Kentucky Lake Fishing Report
I have been on several fishing trips over the last two weeks. Most have been largemouth trips but was able to get out for white bass one afternoon. I've mostly been fishing the south end of the lake and it has been amazing this whole year. Not only for numbers, but the size has been great too. Most every trip I've had at least a couple of five pound class fish.
Technique has not changed a lot but the fish have started moving around since the water level has started down. I've been throwing crankbaits and swimbaits at these fish for over two months and they will still take the faster moving stuff when there is a little current in the lake. If the current slows, I use a four inch gambler worm on a drop shot rig. The last couple trips have been a little different because the fish have started moving a little shallower. I think they're following big bait shnook up onto the flats adjacent to the drop where they have spent the summer.
Since the draw down started, there has been some great white bass action. Very little surface activity but still fish are biting. Rooster tails and slab spoons are favorites of mine. I have also heard two good reports of trolling crankbaits with flicker spinners in front.
I have not been crappie fishing in a while but my friend Roger Fields caught 29 on Friday and 25 on Monday of last week, all on minnows in 10 to 14 feet in Blood River. He said he only had one white crappie out of the whole bunch. |
