When I go to Truman lake I have to pass close to Stockton and Pomme de Terre. I have been known to pull up and head for one of them when Truman goes south on me.
Once I was told that it has Zebra Muscles I quit going. Same for Bull Shoals. I'm not going to be the one that spreads them to Stockton or Pomme.
Curt I did a variable of your 2 lake outing yesterday. We were up in the Little Sac arm of Stockton. We had caught 6 fish and ran out of places where we could get bites. We had 2 choices about the other arm where I had been fishing. It was a 15+ mile boat ride each way on a rainy 64° windy day or a 12 mile truck ride in the warm and dry. I opted for the shorter more comfortable way. We loaded up moved and caught 4 more bass. Fishing was tougher there because the NW wind was howling down the pike and I had to run my 36v tmotor on 6-7 just to move into the rollers. So it was a lot like fishing 2 lakes.
Opting for the warm, dry truck ride sounds way better to me too!Glad you could change locations comfortably and put a few more bass in the boat, to boot
