Date Fished: 9/24/2006
Water Temperature: 68
Water Clarity: 1 foot Fished a club t'ment on Shelbyville 24 sept 06. 15 Guys, no limits, top weight 8 lbs. It was a blustery post frontal day. The two previous days were marked with relatively warm windy and stormy conditions. The night before the front blew through leaving the grey overcast , 50 F temps and wind from the wnw at 10-15mph. By the endof the day the temps were in the upper 60s. I didnt have much success. I had 10 bites. All but one were short (and it was a scrawny 1-12 keeper). I used a tan/blk/watermellon jig with a green pump zoom super chunk trailer. I fished wood all day. I had one bite in the coves and nothing in the creek backs. The shad were not there yet. I also threw a spinner bait and buzz bait (early) with no bites. The guy that won caught his on jigs and buzz baits-all on "secret brush piles and hedge trees" planted on the main lake. The guys that do well in the late summer know where these planted trees are at. The bite was bad and the hits I got were short fish. Some guys reported only getting one bite or even no bites. I guess I was lucky at least I had a few bites. I expect the bite will pick up pretty soon. We were just too early for the creek bite and too late for the point bite.
