New App Helps Anglers 'Find MO Fish'

CAPE FAIR, Mo – – 

The Missouri Department of Conservation released its first weekly fishing report of 2015 Thursday. The report tells anglers what their fishing prospects are like on Missouri waterways.


If people want to read that report, there’s now an app for that. The app is called ‘Find MO Fish‘, now anyone can have all the fishing secrets of the pro’s right at their fingertips.


“That’s where we’re going today, we’re going Crappie fishing, and we’ll go up the James River a little ways,” says Larry Scobee.


Scobee knows the ins and outs to catching Crappie.


“This time of year the Crappie are on the rock banks not on the bluffs but they are on the steep rock banks,” says Scobee.


He also knows some of the best places on Table Rock Lake to fish.


“That’s usually the way we find them before or somebody has showed it to us in the past; and then sometimes you’ll find one by accident,” says Scobee.


For the rest of us, the Missouri Department of Conservation created the Find MO Fish App.


“It’s a smart phone or mobile device application that’s designed to connect anglers with information they’re looking for while they’re in the field fishing,” says Dave Woods with the Missouri Department of Conservation.


You no longer just have to know where the good fishing holes are, with the Find MO Fish App it shows you where the hot spots are.


“The hot spots are actually showing you habitat structure so these are rock piles and brush piles and stump fields,” says Woods.


“It makes habitat for the small fish to hide in and fish just kind of attract to them,” says Scobee.


Knowing where the fish habitats are will help Missouri anglers Find MO Fish.


“It’s just a really convenient way for folks to get on their mobile device and get the information at the touch of their fingers,” says Woods.
