The black and white crappie populations have been fairly consistent in recent years, and should still be good in 2022. Anglers should continue to have good success off the north marina boat dock and the three disabled-accessible docks over deep water during the fall and winter. Beaver lodges and large lay down trees also will hold a big flathead from time to time. Fish for flatheads using live bait and concentrate near deep, rocky structure and creek channels in the late spring and early summer.
The lake also supports a good number of flathead catfish with many of these fish exceeding 20 pounds. The portion of the lake near the south marina, especially the old swim beach, and the west bank between the north marina and the dam are excellent choices for channel catfish. They will concentrate in the backs of coves when water is flowing into the lake after a good rain. Channel catfish are readily caught on a variety of baits from shore or boat. Channel catfish are maintained through annual stockings and the population is robust with quality fish available. Channel catfish are common with good numbers over 15 inches in length and many in the 10 to 15-pound range. As water temperatures warm in the summer, fishing deeper with slow moving baits can be very effective.
When water temperatures are in the 70s chatterbaits, topwater and spinner baits can yeild rod shaking strikes. Beaver lodges and logs are also great spots year-round. Largemouth bass can be found along the outer edge of water willow and vegetation edges all spring and summer. Lake Jacomo continues to produce excellent largemouth bass and is one of the best bass lakes in the Kansas City area.
