Nice group of fish

Middle Osage, blue and white was hottest

Blacks were in 2' of water in back of small cove. Water temp in there was 71 degrees. Whites are still scattered. Caught my limit 3 days in roll. Fried fish tonight.

Used Black and Chartreuse tipped with Nibble.

15' to 20' tight on brush.

Does anyone know why the paddlefish are jumping out of the water like porpoising dolphins? Out this morning and mouth of Osage-Linn Creek Arm and Niangua at 31 MM and they were constantly breaking the water.

Last week a friend of mine caught nine nice crappie, put them in a new wire basket, (Walmart wire basket with top and bottom spring loaded doors) and used a 10' piece of rope off end of dock. Basket is probably 8' under water. The dock is in cove with about 18' water depth. Next morning only 3 fish in basket. Added five fish that morning. Now 8 fish in basket, wired the top and bottom hinged doors shut. That afternoon, top flap is bent in, still wired, no fish or fish pieces in basket. Any ideas what is going on?
