I am living in one of the best fishing areas in the state of Missouri. I can go to the Pomme in about 5 minutes and to Truman in about 20 and that includes putting my boat in. I fish the Pomme arm of Truman, which gets less fishing pressure than the rest of Truman. Sometimes in the spring, if you can't catch crappie on the lake you just load the boat and go to the other. Most of the time the crappie spawn is at different times and you get to catch lots of fish for a longer period of time.

The bass fishing in the spring is great on these lakes and one can catch lots of fish and sometimes some really big fish. Fish can be caught on nearly the same baits in both lakes, however spinnerbaits seem to work better in Truman than Pomme. April, May and early June seem to be best for big bass until the fall.

If you are looking for a great fishing trip, come to this area of Missouri and enjoy.
