| Brandon Hunter's Fishing Report
" Everything is greening up, the dogwoods are blooming and the fishing will be heating up before long. Spring time is probably my favorite time to fish for those big pre-spawn females feeding up getting ready for the spawn. It’s that time of year when everything is lining up for those big fish to move in with spawning on their minds. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL KENTUCKY LAKE FISHING REPORT |

| Shell Diver's Guide Service Report "Breaking News the Bass are Spawning! Monday April 8 the morning water temperature was about 61 degrees and the bass were in their spawning locations on Kentucky and Barkley Lakes. I love this time of year and season. Many anglers have a hard time during the spawn and probably don’t understand the spawn or the spooky behavior of bass at this time. For most pitching a jig or creature bait catches most of the fish for most of the fisherman. I love to pitch baits and I also have had tremendous luck with a weightless trick worm a style of fishing I developed in 1991. ". CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL KENTUCKY LAKE FISHING REPORT |

| Kick'n Bass Guide Service Report "Crappies have been scattered lately to say the least. We are picking up some beautiful crappies, both black and white, and they are chubby from feeding on shad all winter. Eggs are not all that developed so my guess is the spawn is still a few weeks off. We have been spider rigging and long lining for crappies and have had success with both. Best baits so far are the Crappie Hut Jigs Patriot colored 1/16th ounce jig. Yellow/black has been good also" CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL KENTUCKY LAKE FISHING REPORT |

" we have been involved in our yearly chore of sinking brush piles to take our customers looking for a Crappie. The work is hard,but we have a good time doing it together, and then when we are able to catch some fish as a result of the work we reap the benefits. s..

| Capt. Kirk's Fishing Report " I didn't fish this past weekend but lots of people did. I drove by four ramps and all were full of empty trailors. Talked with about eight boaters who had fished and every boat had the same story...NO FISH! Not surprising with such dramatic change in weather. Although I'm sure a few others caught fish. A month ago I was catching them pretty good. I plan on catching 'em again soon! ." |

| Scott Patton Fishing Report Finally, it’s trying to turn Fall, it’s something I have been waiting for and I’m sure a lot of you guys have been also. I’m starting to catch a few more good fish on topwater, my favorite of course is the Lucky Craft Gun Fish and Sammy! But I always have a buzzbait and other style top water nearby. You have to let the fish tell you what they want. Normally shad patterns are what the bass are looking for here on Kentucky lake. |
