Truman Reservoir Fishing Report! | All Seasons | Casey Scanlon

Truman Reservoir is one of the most underrated bass fishing lakes in Missouri and in this video, we break it all down. At 55,000 acres, Truman Lake is full of standing timber, river arms, creek channels, and flooded cover that make it a year-round bass fishing hotspot.

This video covers every section of Truman Reservoir and how it fishes throughout the seasons:
🎣 Pre-spawn – where to find staging fish on points and channel swings, plus top baits like jerkbaits, jigs, and spinnerbaits.
🎣 Spawn – how to locate bedding bass in coves, creek pockets, and flooded cover.
🎣 Post-spawn & Summer – targeting offshore structure, brush piles, and standing timber with jigs, Carolina rigs, and big worms.
🎣 Fall – chasing shad migrations into the backs of creeks with squarebills, buzzbaits, and spinnerbaits.
🎣 Winter – fishing steep channel swings with jerkbaits and finesse jigs for suspended bass.
