Water Color/Temp Down Past Mincy

[Seth Clarkson]

Anyone know what the water looks like and the temps past Mincy and Tucker Hollow on the Missouri side? Planning to fish from a kayak and put in around Cedarcreek somewhere but not sure how cold and dirty of water to expect. I'll report back how I do, but depending on the rain, I may not be out long. Typically like to throw a tube, jig, and ned rig in that area. Will probably throw an A-Rig and some single swimbaits too, and I finally decided to pick up one of the MegaBass Dark Sleepers so I figure I will try it as well. 

 

Thanks

I think it's over 50 from what I've been hearing.  Crankbait bite should be firing up.

I put in about 7:30am and got off the water a little after 1pm. Caught 9 total with mainly small spots, but had 1 good spot, 2 good smallmouth and a nice largemouth. Largemouth was 17 inches, smallmouth were both around 16 and the spot was just short of 16 but fat. All but 1 came off of the same main lake point between 8 and 1030. Wind got to be too much for me to handle in the kayak after that and I found one little spotted bass around a dock with a teaser tube. Had 1 on a ned rig craw, but 7 of them came on the dark sleeper. Happy with that purchase, but the eyes fall off really quick and they are difficult to get out unless they are hooked perfect since they are so small.
