Bigger Whites

[Tightline]

Last night we went to Taylor shoals and the Whites were going up by the hundreds right at our feet.They were mixed with alot of bigger males and females.One boat came down saying they were piled up right below the swift water at the corner,but it was hard to get them to bite.I'll agree with that we only had 7.The few boats that were bragging they had caught them said they were using rebels.

Normally when they move up to spawn they won't bite will on the spawning shoal (it is like hamburgers and sex, one at a time). If you move down stream, you should be able to get them on the way to the spawning shoal.

Try small sluggos... like rebels, they can't leave them alone.

Dutch we were below the shoal at Taylors,the bait (minnow)fishermen were doing good in the middle of the day.Seen 2 big stringers with some huge sows and those magnum males that are 1 1/2--- 2 lb and some of the little ones too,they left about 5:30. There were bunches of them headed up.

Duckyd, you take 248 out of Galena west,when you get to the top of the big long hill, Blunk rd. is right there go south on it and you'll run right into the river and a loading ramp,that is the Blunk hole.If you drive or walk up stream about a mile that is Taylor shoals.The Whites are in there,trust me!

Me and my wife went last night(Saturday) at Taylor Shoals. I caught 3 before dark and then together we caught 12 more by 8:30, then they just shut down and wouldn't bite. They're in there some but not like I've seen before. We caught only males.

Two friends of mine went Saturday and caught 25 but they were above Taylors at the bluff hole.They moved up.Maybe this is just the first run which is usually mostly males and more females are on the way.From what I seen Friday evening it was a pretty good mixture of all sizes.I to have seen more fish shoaling but its been a few years.

Have heard of them being caught at the Shoals Motel and even the Y bridge but don't know how true it is.
