SmallyWally Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Feel for you folks down south/southwest of St.Louis. Hate to imagine what the first snowstorm of the season with 10+ plus inches would do here. Wish you all well.

MOsmallies Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 It is like a merry go round on the bluff across from Bluff View dock as they pound away on the black river smallies that over winter in the lake. I hope they aren't keeping em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old plug Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Since your in the arcadia valley jerry does the name Janis ring a bell with you. I remember a time brushing the webb creek area with john Earnie and another guy. Ice was so thick you could drive a tractor on it. They went up into the woods and cut oak sapling oaks a towed them out onto the ice. When we got done it looked like a darn road project. I bet some of those piles are still there. Clearwater taught me to fish slow and work a spot good. As far as that hump goes. i always thought it would get run over in the future. Back then only a few of us fished it. you know I suppose there is another hump just outside the Peidmont Park marina harbor. If I remember right it was on the left. It was narrow and was a old road bed. It was pretty deep as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlfisher Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 4-5 inches at my house, and yes people amaze me at their inability to drive in the snow. The run on milk and cookies is silly too. It is a snow storm...not the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedFisherman Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Half inch of Ice from freezing rain last night here in NE AR, lines are really sagging, but hanging in there. Turned to sleet about 3 this morning, just in time hopefully, there really swaying in the wind tho. There getting heavy snow in Hardy, but still sleet here near the bootheel of MO. Expecting the snow to be here around 11, roads a mess. Everybody be safe!! There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted December 6, 2013 Root Admin Share Posted December 6, 2013 12 inches here? May be? Up till 2 am pushing snow around. Up on the dock- lots of fun. Looks like I'm getting up there again soon. Want to go fishing... hopefully later today. Trout like to eat in the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazerman Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Phil you say trout like to eat in the snow and i know that is true from some of the big Browns we have caught in the snow on the White. i have also seen it said LOZ crappie and bass bite great during snow snow storms. But I still have to wonder why that would be - fish eating during snow fall. Seems like it would drop the water temps real quick with all the snow hitting the water.

Maybe the extra light from the snow reflecting it into the water helps them see forage better? -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the gopro with ya if you go Phil, would love see some footage, bet it's pretty!! Pushing snow on boatdock roof not so good tho, that's a lot of snow you've got, would trade you some of our sleet right now. There's no such thing, as a bad day fishing!

Wayne SW/MO Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I just measured and we have 7" here. We got a very small amount of rain, then maybe 1/4" of sleet. We've had snow since, but it's light now, 12;00. Today's release is tomorrows gift to another fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
