Fish are starting to move up into the shallows as the water temperatures are getting warmer with these warmer spring-like days in southwest Missouri. Picture from a recent trip with a client.

Fishing has been excellent here. We are averaging between 30 to 50 fish per trip. Catching bass in shad schools in 50 to 70ft of water! Hope you have a great Christmas!

Fishing has been excellent here on our lakes! The bass fishing has been exceptional! Catching lots of numbers and quality jigging in ultra deep water around baitfish. The walleye are feeding up and are fairly shallow. We are catching them on jerkbaits and swimbaits.
