Jim,
Just a FYI ~ There is a muskie tournament being held there this weekend. |

Location: New Baden IL | Jim,
I was there on Monday...Water temps were 67.5 in the AM, 68.5 by noon.
Water clarity was a good 4-5' with a slight green tint.
There were a ton of shad hanging around the 8-12' range in Lithia, Skull and Bouy coves. Those were the areas we concentrated on but unfortunately we didn't even have a follow. Monday was high bluebird skies and we tried everything with no luck. Shallow early, deeper cranks and Triple D's as the skies cleared. Bulldawgs and Jigs, trolling....but NADA.
Wish you better luck than us. Keep us posted.
