I'm located at 4 mm on main lake. Water is still really muddy and lots of debris. Sounds like arctic front moving in this weekend.
Fishing isn't the greatest right now, but you never know about docks. Been real slow here. Good luck.
I'm pretty sure I a will be around mm4 also. Daughters condo it's either mm2 or mm4. Not sure whichQuote:

Buddies fished docks around 21 mm all wknd had ZERO
I got the weekend of the 16th open but it's not looking good for that weekend also. I will have to wait and see if any reports coming in.
I went yesterday on the lower end of the Gravois, it was pretty tough. Ended up catching two, fishing docks.
Between the high water and the weather coming this week end I think I will stay home and just wish.
I agree with you. Hopefully next weekend will look better.
I know from experience on the Big Niangua, it gets real spotty this time of the year. When the water temp starts dropping from the mid to upper 40's, downward. The best chance I have had this time of the year has been on calm sunny days. Shooting around the pontoon lifts, especially the metal ones. I always find it odd that the crappie are hanging out only a couple feet deep, and the water temp in in the 30's. I guess it warmer around those metal toons.
My favorite time of the year is shortly after Valentines day as the water temps start rising. Anywhere from Mid-Feb thru Mid-Mar has been the best time of the year for quality and qty. It's probably the easiest time of the year to catch fish well over a pound and up to 2 pounds.
My daughter is down there today. She is not a fisher person but said the water was nasty and looked like chocolate milk. Glad I decided not to go. How long will it take to clear up enough for the fishing to improve? Providing no more torrents.
It'll be awhile as long as Truman Dam continues to let water out.
This is gonna take some time I suspect as long as current is flowing and water is muddy.
FWIW:twocents
