White Bite is Still On, Taneycomo

[Phil Lilley]

White Bite is still on.  But I've found it to be better below Fall Creek rather than above it.

We saw shad coming through thick at our place a week ago Sunday so all these fish, probably clear down past the Landing, saw these and fed on them.

I'm using a 1/16th oz jig because I want the jig not to sink very fast.  I'm not jerking the jig but shaking it to give it a wiggle - like the shad that were going down last week.... stunned, or lifeless and letting it just sink real slow.

I worked the bluff starting well down from FC to Short Creek, then starting where Sun Valley used to be down to our place.  I caught 23 rainbows, mostly small stockers.  But I caught these 2 rainbows and a few others in the 13-14 inch range.  The wind was tough until later in the evening when it died.  But so did the bite.

Hey Phil - Do you know if any of those giant triploid browns are still in there?  If so, you'd think they'd be feeding on these shad and getting even bigger!

I sure hope there are some in there still, I'm surprised one or two hasn't shown up this year yet

By the way that's a great video Phil.  Some quality bow's right there, that first one was a tank!

That rainbow hasn't missed many meals.

I haven't heard of any huge brown sightings, even through the fall season so may be not.  Hard to say for sure.

We only caught one brown the other day,  I'm sure they are all gaining weight though based off the rainbows bellies we saw.  Fish were stuffed fat. Hoping it stays hot till I get back down next weekend!

were staying down lake past the landing.  Not this weekend but the next.  I'm really hoping they are still running two units then but I bet they aren't.....and I bet you want it to slow down ahahahha.  We will have to see what we can do man.
