Smithville Lake Guide Service

4 hour guide trip on Smithville Lake for two people $200.   $25 per hour beyond 4 hours. 

(Other lakes available with a gas fee added- Mazingo and Stockton Lake.)

The crappie spawn has started and fishing is great.  The white bass should be back and starting to bite soon.

Bait and appropriate lures and gas provided.   If you wish to take fresh fish home to eat I will clean them for you faster than you have ever seen, assuming we catch some keepers.

  Two nice crappie from two nice limits of fish caught by Chen and Ron.

Fished:  May 5th:  Fished the main lake area and caught a limit of fish in minutes.   There seems to be lots of 9" to 10" fish in the lake .   Threw 1/16 oz roadrunners with purple and chart. bodies.   Probably at least 7 out of 10 fish we caught were 9" or larger.  A few fish in the 11" to 12' range but not lots.  Fished in Linn creek around the trees in 10' or so of water and caught some big females on minnows.

May 6th:  Did a morning guide and caught limits again in minutes.  Were selective about keeping fish so 10" fish went into the live well and everything else went back.  1/16 oz roadrunners were the weapons of choice.  Stayed on the main lake and never went under a bridge.  

May 6th:  Second trip of the day.   Caught lots of fish again and we were selective about keepers.  Most of the fish we caught were 10" or bigger.    We used  jigs again and no minnows. 

May 8th:  Mothers Day trip.   I took Mom and Butch fishing Sunday afternoon.  We caught our limits in about three hours.   We fished in the Little Platte river area of the lake to get out of the wind.  All of the fish we caught were in 4' of water or less.  Wore Butch out pulling in big fish and he had to put his oxygen on.
