Shell Knob Bridge

[T-RockJaws]

Fishing seems to be getting a little better out there... Fished out of the bridge last night and headed up the white. Although we did not have our first keeper in the boat until a little after 11:00, we were at least able to get a few bites and actually hook up with several of those bites. The past few weeks have produced a lot of bites, but it has been extremely hard to get hook ups.

Threw a jig both before and after dark, but really could not get much interest in them. Partner stuck pretty much with a big worm and I was throwing a 4 inch craw (black with blue flake). In about 5 hours we were able to boat about 16 fish with 2 solid keepers.

There were several 10 and 11 pound bags weighed in last night. A solid summer pattern may finally be shaping up, good luck!

Billfo - I like to throw a 10 to 12 inch worm texas rigged with 3/8 to 1/2 oz. weight. Before dark, stick with plum or something similar then swithc to darker colors after the sun goes down. Good luck!
