...it sure sets the fish up in defined places.  Fished from 1430 to 1730 on the lower end; looked around some and once I dropped the trolling motor I never moved.  WT 70-72 with a heavy brown stain; visibility 18" at best.  Worked a channel break in 17-21 FOW with a 1/2 oz fire tiger spoon and the fish were just stupid this afternoon; caught 4 hybrids( biggest 6#), 2 stripers( see pic-they will be over 20" next year), 2 big blue cats(10# and 22#) one crappie and well over 30 good size white bass.  Also had about a 5# LM spit my spoon at me boatside as well as several very large "somethings" pull off after lengthy tug of wars.  My left wrist and shoulder are toast but I have a grin from ear to ear....hope Truman has enough so they run water for a few more weeks.  Did keep some for the freezer but most were released.

I had a good Bass day on the Upper Niangua, although a completely different pattern. Fished 1 Pm to 7 PM with plastics tight to the shore. About 20 fish with 2/3s keeper size up to around 4#. Lost a couple bigger bass, maybe 5 to 6#. Best day so far this year. And now the weather changes again.
