    Default Shelbyville 9-16


    Alright folks, here it is. I ventured out today in the gentle breeze in search for some of them paper mouth things. Found A LOT of little ones, good sign for the future I guess. Probably a 20-1 dink to keeper ratio. Ended up with a limit, no real pigs. Had a blast once I found the bigger ones! I guess I did have one nice one, a 13 and 7/8 incher caught and released, There is a picture of it floatin around to a few board members! Caught em all....well...north of the dam All on jigs. Water still in the low 70's.

    Nice catch birdman, lets see way north of the dam... in this wind I think I would what some concrete under foot and a pole to lean on and look for crappie nipples laying around at all the good fishing spots.. just guessing though.

    Come on Tyler, if those fish were laying on a blue tarp. I would have learned a lot more. Guess I just need to figure it out on my own. Good job.
    I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're goin' and hook up with them later.

    If you were north of the dam then I know exactly where you caught them---------In the mouth.

    If they were laying on a blue tarp, there would have been a video with a date stating when the fish were caught. I know Tyler doesn't do it but I think there may be some guys that use the same picture over and over again. You can't do that with a video. Anyone that can post a picture, can post a video clip.

    I got my new GoPro camcorder yesterday. I will post a review of it as soon as I get to use it more. I am mostly hunting these days, so the video may show my dogs instead of some fish.
