Upper white Last Few Days

[SKMO]

Well the high hopes I pinned on the weatherman's forcast for this weekend fell through the floor. Was hoping more rain, (from forecasts 5 days ago) and moderate weather after that, but turned into a piddle of rain and cold temps and wind. Not a good combination. Actually a bad set up.

I feel kind of like Gilda Radner playing Old Lady Emily on SNL several years ago as I say to everyone: Never mind....... Sorry I brought it up.

Had a nice day on upper White during a 4 hour venture Thurs. Caught stickbait fish that had read the chapter on how they were supposed to bite and 2 of us got into double digits on them. Half obvious legal but no braggers, other half were legal wanna-be's. which they will be this year. In other words nice sub-legal fish. Bites on stikbaits were out in 20' of water or more.

Fri got out for same small trip as I thought it might hold up or improve but was wrong on that. Bad wrong as I never boated a fish. Saw one nice one. Sat shot out early in the AM as I could see from the radar I had 3-4 hours between storms so did a quick AM milk run and boated one 7" crappie on a rogue.

Moral of the story: Not sure there is one but keep on trying. Right now I expect to have some real dud trips but I will gamble anytime on the possibility of being on the water when something is going on and getting some nice bites. When general weather and sun, clouds, wind, time of day, water release, and your skills all line up there is going to be a bite from here on out on these late winter fish.

Just a matter of days until the overall water temp comes up a degree or two and then we are wide open
