After huge storms rolled through overnight, the temp dropped BIG with the starting air temp around 45 and the high only around 60. Water temps dropped almost 5 or more degrees in some places. The water was also BROWN. Visibility was next to zero as you went up all the rivers. The lake was raising almost 1/2ft every day and they were running almost 40k! 1 3 pounder was lost next to a dock on a main lake point and 2 dinks got hungry enough to actually bite. A lot of fishing were being graphed at 15-20 ft seemingly staged up but not willing to move up

Fish are staged up on shallow docks near and in spawning pockets. You can catch limits of 15-16” fish and will mix in some large females. This one was already on a bed and caught it blind fishing in those areas. I would focus on any type of cover you see. Shallow floats, cables, wood, rock, any type of vertical concrete……..

Lake 657.2 and they were pulling a LOT of water. Flow was over 30k with big storms rolling in. All the fish were caught on main lake points from the 4 corners, down the big Niangua and up the Osage. The swimbait was running slow on a 3/16 oz head.
