Thread: Mattoon 3/2

Fished for 3 hours...all I could handle since I forgot my carhart insulated jacked that goes over my coveralls. Fish were bitting good...hard to stay on them though, no matter if you were 'protected' from the wind it always snuck around the corner...water was 36 degrees pretty much everywhere on the lake. Kept 17 good uns. Four 12+ inchers and two 11+ inchers. Not bad for freezin my nips off! lol

All them nice whites and one big ole nice speck. NIce catch. I like catchn them big ole thick blacks.

CX.

Nice mess you got there bird!!!

Good catch bird!!

WTG... Good looking mess of fish, deep or shallow. I know what you mean about the wind. Fished below the spillway last night, man was the wind cold. We ended up with three nice walleye. We froze out about 7:30, come on... SPRING

You guys are all tougher than me--I freeze out in the garage--:D:D:D

Frank them dang garadges can get mighty cold as well! lol

Fishfryed- These were all on brush in 10-13fow...good ol homemade brush piles :D

Hey, Birdy, do you think I might be able to find those brush piles with my SI unit and put the waypoint on my favorites list? There ain't much water at the depth you mentioned that I haven't scanned and put the brush on my GPS. Even when you white out pictures, I can see enough to know where you were.

I wear my fur lined jock this time of the year. I will be putting in my boat this week.
Joel said he might have minnows soon.

I paid my $40 fee, I am #25 like I have been for the last several years. I reckon I could have been #1, I was the first to ask about stickers this year.

I plan to fish Shelbyville a lot this year but it is awful easy just to walk 50 feet to my boat and go from there.

Nice fish Birdman
