Which is better? (Tidal or River Mud)

The other day, I was driving through Missouri (who are going through one hell of a drought). I looked at some rivers/lakes and saw that their water level had gone down, leaving some nice looking mud. Some of you may know that I live in Florida, which has some kickass tidal mud. The question I'm asking is which is better? Tidal mud or river mud?

St. Louis area. By the river, mainly.

True. But how long does the tide stay down?

The only time I was ever near a muddy tidal area it stank like a cooler full of rotten bait, so I'd have to vote river mud. Though in truth neither of them beat a quarry settling pit full of nice fresh clay.

If only I could find some of that near me.

Nice! I've been there, and you aren't lying. I was there like 10 years ago and just walked on the shore of the creek until I found muddy spots. The only problem was there is a steady stream of people going down the river. I learned that the hard way. Here I am, like waist deep and this family floats by and asked if i needed any help. "nope, I'm good" as I smiled as they floated away. It was slightly awkward to say the least. Were the spots you found right on the creek as well? Know of any better spots you can clue me into that are slightly more private?

PIIIISH! I WISH THERE WAS!!!
all i know is the area i was there were a lot of private houses. and at the time i went there i was younger (about 13), i only stuck my leg in. besides my PARENTS(!) were there. the only time i think it would be private during the winter. and i dont want to risk hypothermia.
