Sorry you had to cut your night short last night at 3mb, I was the guy in the red kayak that talked to you on your way back to the ramp. I was looking at your pictures and noticed the snake-skin wrap on your rod. That looks awesome, did you do that yourself?
Clinton Lake is just outside of Lawrence, Kansas. Hybrid bass are pretty dang easy to catch...look for schools of baitfish being busted on the surface, and throw anything that looks like a minnow (spinnerbait, Kastmaster, little Cleo, Xrap) into the area being busted.
Blue water looks to be out around the double nipple. It is blue/green at nipple, spur, elbow/steps. Looks to ba a little push about 40NM SSE of Destin, just 10 miles west of the eastern edge. Water generally looks good over whole area...
