Fishing Reports

Lake Taneycomo Fishing Report
Courtesy of http://BassProFishingGuide.Com

Location: Empire Park
Lures used: Berkley Power Baits and 1/8 oz Red and Gold Little Cleos
Equipment Used: 5 ½ foot ultra light rod with 4 lb test clear line
Water Temp: 62 Degrees at ramp
52 Degrees around Branson Landing
The fishing was excellent for Rainbows on this very hot day. The temps have been getting near the 100 degree mark for a few days now. They were generating water this morning making the fishing very good. All you had to do is make up a small split shot rig with a number 10 gold Aberdeen hook and one piece of Power Bait , throw it out carefully
so you don’t throw your bait off the hook and let it set there. When you feel a bite, they have usually already swallowed it. If you are keeping your legal limit of fish you don’t have to worry about it, otherwise just cut off the hook and let the fish go quickly so you don’t harm the fish. It is that easy.
One good thing about going to Taneycomo on one of these hot days is a guy could take his family fishing and when they get tired he could run them up to Branson Landing and let them out to go shopping and whoever wants to fish longer could. Just come back in a couple hours and pick them up and be on your merry way.
The fish in the photo is about the size you are going to catch…it might be just above the average size. The main thing is you get lots of bites and it keeps the kids happy. When the bite slows down you can always slow troll with a small Rapala or Little Cleo spoons and get some bites.
Hope this helps you catch more fish!!

See Ya on the Water
