Smithville ?

[LeeinMo]

With the boys sports schedules I have not been out in weeks. I know everyone is being very quiet, but I am gonna ask this one little question. What is the water clarity looking like around W bridge this week if anyone has been out? 6" visibility?
Thanks Lee

It's murky with about a foot or less of clarity. Main lake is a lot better - murky, but 2+ feet of clarity. There is debris in the water from Sailboat Cove north. There is a lot of floating junk in the water. Some large enough to do some damage if you run over them fast enough.

I fished up north around the Roberts/Lynn Branch, Plattsburg Y-Off as the lake goes north and the bite was real tough (not trying to throw anyone off). Main lake is full of shad and there are a lot of fish chasing them. The crappie, white bass, walleye that I've been catching have full bellies and are a lot more thicker than they were during the summer. The lake is up a bit. So some of those stumps just sticking above the water line are no longer there. Watch the props. The dam is letting out the normal amount of water. This week has a chance of storms today/tonight and Thursday. This weekend looks good with clear skies and the temp lowering.

Went out Sunday and the water was about a foot high. A bit muddy, not too bad. Found fish in 6 fow and fish in 22 fow, and everywhere in between. No size but easy limit.

looks like alot of rain up north this could be ugly

been tough netting shad on this end,untill last week it only took 2 throws,guess they all moved to the main lake and the fish followed them-rained hard last night-raining again at 4 am.

Water is running 1400 plus with a chance of rain tomorrow................sounds about right for a Smithville tournament

I didn't check my gauge in Kearney this morning, mainly because I didn't want to get drenched anymore than I did on my way out the door, but it rained a good gully washer last night....as evidenced by my gravel driveway that has moved "downstream" into the street.....again.

I'm going to give it a try this evening after work for a little while, I'll try and post results this evening.
