Hello guys and gals. Thanks to all that have been with us the last 2 weeks and put up with the high heat and the light winds. We have been going out early and beating most of the heat for the morning trips and making it fine. We have had some of the greatest sunrises I have seen so far this year with the sun just coming up over the LB L around 5:30 each day.

The water temp is around 88 degrees and even a little more in the back of some bays. The water is very clear and on a slight fall for the season. We have still been white bass fishing for the last several weeks and it has been hit and miss. We are still catching a few on each trip with some limit days mixed in. What we have to do is move from spot to spot and dig out what you can. The last 2 weeks we have been catching some in the jumps, they have come up 1 to 2 times for us each day. The bad thing is they stay up only for 1 minute at the most then go down. You must be ready and in the right spot to get them. It is a fun way to catch them and they have been good size fish. It is a guessing game where they will jump. One day they are on the flats and the next on the river ledge. You just have to stay around where you have seen them and hope the come up again. We are still casting inline spinners and using jigging spoons on river ledges and just off the breaks in some on the creeks. On most trips we are catching lots of yellow bass but they are not all the keeper size you like. We are also catching some nice catfish mixed in with the white bass.

One other thing I have been doing if the whites are slow is bluegill fishing and it is not too bad. It is not real fast but you can catch some and weed out the little ones and have a nice mess. We have been taking a few redear as well mixed in with the gills. I have been fishing 4 to 5 feet around the front of the beds some days with a bobber and some days just dragging worms and jigs on the bottom.

Catfish are hitting fair to good fish on the river ledge and in some of the deeper holes just off the main river channel. Try shad and worms right on the bottom.

Bass fishing is good for those who look for them off the ledges. There have been some good weights brought in at the last 3 tournaments on Kentucky and Barkley lakes. Try jigs, spinners, and deep diving crank baits off of sharp breaks and turns in the main river as well as the small boat channel.

The summer is winding down and so should you so come on down to Moors Resort and spend some unwinding time on our great lakes!!

Come on down and spend a few days at The Moors Resort and forget work for a while and see the great lakes we have to offer.
