Husker-N-KC

Hey @Bluebasser86, mind sharing any specific ponds in that area? I'll be taking my 11yr old daughter out tomorrow morning. Looking for a good spot to snag our first big (?) bass of the year. Thanks for any tips!

Nice! Sent you a message

I gotcha. I'm new to the KC area - live in Platte City. Don't own a boat so, I'm always looking for good bank fishing. I tend to stick to neighborhood lakes and whatnot because of that. I want to hit Wyco and Smithville for sure. Went out to Watkins Mill buy, that was pretty tough for a bank fisherman. At least where I was. I'd love to make some friends with boaters! Always willing to pay for gas and food. If anyone is ever up to meet up in the area I'd love to meet up. Boat or no boat I'm definitely interested in getting to know guys around here. Not sure if anyone would be up to hang out but, send me a message if you are!

Very nice fish! Where was that? If you're willing to share that is ?

Thanks for all the great info guys! It's much appreciated. Grabbed a few decent bass and a 6.5lb cat this morning. Saw it roaming around and thought it was a bass at first. I was hootin and hollerin when he took my craw cuz I thought I caught my biggest bass. It's all good. It was a fun fight!

Oh, I thought you meant a KS fishing permit. Is the extra permit necessary for other lakes around?

Ok awesome, thanks for replying. I took a little drive by the ones I was talking about and they are definitely private. I need to get over to Wyandotte and Smithville for sure. I normally try to hit somewhere nice and close during the week because I can the bank, (hopefully) catch some big ones, and get back home to work by 8:00 or 8:30. Wyco and Smithville will be a Saturday morning spot I think.

Not sure if anyone will know the answer here. There's a Humphrey Access point to the Platte over here near Platte City. I see a couple lakes just to the east off Humphrey on Google. Anyone know if these are private?

Yep! My wife and I are from Omaha. Thanks for the welcome! Heading out this morning looking for some big ones.

Hi everyone! We just moved to Platte City last weekend. So far, I've only had time to hit these two neighborhood lakes by the house (Lakes of Oakmont). It's been very productive! 10 the other morning and took my oldest girl tonight and she beat me 4-2. 3 have been over 2lbs, the rest between 1 and 2. Only a couple bonefide dinks. So, nothing crazy but, it's been a blast! Looking forward to getting to some bigger water soon. I've read through some of the thread already so, I can tell there's some great fishing nearby.
