    Default MT a bust


    WINDY! MUDDY! NO bites. Fished about 1 1/2 hours at the most. It was miserable. Could only see about an inch in the water. Crappie would need to blindly swim into the minner to find it. Took long way home and stopped at Osage River. Husband caught a 3 3/4 lb hybrid bass, a couple of dink bass and bluegill. I caught a 13" smallmouth on minners. Couple of dink bass and a white bass in cranks. Catching on Mark Twain isn't going to get better until it clears up and then it may be to late in the year. We aren't going back up this year.

    The water will be clearer the closer you get to the dam. I have a lot better luck at the dam end of the lake. I know a lot of guys swear by south fork, but the water is so muddy there in comparison. This is just one old man's opinion.

    Middle was dirty, North wasn't terrible.... Ran down the lake a bit and found decent clarity. Water temp averaged in the low 60's, should pulled cranks (hindsight) as we marked tons of suspended fish. Need that water in the 50's to get em goin! Lots of open water left in the season (me thinks anyway).

    I was hoping the water would be a little cooler after the chilly weather we just had.
