Mark Twain Lake: Fished secondary points and small pockets just off of Creek Channels trying to catch bigger Pre-Spawn females. Caught 3 nice fish and several small ones. Caught most of the fish on a Crock-O-Gator 3/8 Zapper Jig with a Crock-O-Gator Ring Craw trailer.

The lake is still COLD and MUDDY. There were some spots a little warmer than others but overall its chilly. A couple pockets had muddy water on top with clearer water underneath. 2 bass were caught shallow on the soft jerkbait working it slowly and 1 was caught rolling a shallow diving crankbait on the bottom. I don't think the bass are anywhere near the spawn at this point
