I'm looking for info on Shelbyville and/or Kinkaid. Is it too early to hunt for musky? Can any of you guys direct me to where I can get info for these lakes - water conditions, fishing reports, tips, etc. I'm planing on going down next week and I'll probably need a guide, too.

Thanks!

Shelbyville is locked up (ice) except for the spillway which is still hot from what I hear.

As far as Kinkaid is concerned, contact Al Nutty or Chad Cain who both guide there (Chad visits this board and may reply also). Sorry, I don't have contact info handy...

Hey there, I would give Chad Cain a call. He is the best on Kinkaid and one of the best throughout the muskie world. 618-549-3074, I think that is his number. Have over 250 muskie is the boat last year I believe...Ben
