Good news! A new fishing report is coming tomorrow because we have new info to report this week. The white bass fishing has been excellent. We fished every day and caught loads of white bass each day from point 3 south. Check the report tomorrow and we will summarize what is working for us. We kept 45-65 a day that we cleaned to eat for our annual fish fry. YUM!! We caught quite a few big white bass too…….. that we put back.

Barb and I have fished for whites the last two nights from 6:30 to 8 pm and found them schooling on the new shad fry. We kept 64 the first night and 49 the next. We caught them on the two jig rig and we had fun doing it. We found fish on the surface from point 3 south to the dam.

Started our trolling and casting crankbaits for walleye. Only caught one short fish and two largemouth. Decided to head up Sand Creek to look for white bass and found them around 6 PM. Caught around 70 fish with several in the 11-13 inch range. One fish was 13.5 inches.

Fished for 6hrs today for bass and walleye with crank baits and texas rigged worms. We caught a few small bass and 1 17in walleye and 1 small mouth bass, it was only about 8in long. Thats the 4th small mouth I’ve ever caught in this lake in 39 years of fishing it. We also got into some schooling white bass feeding on the new shad fry,we caught them on the 2 jig rig fishing it fast on the surface. All and all it was a fun day and fishing is getting better. Good luck and take someone fishing.

For anyone interested; If you want to catch walleye on Lake Shelbyville, book a trip with Don or Barb. I gained at least 5 years of experience with Don on a single June afternoon in 2003. And that isn’t even close to an exaggeration. He is a great teacher, and I’m sure Barb is too! They can show you the proper knots, baits, depths, sonar usage and other things to look for to help you consistently catch walleye in May and June (maybe all year as far as I know). I should say that I do not work for Don and Barb, I’m only providing a testimonial from a very satisfied customer. I will state beyond a shadow of a doubt that I would not be catching fish like the 7lb 5oz walleye appearing on this blog if it weren’t for Don.

Fished for crappie today for 4 hours and found some fish in the creeks 15 to 18 foot of water. We used tube jigs to catch what we had and found that most were 2 to 3 feet off the bottom. We tried shallow brush and all we could catch was small bass. Did see lots of bass and shad fry today so it looks like the spawns made it with the high water. I’ll be bass and walleye fishing Thursday let you kown what we do.
