Just wondering if the Shellcracker bit in October like the do in march. The water temp should be about the same. Would love to catch me some more of those two pound beasts.
I caught some last Thursday. I kept 15 big ones and threw back about 50 small ones. I tripped over them scouting some islands in upper lake to deer hunt on. I smelled them and came back a few days later. They were definitely spawning. They were in 5 ft of water in sparse vegetation. I have heard people catching them in the winter on deep brush piles.
