First time at Shab

[Carly]

Friday will be my first time fishing at Shab, I was wondering if somebody could help me by suggesting what fish are active and some suggested areas. I know it is a good time for muskie but are the walleye or bass biting at all? And is the dam the best spot for walleye? Any help you can give would be really appreciated. Thanks,

Carly

I basically fish for bass, but sometimes get an assortment of fish, including some walleye. I would say that the bass fishing is not quite as good as springtime now, but definitely better than midsummer. I have really noticed the crappie bite slowing up recently (they must be going really deep) and since I fish almost exclusively with artificial lures, I don't know about the bluegill. There are definitely walleye along the face of the dam, as well as both largemouth and smallmouth bass. You should read some of the recent posts here to get a better idea.
