Thanks I'll be sure to give a report from the niangua area from my trip this weekend. I haven't found them on the banks in good numbers in a couple years being a weekend fisherman, so I won't count on the shallow bank bite, but we're on a big shallow mud flat, so I plan to head down lake to fish deeper water and develop more deep water spots assuming my new SI unit, that I installed last weekend instead of going fishing, actually works. If all else fails, I'll try some shroomin.
