Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 15, 2019 Root Admin Posted February 15, 2019 This isn't a false alarm. There are shad coming through the turbines at Table Rock Dam. Reported to me via FB Messenger, Tyler Paulsell told me he caught a bunch of trout last evening on white and they were spitting up shad. He also saw shad in the water. Duane and I boated to the dam a little before noon today. Had to see for ourselves. No boats! Only one gull and he was diving. We made 3 passes. Used 1/8th oz white jigs, 4-pound line. Duane caught 6 rainbows on the first drift - I caught 3 I think. Did catch a nice rainbow. The other drifts were not as productive. The wind is out of the east and with 4 units cranking, it's tough to get and keep a jig on the bottom. In this video, notice Duane isn't cranking much at all. No way to tell how long this will last. May not a day, may be a week. But they should be taking white jigs and other shad-like lures for a while. cracklebak, JestersHK, BilletHead and 3 others 5 1

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted February 15, 2019 Author Root Admin Posted February 15, 2019 Notice Duane is hardly reeling... keeping it on the bottom. He lost more jigs than I did, but he caught more fish. DanDZ, Jeff Polys, JestersHK and 4 others 7
Seth Posted February 16, 2019 Posted February 16, 2019 I can't wait to see how he does dragging cranks this week. Hopefully the fiesta lasts till next weekend! All these white jigs I'm fixing to tie better not be for naught! trythisonemv, snagged in outlet 3 and JestersHK 3
