Kimberling City 4/20-Different Water, Same Story

Endured a bit of a struggle this morning. Freshly brown water, flat water, and only two shorts by 1030 or so. Not OK.

We left the friendly confines with two options: find clear water, or find brown water that had been brown longer. We found some clearer water and it was on. Same gravel/mixed rock places in creeks, same depths as previous reports. Mix of Ned Rig and split shot.

Ended with 8 keepers between us, in the 40 fish vicinity. Most of those were from noon to 3pm. Clouds and breeze did not hurt, but were not necessarily a help. Bad news...by 2pm our clear water was uniformly brown. Maybe some rain will knock it back a bit.

Dang...I hate it when they make me run instead of fishing. Most gas I have burned in a week.

John had a nice couple of days, and caught his first split shot fish. Warned him the brownies would pound it like a catfish bite. He found that out quickly.

I ran up to point 9 Saturday afternoon, and the brown water was everywhere. Suppose you had to run down lake to find the clear stuff? Also discovered some of the bigger pockets stayed clear.
