Lake Shelbyville 23 Sept 07 Club Tournament

Lake level is about 598, water clear on the south end stained north. Water temps 70 in the morning 73 by afternoon. Clear 70 at takeoff record high 92 at weigh in. Obviously due to the hot weather no turnover yet. I didn’t prefish but the previous weekend sampled it by doing a small jackpot tournament in which the fishing was worse than lousy. Only one fish caught by the entire crew. The conditions had not changed.

We had 16 fishermen and only 9 fish were weighed in. The first place guy –a Lake S’ville specialist-had 4 (11-3) off of two planted brushpiles (stroking with jigs). My hat’s off to him cause it was tough. I had no keepers and 7 shorts. I knew that the fishing would be bad but not THIS bad. I stuck with jigs and C rigged plastics all day. There was no point in wasting energy on horizontal baits. There was no topwater bite early either. The other 5 fish caught were caught on plastics. I concentrated on structures (points) and wood near deep water. Even though they didn’t count my short fish definitely preferred the lizard to worms and senkos. I didn’t get bit on a jig. Overall it was typical Lake Shelbyville in the late summer. I’m sure the fishing will improve as the water cools and the fishing pressure starts to taper off.
