Bass were mostly off of points, rocky banks and larger laydowns and hit on 1/2 ounce black & blue jigs with a plastic craw trailer and a 4" Zoom Baby Brush Hog (green pumpkin). Most of our fish came mid-lake. Water temp ranged from the mid-50s to 60 degrees.  If you are looking for a neat lake to spend a day fishing, you might want to consider this one! It's only about 90 miles east of placeCitySt. Louis and has a bunch of fish. Keep you can only operate motors over 25 horsepower at the ramp for loading and unloading and there is a 3-fish creel limit on bass if you are inclined to keep fish.</div> <bR> <div> Dwayne Luby's sponsors include:</div> <bR> <div> Skeeter Boats: http://www.skeeterboats.com/" <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>http://www.skeeterboats.com/</U></FONT></div> <div> Yamaha Outboards <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/products/lifestylehome/home.aspx" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/pro"><U><U>http://www.yamaha-motor.com/outboard/products/lifestylehome/home.aspx</U></U></A></FONT></div> <div> Lewis Engines, placeCitySt. Charles, StateMO: http://lewisboat.com/" <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>http://lewisboat.com/</U></FONT> </div> <div> Minn Kota Trolling Motors (http://www.minnkotamotors.com/index_flash.asp" <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>http://www.minnkotamotors.com/index_flash.asp</U></FONT>)</div> <div> Humminbird Electronics (http://www.humminbird.com/flashHome.asp?ID=2" <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><U>http://www.humminbird.com/flashHome.asp?ID=2</U></FONT>) </div> <div> Performance Propellers, CityplaceSt. Charles, StateMO - (636) 494-3121</div> <div> B&R Outlaw Rods (<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.broutlawrods.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.broutlawrods.com/"><U><U>http://www.broutlawrods.com/</U></U></A></FONT>)</div> <div> Ardent Reels <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.ardentreels.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.ardentreels.com/"><U><U>http://www.ardentreels.com/</U></U></A></FONT></div> <div> Loc-R-Bar <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.locrbar.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.locrbar.com/"><U><U>http://www.locrbar.com/</U></U></A></FONT></div> <div> Lou Fusz Automotive <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.fusz.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.fusz.com/"><U><U>http://www.fusz.com/</U></U></A></FONT></div> <div> Omega Tackle <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.omegacustomtackle.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.omegacustomtackle.com/"><U><U>http://www.omegacustomtackle.com/</U></U></A></FONT></div> <bR> <div> For past articles visit by this author visit:  <FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><A HREF="http://www.lubyfishing.com/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.lubyfishing.com/"><U><U>www.lubyfishing.com</U></U></A></FONT> .</div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
