    Default Shelbyville 11/28/08

    My brother and I got on the water at the Whitley ramp about 6:45 this morning and in a little over an hour we had our 2 man limit . No pictures this time . My wife had the camera . We fished lay downs and brush piles till the wind made us look for other areas to fish . The fish we were catching were anywhere from 4 to 9 feet deep . We were using chartreuse and red/chartreuse tubes on 1/16 ounce jigs . The bite slowed a bit and I changed to pink/chartruse tubes and it seemed like the fish just turned on . We were just having way to much fun . Water temp was 36 to 37 degrees . Looks like bad weather is going to be coming our way . O by the way I met lamplighter today . It was nice talking to you . Get out and get some before the weather turns off bad .

    See ya Kevin ><)))*>
    Excellent

    yeah we like it a lot. Sure beats the crap out of our old johnson thats for sure!

    We went over and fished some brush piles along the bank where we caught em 2 days ago and tore em up again. Didnt keep anything, but we easily had our limit. It was nothing short of a blast.
