?????????

I've been off for awhile since selling my boat, have I missed somthing?

Haven't seen you for a bit, Bill. My step-dad passed away and it kind of puts things into perepective. He always wanted to come fising, but didnt care about species. Seems there might be a lesson somewhere, if I am not to dull to decipher it. Good to see you again.

Kind of a lousey fishing report...

As if I don't have enough to do, you want a fishing report, along with the KC Star and everyone else on the planet.

Was out there today and it was good.

OH You Want More???

Started up the White near Big M looking for that elusive topwater nip. Didn't get it, but the drag bite was fantastic with watermellon candy cenipedes in 6 to 14 ft. Yes, you heard me right. Real shallow. Probably in the neighborhood of 30 plus fish from 5:30 to 9 AM, and then switched to the shot. About a third being squeeker keepers, of the kentucky varity.

Had a hard time for a while and spoke to Beck. He was at 7 fathoms and I just could not believe the fish had moved out. Probably different fish than what I was working in the early light.

Moved out to that 40 ft. range, and immediatly started seeing fish. Most suspended. Crap!! has this already started. Suspenders were caught from 15 to 35 over 40 to 50 ft. Really a good bite with all 20 we caught being keeps. Beck, said they were eating his junk up at Kimberling this morn. With lots of very quality K's.

Last week before my sojourn to Alasky, both Beck and I had tremendious days of topwater up the White with both boats on seperate days catching 50 plus topwater fish. Nothing secret, just cloudy breezy overcast days during the middle of the week. Will say these topwater fish were extremely shallow. Many running shad up on the bank.

Thats all I know, don't ask again. Or I'll just make something up.

And another thing, if you ever post as me again I will hold your head underwater for 3 minutes.

T, extremely sorry to hear of the passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.

Holding a guys head under water for 3 minutes kinda harsh isn't it?

[Phil Lilley]

I can do that.

I noticed the top bite for me last week got worse and worse as the week went by. Cloudy, rainy days couldnt figure out why. Guess these guys just had too many fronts to deal with. For me also the top bite didnt start until 7 am- 8am, so dont put up the spook at 7am .
