like the summer that the early bite is really good yet. The only major advantage may be getting there early to beat some other boats to the spots you want fish. Quote

Very Cool, I am bummed out a little. I got a job offer from the YMCA and had training today from 8:30 unitl 4, so as beautiful as it is I probably won't get out today. Quote
w4svc Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 We caught 9 today 2 were dinks the rest were 1 to 2 lbs. Quote
twors Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 No need to travel out to Lonestar....it took me nearly 3.5 hours yesterday to catch 15 fish Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted April 22, 2008 Super User Posted April 22, 2008 hey guys, i posted this on the flea market forum but i thought id post it here too. i have a 4 hp mercury gnat gas outboard motor that someone can have free of charge if they can get some use out of it. i know it needs some carb work but last i checked the thing would start and run. anyone interested can shoot me a pm. motor is gone Quote
w4svc Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 4/26 Satuday Put 9 2-4lb fish in the boat today water temps 55 to 57 no sign of spawning yet. I did get two on top water. Quote
Kansas Angler Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I live very close to shawnee mission park . and i finished my boat recently and planned on taking it out, so my first trip would be a day over at shawnee mission lake, any tips or tricks to get some bites? Quote

Super User skunked_again Posted May 1, 2008 Super User Posted May 1, 2008 is anyone finding any water that not stained? anything? Quote
ks cranker Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 If kill creek isn't stained then I believe SMP is the best... Lake Olathe is really bad to me. Shawnee Mission isn't great but much better then Lake Olathe. Where have you been? Quote
