South Fork is probably the muddiest fork in the lake.
Went Wed. Caught lots of fish but only one keeper a big fat 12 incher. Put in at 107 ramp and started on the north bank trees just east of the ramp. Caught a few dinks. Moved to the big cove on the south side of the lake just before the South 107 Bridge. Caught some more dinks. Had a bad trolling motor battery so we went back to the ramp and switched batteries. Went to Shell Branch and caught a lot but dinks again. Headed back to the ramp and fished the cove there. Again a lot of dinks but that is where we caught the keeper. Did not see a lot of shad anywhere we went.
Water Temps 54 to 57. You could see a Blk/Chart jig about 3 to 4 inches deep. All fish caught on jigs with a crappie nibble.
Maybe this big cold snap coming will move the shad into the creeks and coves.
I read on the South Fork website where someone posted he was fishing some of the same areas we were and he limited out. I guess we weren't holding our mouths right.
