Overview

Coon’s Cove provides another shore-fishing option on Lake Jacomo near Blue Springs. Cove environments can be particularly useful to bank and pier anglers because protected water, shoreline cover, and changes in depth can bring fish relatively close to shore.

During spring, shallow coves can become especially attractive as warming water draws crappie, bass, and panfish toward spawning areas. During hotter weather, fish may shift toward deeper edges or shaded structure.

Fishing Tips

Work small jigs beneath a float or cast them slowly around cover when targeting crappie. Worms and small presentations are useful for bluegill, while bass anglers can work soft plastics along vegetation and shoreline structure.

If the shallow portion of the cove isn’t producing, gradually fish deeper water and outside edges. Early morning and evening are good periods to cover both shallow and deeper areas.

Bottom Line

A useful Lake Jacomo fishing spot for anglers looking for protected cove water and opportunities for crappie, bass, bluegill, and catfish.
