Gonna meet dad and brother at one of these two the end of September.
Which one and why?
Will be fishing for bass/crappie, both rods and gear will be in the boat.
25hp on boat, good for either lake.
Have never fished Sangchris, been 20 years since fished Shelbyville.
Id go to Shelbyville. Lots of places to fish and get out of wind if needed
We went to Shelbyville on Wednesday and pulled crank baits. Fished for 8 hours on main lake points and past many brush piles. We caught probably over 30 short fish, didn't keep track. We caught one 15in Bass and a 14in. walleye. We had 8 crappie over 10 and 4 under. Water temp was in the mid 80s. Hope this helps.
End of September can be a tricky time in our area. Generally you’re dealing with transitioning fish from summer to fall haunts/habits. I find this time frame to be the toughest to consistently catch bigger crappie (Shelbyville). However, that being said, you should really be able to start to get the whites on windblown gravel banks, flats, or points as well as any rip rap especially with wind. It has been a fantastic year at the ville for whites. Just my 2 cents. Have fun either way!

A command decision has recently been made, Sangchris it is.
OP clearly states he is meeting at the end of September. Thanks for telling me what month it is though!Quote:

Sangchris was picked simply because none of us have ever been there.
Don't forget 25horse motor limit. you can get by with a trolling motor if your batteries are good.
Yep, 25hp on the boat, 2 27 series batteries for the tm.
Your golden :highfive
:biggrinGood luck and be sure to give us a report. I never fished Sangchris. I have downed a few bottles though!!!
For Sangchris, which ramp is recommended? I'll be coming from the south.
West Hill Access or Strawkas Point Access would be your choices... West Hill being on west side of lake. Strawkas being on south east side, both easy if coming from Interstate 55.
Crappie 24- Thank you very much !
At Sangchris Your best bet would be west boat dock due cooler water. Strawkus ramp is on middle arm which is the hot water discharge arm. I was on the lake 3 weeks ago and the middle arm was 90+ degrees

You answered my next question, what is the water flow. I just got back from driving around up there. The entrance to strawkus is pothole alley.
Thank you.
west ramp is closest and you will fish down towards dam probably a 5 minute or so boat ride
