    Default Otter Lake ?


    Usually go to Shelbyville but its an hour and fifteen minute drive so I decided to stay closer to home (9miles). I fished north end for 6 hrs and never had a bite. Switched colors ,tried shallow ,and worked my way out to the break hoping fish would be moved out a little. No luck ! Anyone have some advice ?

    They’re that deep still. I had between 64-70 water temp. Not doubting you just thought they’d be shallow waiting ? Guess I thought wrong Lol!

    Are you sure that wasnt the air temp? LOL That seems pretty warm for Otter this time of year.
