Big Whites On Taylor Shoals!

[duckydoty]

DD'sMC and I wanted to fish Blunk hole but the water was up and the gravel bar on the other side was under water so we went on up to Taylor Shoals to try our luck there. Lots of dink males but some very nice sows mixed in also. Sows were dropping eggs after being caught. I Boga'd one of them and she weighed in just over 4 lbs! another was just over 3 lbs.

Will be back down there tomorrow!

I only fished till dark last night. Talked to a few that fished down there all night and they did not do very well after dark. Went back down there this morning and it was on again. Catching lots of dink males but some really good sows in the 3 pounds and up range.

Going back down this evening and spending the night down there. Should be some fun!

Taylor shoals is just up from Blunk Hole. Go through Galena and just before you get to the Town Square turn right on the road that goes past the little grocery store. Just up at the top of the hill is Blunk Rd. Turn left on Blunk Rd and follow it down to the outfitter that has all the canoes in his yard. Just before his house is another road on the left. Take that road down to the end and there is a parking spot with river access. Follow the access trail down to the river and follow the river down to Taylor shoals and the gravel bar. That is where the fish are right now. If you have a boat, just keep going down Blunk Rd and at the end there is a launch. Go up river about 3/4 of a mile.

Save some for us Phil!
