Going to setup on the prespawn CRAPPIE

[1968_Red_fish_IMP]

Im headed over to Lake Latawana tomorrow for the prespawn of the crappie. Friend at work loaded up with some really nice slabs yesterday 14"-15". Cant wait. Then it's off to Truman on Sunday and Monday for the same. Anyone else getting in on the prespawn bite, in Missouri?

I just got back from the lake. I was there for 4 days. I was on the 19 mile marker of lake of the ozorks. [ Osagebeach area] The crappie were real light biting . in 15 ft. water . I cought one tuesday. I also talked to several fisher people. They were having it tough. The water temp wa 54. tuesday noon. I'm going to wait another week.

Man... I was hoping to have my rebuild done in time for the prespawn (the honey do list just keeps growing) Oh well with any luck I will be ready for them in about a week then Latawana, Maple Leaf and Truman here I come

I too had the same luck hootowl had. <br />Caught 2 crappie & 3 small bass Sunday. Caught one very nice 14inch crappie on Monday. <br />Wasn't for lack of trying, fished everywhere they "should" of been. Just not biting. <br />I was more surprised I couldn't get a bluegill in either day. Would of thought I'd catch at least ONE bluegill. <br />I think the fish are still sleeping. <br /><br />It's ok though. I'll be back out this Sunday & Monday trying again

Just got in from Lake Latawana, crappie bite edged off a bit, cold front blew through, yet still managed 3 really nice slabs 13-15", and 3 average fish. Friend got 6 average fish. Also catch and release 4 bass, 2 of which were pound and half. Water temp between 53 and 56, depending on which cove we were in. Im just outside Warrensburg Nate.
