Lake Shelbyville has really turned into the prime spot to catch walleye and sauger these last few years. Raising the fry up to a decent size in the rearing pond has insured a healthy population and last year with a mild spring they harvested the biggest crop ever and put about 350,000 in the lake.
Mid May until mid-June is by far the best time to walleye fish on Lake Shelbyville. The shad have two or three successful spawns during that time frame and the walleye/sauger and white bass go on feeding frenzies.
Lake Shelbyville crappie spawn is a little different than most lakes since it is so big and a flood control lake to boot.
When asked what you do in your spare time since I am a full time fishing guide. My answer is simple I go crappie fishing down on Kentucky lake to be more exact I go to Paris Landing and fish the Big Sandy. I have fished all over this massive lake but the winter ledge fishing is what I love the most.
Lake Shelbyville an Army Corp flood control lake has been up all spring. Now it is ten-feet over summer pool. The lake has fluctuated all through the crappie spawn and the white crappie either dumped their eggs in deep water or just absorbed them.
