Ken says: The lake level stands at 612.23 as of this report. The crest will be 613 on May 25th. Water temps are climbing in to the 70's on south end. With the spawn winding down and the crappie headed back out to deep water and feeding up they are very predicable. They will leave the spawning coves the same way they came in. We have been targeting the fronts of major creek arms and big spawning coves on the south end. Spider rigging or slip bobbers set at 17-20 feet will work here fishing standing timber or brush piles. White bass and walleye are being caught on lindy rigs with night crawlers or Manns jigging spoon or trolling shad raps or Bandit crank baits. You what to target main lake flats and ledges in 10-15 foot of water at point #3-5 and 6. Large Mouth Bass are being caught on spawn areas as well. 1/2 0z. jig and plastic or 10 in. red shad rubber worm or shallow diving crank baits or a frog or rat bait in the flooded bushes would be you best bet here. Have fun an be safe. Enjoy some up and coming summer fish on Lake Shelbyville... Tight lines
