Fishing report for June 1

Taberville Report

The Osage River has gone down a lot and I think that has kinda hurt the catfishing because it doesn’t have much current. Everybody is hoping that with the rain we are supposed to get all this week it will put a little bit more current in it. Fishing has been pretty good if they can get out of that dead water out into the channel with night crawlers. They have still been doing pretty good with limb lines and jugs with perch. So fishing is still good but not necessarily from the bank with a rod and reel.

We’ve got a picture here of a 34 lb. flathead that was caught two weeks ago on shad.

Some kids did say that they are catching crappie at the tubes between the south and north lakes at Schell.  That’s pretty good right now.

They are still catching a lot of crappie at Caplinger. Size is anywhere from 10 to 13 or 14.

They are still catching some walleye out on the lake off the points 20 to 25 feet deep using night crawlers on  jig heads or worm harnesses. There are still a few of them trolling with them.

Bass, of course, are horrible.

They are still catching some crappie out on the brushpiles on the lake.

Right below the dam up here off the huge wall, they are still catching crappie and blue gills.

They are still catching catfish below the dam. And I heard they are still catching catfish at Caplinger.

Several guys are using trotlines in the river baited with about a 4 inch shiner.
