Fishing Report: September 16-20, 2018

Best Bet…Crappie

Sorry the report sounds the same week after week but until this heat let’s up and we really get into fall the fish will remain in their same patterns. Soon very soon things will change up big time.

The lake is at 600.1 at the time of this writing. That is only a couple inches over summer pool and gin clear from one end to the other. Water temps are running low eighties.

Tina and I went down last Saturday and stocked the shelves at Gregory's Resort. Stop in and tell Rich hello. They now have all the Deep Ledge Jigs you will need to crappie fish this fall as well as our Candystripers for the white bass. Gregory's is down by Lithia Resort on Lake Shelbyville in Illinois. ...

Thanks for your page and your emails. We can't keep up with your group but we had a great time yesterday @ south of loan point. 16-18 fow, "old" lay downs. 🐟

More than one way to get those tasty summer crappie. Each week our guides give me a run down on how they caught their fish. One is side scanning down trees in twenty-feet of water with his bird Mega 12 and the other is using his to find suspended fish off points and then setting up and spider rigging them. Both are using live bait but one is also using our Deep Ledge Jig Baby Bugs. The tensile on them really attract the bigger fish in the gin clear water. Both guides are catching over a hundred crappie a day, so non-stop action. That is Lake Shelbyville during the summer this lake has millions of crappie in it. Give us a shout out on my Facebook page or shoot us an email on our website. www.LakeShelbyvilleGuide.com and while you are there check out the Baby Bugs and where you can get them. Or you can just call us at 217-840-1221. Our guide service is the largest and one of the most experienced on Lake Shelbyville. ... See MoreSee Less
