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.

Good stuff!

Yes there are smallmouth, and some good ones, but not bunches of them.
