How's the clarity at Lake Shelbyville? I am wanting to make a trip over there tomorrow for a chance at some big gar. Kinda worried that all this rain is going to make the water like chocolate milk.
Well, I went out last night, Dave was out there also. The clarity is only like 6", can see the gar lightly, should clear up in 3 days, unless get more rain.
The clarity varried depending on the cove we were in. The main area we fished had around 2-3 feet clarity. We had several opportunities at big gar and schools of big buffalo, but we couldn't hit anything. Ended up with 2 small (24-30") gar, onethat went 44-45" and a 12# buffalo. I'm embarrassed to say I missed more than one 5 footer. My excuse is that we have had no more than 6" clarity anywhere else we fished this year, so being able to see the fish at 2-3 feet was screwing with my aim point.
