Fishing Report

This fishing report is presented as a service of LITHIA SPRINGS MARINA on beautiful Lake Shelbyville. It will be updated as conditions change and fishing success varies. The report is composed from reports of various fishermen. 

October 24, 2011
The lake level is at  summer pool and holding steady. The water temperature is high 50's to low 60's and the water color is stained to clear.   Be careful if you do go out on the lake.  Safety first.  Wear your life jackets and have a safe trip.

The crappie are fair  with most of them being caught along the shoreline in the timber and laydowns.  Use minnows, jigs, or tube jigs.

Largemouth bass are fair, being caught on the main lake points and the inner cove points and structure.  Use crankbaits, plastic baits, and white spinner baits.

White bass are showing some activity on the flats, use a spinner like a Rooster Tail or jigs. They are also breaking topwater. Use spinners and top water lutes.

Walleye are slow.

Muskie are fair hitting crank baits along the rip rap.
