About the Captain
Lake Shelbyville is one of the largest lakes in Illinois. With huge populations of crappie, walleye, and white bass, it is one of the states top fishing destinations. Spring is when I like to target crappie. I slow troll for these fish with multiple rods and double minnow rigs in open water. May and June can be very good for walleye and then the white bass action heats up after that. When these fish are schooled up its hard to beat the fast action. And if the water level is right the channel catfishing can be incredible, with fish exceeding 20lbs. Sangchris Lake is arguably the best flathead lake in the state. With the new state record last year it proves just that. Flathead fishing is generally slow, and takes a lot of patience, but can be good action with several big flathead and some channel cats to keep you busy. We do not land a flathead every trip but when we do, the size average is 30 to 40lbs with bigger fish landed quite often. Its generally colder during these spring/fall trips, so dress for the weather. Propane heaters and storage for extra clothing will be provided. These will be evening/night trips only.
