I want your trip to Pomme de Terre to be very
enjoyable, why? because I want your return business. I offer dockside
service to the resort where you are staying or I can meet you at a Marina
close to where you will be staying. We will start the day by casting
and then by trolling in the afternoon. If you wish to troll all day,
or if you would rather cast, both are fine with me. We will do the
type of fishing that suits you best. Muskies, like all fish, are
unpredictable and if a poor day happens because of the weather or just a bad
fishing day we will make arrangements for another trip at a reduced fee.
Wanna take the wife and kids for
a pontoon boat ride around the lake? I also provide tours of the lake,
call for pricing on this.
Today is
and the water temperature is 43
degrees on the surface.
It will be “Catch & Release” for Muskies unless by chance we get a state
record in the boat and the chances for that seem better all the time with the
amount of Muskies being caught on Pomme. I can put you in touch with a
couple of taxidermists that will make replicas of your catch while you leave it
alive to be caught again, one of the taxidermist's will give a 10% discount when
I call him for you. While it is Muskies Inc.'s policy to encourage the
careful release of healthy Muskies that are not personal trophies to the angler,
it is NOT my policy to intimidate or pressure any angler or group of anglers
into releasing Muskies.
For your day on the water
you will need the following equipment: current Missouri fishing
license, rain gear (if necessary), beverages (I supply free bottled water)
(each boat has a cooler), lunch if you wish to eat or we can stop and get
something at a marina (one marina offers call in service for lunches)( time
spent for lunch does not count against fishing time), snacks if you wish,
make sure you have the appropriate clothing for the time of the year or
current weather conditions. You can bring your own fishing equipment,
don't have muskie tackle--I do--for you to use, one rule though - lose a
lure - you have to replace it, sorry, but those things are very expensive,
life jacket, but make sure that you limit the amount of tackle due to space
limitations in boats. Don’t forget your camera to take that picture of
your muskie. I provide a
check list on
this website, print it out and use it. If you think of something that
should be added let me know I am always trying to improve the service to you
and everyone else.
No alcohol, while in the boat, please.

In the spring of 2005 Lake Pomme
de Terre was host to the PMTT (Professional Muskie Tournament Trail) and all
the contestants stated that a 36" muskie from Pomme was the same as a 38-39"
muskie from up north. Our Muskies down here are very well fed and it
is fun to catch them. Our Muskies have a shorter life span but the
growth rate is a lot faster due to the warmer water.
Fishy Quotes
If people concentrated on the really important things of life,
there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. - Doug Larson
It just got quicker to get here
from KC! Highway 13
is now 4-Lane all the way to Collins where you exit onto Highway 54.
From there it is just 20 miles to the dam.

SEMINARS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
You have your choice of
boats
1. A 21' Charger Bass Boat, very comfortable to fish out of, a very
smooth ride on the water.
The boat is powered by a 300 HP Johnson engine and has a 74 Lb of thrust
Minn Kota trolling motor. Getting anywhere on the lake in a short
amount of time is no problem. Also in the boat is a Frabil Big
Kahuna net to land your muskie.
2. A 24' Pontoon boat if you would just like to troll. Casting is
also available from the pontoon depending on the number in the party. On
the pontoon there is ample room to get up and move about. There is
also some shelter from the sun and the rain if the need is there.
On both boats I provide free bottled water, each boat has a cooler for
your use
