    Default What ya think?


    Just sitting here and getting ready to do some ice fishing this weekend, I started thinking about fishing Lake Shelbyville. Several things came to mind, 1st was how nice the crappies where right before the lake froze over, Man I was catching some nice ones, 2nd was that no one has fished the ville for awhile now because of the ice. 3rd was the lack of white bass this year. 4th was the massive amounts of bait fish this year maybe because of the lack of white bass. So what I'm trying to say is I think the crappie fishing sould be awesome this year, maybe a new lake record could be in store for someone. Tell me what you think.

    I can't offer a honest opinion have only fished the Ville three time over last three years but I hope you are right since I'm now retired and plan on going there this spring as soon as ice is gone and weather warms up. Looks to be a great fishery with plenty of structure. Just ate the last bag of crappie from fall trip last night and they were excellent.

    Pat - I thought I read on here earlier that someone had been down to the Collinisville show and had reports from the state on our three big reservoirs. If I remember correctly, they said the crappie, sauger, and walleye fishing on the Ville should be good this year.

    Pat---sounds like you are suffering from cabin fever, with all those ramblings.--HA!!! I know what you're talking about though. I heard that there was 12 inches of ice at bo woods and with the forecast, you'll have to get an extension for an ice auger. Come on Spring. Only 7 1/2 more weeks.
