I've been crappie fishing up on Truman Lake on the lower end fish have been between 20 and 45 feet deep, and water temperatures are about 35°. We've been breaking ice every morning to get to our fish. We've only started fishing again a couple of days ago as both of our lakes were frozen for the most part. Fishing has been good with lots of fish in the 10 to 11 inch range. We've been using double 8-ounce jig, heads with soft plastic and natural colors, dropping into the brush or the open water schools, and a slow retrieve

Blue cat on Truman Lake water temperature is currently 38°. Blue cat fight is on fire. We have been averaging 30+ fish a day with a few fish over 15 pounds. We have been fishing creek channels with heavy concentrations of bait in 10 to 30 foot of water on the upper Osage and upper Grand Arm
Crappie fishing on Truman is also really good with several fish being over a pound and a half every trip. Fish in the lower end of Truman Lake are in large schools on trees and brush in 12 to 25 foot of water. The fish on the upper end of Truman and the Grand Arm are in 7 to 15 feet of water on trees or roaming in coves. Best bite is natural shad colors.
