Top water frog types (experiment cadence and speed on retrieval) in thick pads, swim baits (experiment with sizes) in the speradic pads, and jigs in the matted grass consistently produce the biggest fish on Sheldon. Sometimes you may only catch 1, 2, or 3 in a day though. But a weightless sinko will always produce the most fish (not necesacerly the biggest) year round on Sheldon. In the past 3 months I have (1) 9+lbs, (3) 8+lbs, (1)7+lbs, and a few 6s. Only one of those fish came on a sinko.

FINALLY got back out to Sheldon yesterday thanks to all this rain. My brother and I fished from about 4:30 til dark, and caught a total of 8 bass. Nothing huge - biggest was 3.10 lbs - but they were definitley there and very aggressive! Got em on weightless wacky worms, texas rigged crawfish and brush hogs in the cypress trees and lily pads. Really appreciate the tips!

Good job. You know the lake record was broken there last week, story should show up soon, it was weighed on a certified scale.

Can you put a bass boat in on that lake? Yes you can (idle only), but it's all shallow with some stumps, etc. to watch out for.

This has become my home lake since it's so close, and my little pond boat can't handle big water. Really cool to have such a productive lake so close to home!

Tough day yesterday... Fished for 12hrs and only 3 fish. If all three would have been "pigs" then I would have been happy.....but they weren't. I am always first to say "the wind is your friend", but not yesterday! The wind was crazy and it lasted all freaking day.

Good job. You know the lake record was broken there last week, story should show up soon, it was weighed on a certified scale. That lake record is just the official one. I've got 2 over that out of there and know of 3 more over 13 from sheldon. 1 of the 13s I landed for a good buddy February 2006. Punching hycanthis. Biggest i know of is a 16 a viatnamese guy caught on a minnow then took home to eat. My buddy watched it all happen and offered the guy $200 to release it.
I can backlash toilet paper.
