Up The River? Whites Still Running

[Lance34]

Put in at Hickory creek today. Ran up to Joes Creek and caught a few crappie around cypress trees cypress trees in 10 fow and then on the way back stopped by endens bluff and caught a boat load of shorts and two keepers. One was 14.25". The ones I cleaned for supper tonight still all had eggs in them. Temp at edens was 63 and joes was 60

Goofed there, dreaming I was back on Reelfoot. I meant cedar trees.

They are running very strong right now, but you can't just throw a line in anywhere and expect to catch them. I spent all day Wednesday trying to find them, I drove to 3 different rivers and hiked probably a total of 8-10 miles up and down them through the day. It was one here, one there, very slow... until I finally found them at about 3:00. Then it was a bite on almost every cast for 3 hours I quit when I hit 100.

Put your time in and keep moving around until you find them. Focus on deeper holes below the shoals, fishing slowly near the bottom, or deeper runs just above the shoals. I was fly fishing with Clousers, but any small shad-imitating bait should catch them.
