Steve McCadams

For May 15, 2025

Kentucky Lake’s fishing scene has been good and it’s heating up even more with the arrival of some hot weather now entering the picture.

Lake levels have been a few inches above the normal summer pool elevation of 359 this ... Continue Reading...

An Unexpected Catch on Kentucky Lake

Hello from the Excel 230 Elite. Kentucky Lake fishing is like a box of Forrest Gump's chocolates, you never know what you gonna get.

Getting back to bass fishing, there is some ... Continue Reading...

Some of the best fishing of the year is during the pre-spawn and spawn ... Continue Reading...

Crappie Bite Great Despite Water Color

John Morgan

For March 14, 2025

Starting spring off with warm temperatures and fairly stable water levels has got several fisherman out on the water. Most have been greeted with a better than expected bite for our conditions. Several rounds of heavy rain have a big portion of the lakes heavily stained. This is usually not good for the crappie bite. This spring seems to be an exception. For the last two weeks the crappie bite has been great on fire. I've never seen crappie ... Continue Reading...
