Upper White Doldrums

[SKMO]

Been a while since I have posted. Some new job assignments and the majority of the Sumer spent in Montana, plus I try to stay off the lake anyway in the heat and jet-ski season.

Doing the usual upper-White thing from K-City to Big M. I was catching fish pretty fair until about a week ago. Strictly deep fish 32-42", drop-shot stuff as Babler has relayed.

I have made two EARLY morning forays when I got on at 0330 hrs and did extremely well both times for larger fish until the sun came up. Caught about 5 fish each trip between 3-5#, LM & SM. All on spinnerbait which is all I ever throw that time of day (night). Rarely catch a short on this early AM deal.

I was doing OK on the deep fish just like Babler described until about a week ago, pretty much fishing gravel breaks at 30-40' depth with the d-shot, or dragging jigs or c-rigs at same depth. About 3 out of 4 fish were nice legal K's.

The last week I have been out 3 times and must say I have pretty much stunk the lake up. If you noticed an odor that was me. I think I am on fish but they are not very agressive to say the least. I talked with 2 real good Shell Knob fisherguys this afternon and they had done worse than me recently, if that is possible.

Oh well, the last couple Oct's have been tough and I expected nothing different this year.

I will continue to chase rumors of hot bites that never materialize and let you know of my struggles.
