Members zbarker Posted March 3, 2010 Members Posted March 3, 2010 Is the Shad Kill over? Any signs in the lake of shad in the coves or around darn, and whats the lake temp now? I have heard from a couple different people down there that it may be over. Whats the word, if any? Also, is there anywhere u can buy sculpin? Or is it better to just catch them youself?
fozzie. Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 I think you'd be hard-pressed to find live sculpins at a local bait dealer, they're pretty tough to keep alive in aquariums. You'd be better off catching your own. Tom.

The lake temp is anywhere from 43 degrees to 52 in some spots. With the corps not geneating much only 2-5 units we won't see much more I would guess. The best thing to do is catch your own and freeze them in baggies 6 to a bag and use them dead it doesn't matter to the trout at all!! Good Luck Hotdawg! Hot Dawg Guide Service

A friend at work said to use a very small hook and nightcrawler. Is there a better way? everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
Ham Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I see very little need for natural bait on the White River. So many artifical lures work very well. Of course, some days are better for one style over another. I've heard the fly fishing can be pretty good too. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

However I want a bigger one and I have heard that sculpins are the way to go. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
XP 590 Posted March 15, 2010 Posted March 15, 2010 Whats a sculpin look like? They are nasty ugly little prehistoric things......but big browns seem to love them.
gotmuddy Posted March 16, 2010 Posted March 16, 2010 They are nasty ugly little prehistoric things......but big browns seem to love them. I actually think they look really neat. I am going to try to keep one alive in my aquarium with my equally prehistoric alligator snapping turtle. everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.
