I'm looking for a lake area I can get a last season outing. I live in south central Missouri and want to trailer to a Southern location where the water and air temperatures are still warm. Any suggestions? Arizona, Southern Florida are too far. I'm wanting a 12 hour drive or less. I live in the neighborhood of Lake of the Ozarks.
Thanks for any and all suggestions Eric
Eric,
What type of cruising are you more interested in: Spending most of the time on the hook swimming and fishing with minimal time spent at marina's, or would you be more interested in lakes with more marina's/developments on them? I see quite a few reservoir lakes within a 12 hour radius of your location but most look like they wouldn't be much different than what's in your backyard with LOTO.

Don't know the current status but I've heard that a lot of the Texas lakes are severely low due to drought. Not sure they'd be as good as they should be this year.
Looks like Austin Texas made the list here, so might be an option if the water levels are ok.
