My good friend, Thomas Wicker, and I called an audible Wednesday night and headed to Prairie Lee instead of Jacomo. We didn’t want to deal with the tournament guys all over the lake and figured we’d have a little more to ourselves. It was the right call! Here’s how we did! Details: When: July 10, …
I was fortunate to receive the invitation to fish the Lakewood Lakes earlier this week. Lakewood is a private lake, but there are quite a few Lee’s Summit Area Fishing members that live there or have the opportunity to fish it with family and friends. Our trip was on a pontoon boat, which is what …
I finally had a chance to make it back out on Longview Lake again in the evening. I planned to fish for walleye, but the water was just too rough with pleasure boaters on the main lake. Targeting some areas around the sandy beaches was going to be too much work. The water temperature hovered …
On Saturday, June 15, the Mo-Kan Kayak Series hosted its first bass tournament on Lake Jacomo. The tournament ran from 2:00-8:30pm, in conjunction with “Kayak Demo Days”, which ran from 12-4pm.

After traveling to Peoria, IL for 3 days and then Wichita, KS for 2 days, you could say I was ready to be on the water Friday night. Conditions were very windy (out of the south/southwest), but mostly clear with isolated storms around the area that never made it to the lake during the trip. …
When I moved back to Kansas City, from Austin, TX in the summer of 2015 I had no idea of the journey I would be led on with kayaking. Kayaking was always just a fun way for me to get away from my in-depth tech career, and a way for me to make new friends in …
After several weeks of severely high water across Missouri and Kansas, I was getting down in the dumps, like most anglers. Not only had I not been able to fish much, but when I did, it was also super slow. A part of me didn’t want to mess with even getting the boat out. But …
To say it was a slow night is putting it mildly. The largemouth bass really did not want to cooperate. It seemed like the perfect afternoon with cloudy skies. Water temp was 70 degrees at about 6pm, but dropped to 67 by 8:30pm. I fished the north end of the lake where it was a …

It’s been killing me the last couple of weeks not being on the water. Too much traveling and work! I finally had a chance to get out on Jacomo for the majority of the afternoon beginning around 3pm. I launched from the north marina and began fishing two coves south. Last year at this time, …
