ks cranker Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 it's def slowed down. Been out to Hillsdale a couple times this month and zero'ed both times. Had a little luck at some of the smaller local lakes. Where have you been going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ring fry Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Went to Ft. Scott city lake yesterday morning. Buddy and I caught 20. Nothing over 2.5# and mostly on spinner baits. Did catch a 12# channel on a baby brush hog under a dock. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishin247365 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Fished Clinton lake and caught some real nice ones last saturday in the rain. 5lb'er and a 3lb'er. Little tougher bite sunday during tourney with totally different weather conditions. Also fished Banner Creek by Holton a bout a month ago and did fairly well.

twors Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Did some night fishing at Lonestar over the weekend. Friday AM I had 23 in hand and lost several including one in the 4 to 5 pound range...line snapped at boat. Went back out monday AM and had 21 in hand including my first elusive Lonestar small mouth which came in at 4lb,4oz ;D...caught another 4lb,2oz LM a few hours later but didn't seem to be big deal compared to the smallie I caught earlier that night.

zellamander Posted August 20, 2008 Author Share Posted August 20, 2008 I've been fishing some home lakes, Crawford State Lake, and Bone Creek Lake. Been doing decent. The bite slowed down with the heat, but it's picking back up. Should be some good fishing at the tourny tomorrow night, High is 74. 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bite did seem off some last weekend. I don't fish the docks much anymore but thats not to say there isn't any fish on them....they just get fished alot. I fish along the rocks including the dam face. The point just to the left of the east ramp holds fish here lately as does the west bank rocks on the main body of the lake. I catch fish going into the stick up cove as well on the left side. Been fishing big black and blue plastics t-rigged for the most part...paca craws and brushhogs. Now this info works for me but I fish super early mornings if not nights. I haven't been on the water past 8:30am in two months. Good luck.

adclem Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 What place around Kansas City do people fish? I have been to Blue Springs Lake and Lake Jacomo and not caught a single thing. There has to be some place close to here besides places over in Kansas. Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
