Got my first whuppin' on Shelbyville for 2014. Fished 7 hours out of Wilborn to Beckett's. Took me all day to catch about a dozen fish just either side of 10". Best water temperature all day was 44 degrees and that was late in the day at cornbread bottoms. Fished Becketts for 2 hours without a bite. Fish that I did catch were in the standing timber 9' deep from cottage grove to the RR bridge.
Wish I was with you, not catching many fish. Your day was still better than mine. I was at work.
No worries bud, you ain't alone. I've yet to limit out and my buddy has been getting his bout every trip we make! We are bank fishing for now and he went Sunday for about 4 hours and caught his limit. I was still thawing out from Saturday!Quote:

Bird, if your buddy put in at Wilborn, I think I spoke to him while we launched. Great guy, offered to help me launch and even TRIED to put me on the right pattern. But noooooo, I thought I knew better.
enough to stink the skillet
Saw Dad B. today and I think he caught a few. I had a limit and a half in two hours. Once I found them It was sort of fun. Didn't even need a water taxi. 6-8 foot over 15 fow.
You mean you let my old man catch a few??Quote:
