Mark Twain Lake, Monroe County, MO, Sept. 27th: Front moves in, Fishing a little slow- very windy

The water temperature is starting to go down in the lakes across Missouri. The temperature was around 65 degrees (it was at around 72 the week before). Put the kayak out off Hwy J, Lick Creek access.

Was only out about 4 hours or so....Mark Twain Lake gets real choppy when the wind comes out. Caught a little drum on a nightcrawler bottom rig. Thinking back, probably should have thrown different crank baits, etc. Was throwing Texas rigged worms, as well as Rattle traps w/ no success.....

Fish ON!

Little Dixie CA, Callaway County, MO. Friday, April 20th

Fishing was good, caught 4 good size bass on a BB filled silver rattle trap, 12# test just on the outside of cover near shoreside. Water temperature was about 60 degrees. One of the bass had a chunck of tail worn out- tried to spawn earlier and then had to go deep with the cold snap. Should be in spawn mode real soon
