🎣 Summer is Peak Fishing Season on Truman Lake
Truman Lake is nationally known for its crappie, bass, and catfish, and summer fishing is some of the best of the year. Beyonder Marine’s direct lake access makes it easy to get to the best fishing spots quickly, whether you’re launching your own boat or renting one onsite.
Many local anglers recommend early morning trips when the water is cooler and the fish are more active. Live bait is available nearby, and tournaments happen throughout the summer months, so check the local schedule if you’re competitive.
🛥️ Dock Expansions Make Boating Even Easier
The marina has invested in expanded floating docks, meaning more slips, easier docking, and faster access to open water. Whether you’re a seasoned boater or renting for the first time, you’ll appreciate the smooth process of getting on and off the water without hassle — especially when the summer crowds roll in.
Bonus: Fuel is available right at the marina, saving you time and keeping you on the water longer.
🍔 Dock, Dine, and Refuel at The Drunken Minnow and Chompy’s
After a full day on the lake, grab a bite at The Drunken Minnow, the marina’s laid-back bar and grill — a favorite gathering spot for cold drinks, pub food, and live music on summer weekends.
Or, if you’re starting your day early, don’t miss Chompy’s, the onsite restaurant open for breakfast and lunch. It’s perfect for fueling up with hearty classics before a day on the lake, or grabbing a midday meal between fishing trips and boat rides.
📅 Plan Ahead: Summer Weekends Fill Up Fast
If you’re thinking about visiting this summer, book your boat rental, slips, and accommodations early. Summer weekends at Sterett Creek fill up quickly, especially around holidays like Memorial Day and Fourth of July.
