Date Fished: 4/28/2006
Water Temperature: 58
Water Clarity: 1 foot Fished Shelbyville today--water in the upper part of the lake is fairly muddy but caught 3 fish boiling a spinner bait in about 4 feet of water. Moved down to the middle part of the lake and it was much clearer. I fished jigs/plastic trailers and picked up 3 small keepers. Worked my way down the lake and found slightly less turbid water. My buddy caught 5 fish (4 nice keepers, one over 5 lbs) on a deep diving crankbait and I caught 6 fish (3 keepers) on a 3/8 oz black blue jig with a blue zoom big chunk.
Fishing is not easy but there are some fish to be caught. Our best 5 went about 14 lbs. Hopefully we can do that in a tournament tomorrow (april 29).
btw--have been a fair number of muskie anglers on the lake--I hear, never saw, that they are catching a few fish in the 36-40" range. Not sure how true these rumors are; I never fish for them but have caught a few fishing for bass
