Shelby 3-25

Had Josh and Chad out with me today and we had a pretty good day! We fished 2-10 foot of water and caught em in the 2ft range, 5-7ft range and 10ft range, it didn't really seem to matter. I think you have to find the fish and then it seems to not be to hard. Lots of people are catching them. We caught fish both corking and verticle jigging and again had some real quality fish. Josh and Chad seemed to have better luck with an white 1/4 oz head with a bobby garland tube in silver sparkle and chart. While I was using an 8th oz chart. head with a chart/red speckle tube. We finished with our 30 overs and 9 really nice unders and tossed back probably close to another 10 or so more over ten inches.

Good mess of fish...whats the water temps and how close do you think the females are from really hitting the banks.

Keep up the good work!!! Im sure the clients will keep comin for you.

Good job ...... I went out today and caught them but it seemed like I fished 6-8 spots before I found any good numbers. Also a ton of boats out. I wonder how everyone else did because I was ready to give up before I found a nice honey hole. At one point I could see 20you boats around me.

Good job Tyler . I didn't do as well . I finished with 6 overs and 5 unders and one nice gill . Lots of shorts . Left Coalshaft and went to Wilborn and noticed the males are a lot darker up there . I left around 10:30 should have stuck around a little longer and finished out my limit .

See ya Kevin ><)))*>

Hey now, leave a few for us lonely bank fisherman.

good job birdman, looks like a fun day again

That sure is a nice stringer of fish, nice catch! I wish that lake was a little closer to home.

Good fish, way to get on em agian! After seeing Birdman try to dance at EIU last week im thinking he would be willing to trade anyone even up a fishing trip for some dance lessons....who woulda thunk birds got 2 left feet! haha

after a hard day on the water fishin maybe his sea legs was gettin the best of him lol ......... I cant dance either birdman and wont even try any more
now I just shuffle along

Keep in mind I bet I only contributed to 6 or so of those fish!!! I guess I just had one of those days. Its just funny somedays its like I'm not the same fisherman I was the day before!! Maybe I should of drank more coffee!!

jdubs- yea it was packed out there today. Right now im lucky enough that I have one area that not many people are using that has a ton of fish in it. Other than that one area its either hit or miss, we pulled a couple nice ones off of every brush pile and about 8 nice ones off another and then that one area we pulled probably 25 from it and about 20 the day before. They arent everywhere, just got to keep moving but thats why its fishin not catchin right?!

kevin- Yes the males are pretty dark up in wilborn. But im also catching them pretty dark on the main lake too. They make for some fun bobber action!

Ol chickenguy is somethin else!! I wont even go into detail about him haha. Dancing has never been my specialty, if im on the dance floor its usually just to watch the females! :)

cblades- Everyone has those kind of days, been there done that. You were just having really bad luck with getting hung so much and have all had those days. On the other hand I think Josh waxed both of our butts yesterday. He had it goin pretty good for sure!

Yes he probably did. I guess I'll let it happen one time!! Had a blast. I am probably gonna check out my southern spots this weekend. I'll clue ya in if I find fish so you can change up your scenery a little! Make sure you save some time this summer during those nice 90 degree days to come down to the south end and catch em southern style!!

Cblades,

Good luck we caught one 10incher today on the south end it is tough down there. My buddy said he was killing em around coalshaft and up into wilborn. Should have went north
I guess.

We caught several that were thrown back and were over 10. Tyler is a great guide and a heck of a blast to be around. I had to really work to get my limit through all the snags I had. But eventually I got to my 10 overs. Just had a struggle using 4lb mono! Can't wait for the weekend!
