Hey guys, Dan here with Tight Lines Guide Service. I haven't posted in here for a while so I thought I would update you guys on how the fishing has been on Lake Shelbyville. Well, it's November and...

I'm still whacking limits on Lake Shelbyville with some excellent quality too. Black/chartreuse and blue/chartreuse jigs fished 10 to 20 ft. on structure. This was my limit from Wednesday.

10.81 won a tournament last weekend with big fish 1.89. The same guys will probably win it this weekend if they fish the crappie USA this weekend. They've been on fire lately.

Black/chartreuse jig about a foot and a half under a cork has been doing pretty good. As for hazards I would recommend a good map and be careful. There are a lot of hazards that aren't marked with...

We are catching a lot of fish with a jig and cork right now and also spider rigging for pre-spawners.

Went scouting some different areas today for upcoming guide trips and they were biting! Black/chartreuse and orange/chartreuse in 10 to 12 feet of water was the ticket today. We only fished about 4...

Caught a 3 man limit Monday 04.12.21 single pole jig fishing on structure 15-20 feet deep. Had to really jig them up. They don't want the bait just sitting still. We utilized the Garmin Livescope...

What can I do to keep plastic melted and ready? It's getting old constantly having to use a microwave to melt the plastic again and again. Is there a solution like a hot plate and pot or something...

Planning on coming the weekend of May 29-30 for some sprint car races and was wanting to fish also. I'm guessing this will be spawn/post spawn time? I have watched some of Mike Baker's videos of...

Thinking of heading down to either Egypt or Rend. I know they're biting on rend but does anyone have any reports for Egypt?

We fished Lake Shelbyville Tuesday and Wednesday and managed to catch a few on a tough bite. Livescope really helped anticipate a very subtle bite on main lake wood 15-20 feet deep. Clinton Lake...

I have an 80# Minnkota Ultrex, 52" shaft, non link, US2. Asking $1700 and really don't want to ship it would much prefer a local pick up. I live in Warrensburg IL.

The wife and I are going to be in Carbondale this weekend and do any of you southern IL guys know of any canoe/kayak rental places in Southern IL?

More specifically gun creek?

Getting the itch for some gills, anyone got a report of the action on Kentucky Lake? Is it too early?

Thanks

Clinton has better #'s but Decatur has better size. Decatur gets real muddy after a rain.

Any reports for Grenada? I know Sardis is probably a better bet but I'm not looking for numbers I'm looking for that 1 big one.

Still a bunch of standing stuff in coves

Midsouth 702 glow has been the ticket for me.

Shelbyville has been tough for me lately, headed out this morning and gonna try something different. Wish me luck.

I'm using plastic from lurecraft. It's their "green" plastic in formula #552

Still very new to making my own baits and am having a problem with air bubbles in the plastic. I heat it in a Pyrex cup in a microwave. I've tried slow heating anywhere between 15 and 30 second...

This is why I troll more often these days, especially on the weekends when the weather is nice. I get to talk to a lot of people as I troll right past them catching fish. The way I look at it is...

Catching a lot spider rigging jigs tipped with a minnow about 13 ft. deep. Just cover as much water as you can. Water temps have really climbed in the past week, 72 yesterday afternoon, and I have...

Had brothers Mike and Mark from Indiana on the boat Tuesday for Mike's 65th birthday. The fish rewarded Mike with a great present! We were spider rigging jigs tipped with minnows about 13 ft. deep...

SOLD

Still for sale

I had trips out Friday through Sunday on Lake Shelbyville this weekend and we had 3 man limits all 3 days. We were spider rigging Midsouth tubes tipped with a minnow about 8 ft. deep. Productive...
