Upper White River - 4/12/23

[bobby b.]

Fished upstream of Shell Knob today.  Caught north of 20 - all LM or Ky.  Is there SM up there?  Most caught on 1/8 or 1/16 oz Ned jigs - mostly PB&J Hula Sticks.  I started using these last year and never went back to the TRD.  Generally caught on the cove/creek side of 45 degree gravel points in 8 - 15 fow.  The one pictured below was on the bank in a pocket.  WT 64 - 66 degrees.  I did not see any beds but the water was a little dingy and my old eyes don't see that well but I really don't think there are many if any.

Yes there are SM up there. Mostly on gravel and certain locations. Campbell Point is really the beginning of more jaws, but they are at SK. 

From your description of your day that would not be great target locations for SM up there. 

They can be anywhere, but think flat gravel. 

Good Luck.
