Pool 24 is a reservoir in Missouri, near Pike County.
Pool 24 is a reservoir in Pike County, Missouri. Reliable acreage, depth and storage numbers were not found for Pool 24.
Pool 24 was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.
Fish reported from Pool 24 include bighead carp, black crappie, blue catfish, bluegill, channel catfish, flathead catfish, freshwater drum, lake sturgeon, largemouth bass, sauger, silver carp, walleye, and white crappie.
For bass at Pool 24, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish at Pool 24, use a small jig or minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill, redear or other sunfish.
For roaming fish at Pool 24, jig a minnow or troll a crankbait along points and deeper edges for walleye, and work a jig or small crankbait close to bottom for sauger.
For bottom fishing at Pool 24, use fresh cut shad on a strong bottom rig for blue catfish, and put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish, and use live bait near wood or a deep hole for flathead catfish.
Other choices at Pool 24 include these plans: bounce a jig, worm or crayfish bait along firm bottom for freshwater drum.
Lake sturgeon at Pool 24 are uncommon and need careful release; a heavy bottom rig with natural bait is the basic fishing method where targeting them is legal.
Bighead and silver carp reported at Pool 24 are not normal hook-and-line targets, so do not build the day around ordinary bait or lure fishing for them.
On a first trip to Pool 24, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
Spring around Pool 24 is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Pool 24 can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
