Truman Lake Club Tournament Report Day-After-Grand Adventure Right after our Grand Lake outing, we grabbed my buddy Greg and headed over Truman Lake for a little club tournament. Conditions looked pretty similar to the day before, dirty water up the Osage and Pomme arms, and cleaner water down the Grand arm, but we chose to stick with the dirtier water approach. How the Day Unfolded We worked those spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and crankbaits around main lake and secondary points, and while it wasn’t the cleanest day of fishing, we had our chances. We ended up with four fish for 11.5 pounds total. Lost a couple of good ones in the 4-5 pound range that could’ve changed the game, but hey, that’s fishing! Key Takeaway: Focus on Points The pattern was clear: if you weren’t fishing points, you weren’t getting bit. With the lake drawn down a couple of feet, fish were stacking up around those rock transition areas. We had around 8 or 9 keeper bites and boated four. Not our best day, but it sets us up to come back stronger for the Solo Series Top 100 in a couple weeks. Gear Up and Save If you’re heading to Truman Lake soon, keep it simple: jigs, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and square bills are your go-tos. And remember, you can grab all your tackle at Omnia.

Fished the lower end of the lake and looked for rock transitions with timber in the creeks. The fish were right around the bank and really snapping. Get out there and have some fun.
