Thread: Shabbona 7/25

Me and my 2 boys went to shabbona to see what was going on. Everyone I talked to said crappie were in deep trees. Since it's a 10hp lake I was stuck to side scanning with trolling motor. Got good images at 1.2mph which surprised me cause I've never scanned at such a slow speed. Well after about an hour of scanning majority of the deep trees. I came across a sharp break in creek channel where it ran close to some trees and brush. Went from 30+ to 6ft. A crazy drop right. We set up on the downwind side and dropped are bobber rigs set a 4.5 foot and it was on like donkey kong. Non-stop action for about 2hrs. They were in that shallow brush and trees thick. Caught about 45 or so. Only kept 20. My boys had a blast. It was a shallow bite. Mostly 10-11 in fish
