The fall bite has begun.

Very nice fish! Where was that? If you're willing to share that is ?

Wyandotte.

 

Those fish are very much the exception to what you can expect to catch there. 90% of the bass in that lake are under 15", probably less than 1% are over 4 pounds, but they are in there.

 

@Dirtyeggroll I hope you're happy, I ended up buying a KGB crappie because of you ?

I didn’t even get a follower on a Roman Made Nego or on a crappie pained Hinkle.

Spent a lot of time out there over the last 4 years. Like you said there are a few big fish, but not many.

One thing I have noticed this year is fish in the 15 to 18 inch range are extremely rare. You either catch small fish or big fish. I am assuming with the extra fishing pressure, they have all been harvested.

I gotcha. I'm new to the KC area - live in Platte City. Don't own a boat so, I'm always looking for good bank fishing. I tend to stick to neighborhood lakes and whatnot because of that. I want to hit Wyco and Smithville for sure. Went out to Watkins Mill buy, that was pretty tough for a bank fisherman. At least where I was. I'd love to make some friends with boaters! Always willing to pay for gas and food. If anyone is ever up to meet up in the area I'd love to meet up. Boat or no boat I'm definitely interested in getting to know guys around here. Not sure if anyone would be up to hang out but, send me a message if you are!

Nice! Sent you a message 

 

forgot this site blocks fb links. here's a screengrab. reminder to slow down in the fog, guy's lucky he didn't hit somebody.

Anyone have any recommendation for someone to do some landscaping in the area? Wanting to build a small pavestone retaining wall around part of the front of my house as a sort of shrubbery/flower bed.

Get it while it's good. That fall bite is going. Few hours after work this morning with a DT6, Booyah Covert, and RES 2tap.

Had another great day on the water Friday. Best 5 were a little over 21lbs.

Stockton Lake is on right now. Took a bit to get on the fish but once we did we crushed them. No huge fish but a lot of 2.5-3lbs fish. Swim jig on rock walls in about 35 feet of water. 

 

 

 

The little local lakes are still cranking but this week is really going to knock them back if we get the cold rain. The snow isn't a problem, but over an inch of cold rain is going to muddy the water and cool it way down. At least I had my fun while it lasted. Got a new lake PB this morning with a 5.53 and a new best 5 fish bag for the lake.

 Can I ask what those lures are in these pictures? They look like flat basla squarebills?

It's not exactly flat sided but it's a small batch balsa crank by Black Canoe Lures.

I know his November orders are full but he's taking orders for December. Kicking myself for not getting on the November list so hopefully I don't lose this one in the next couple months. 

Question for the KC folks. Does anyone know if you can put a standard fiberglass bass boat with gas motor on Shawnee Mission Park lake? I know the regulation says electric motor only and with purchase of a permit. If you were to not fire up the big motor and only use the trolling motor, I assume this would this pass? Any have experience with this? Thanks!

You can if you do not fire up the big motor. You also have to take the prop off too.

 

But you can definitely put a fiberglass boat on it.

Yes you can and you do not have to take the prop off, just don't start the motor.

Thanks for the info. I assume that’s enforced for loading and unloading then too?
