RE: time to play
Well the final chapter of our weekend is now history. We got to Shelbyville lake yesterday 7/15 around 6pm. Lots of boaters were loading up. We unloaded and headed down to Lithua springs marina for a bite to eat. By the time we left there the lake was almost clear. We loaded up for the night and headed down to Skull cove and got there right at dark. Well you know how low the water has been. The weeds and grass has grown down to the water's edge. So now the water is up so the fish are all in the weeds. It is frustrating to see just the grass moving and not be able to see the fish. The water clarity is so so. Well all we were able to get there was some gar. In fact we shot two short nose gar that would have beat the state records. One at 6.13 and one at 7.7 The problem was the picture of the weight on the scale did not come out. We ended up with 10 short nose, 4 common and 2 buffalo, one large mouth and one small mouth. By 10pm we started having steam on the water. that was the largest problem with seeing fish. Did see a giant long nose in the 5-6 foot range. He gave us at least an hour more adrenelin. Finally at 2:30 could not hardly see anything, so we called it a night.
