Late Fall Fishing Update

Steve McCadams

For December 4, 2019

Kentucky Lake anglers have been playing the weather, watching and waiting for decent days when light winds and mild temperatures descend. Lately, they've been rewarded with a few nice days that allowed some pretty good fishing conditions sandwiched in-between and rainy and windy one now and then. Lake levels at midweek were in the 355.9 range in the Kentucky Dam area as the reservoir has been rising slowly since some heavy rains ... Continue Reading...

Catching Crappie This Fall Requires Dropping Old Habits

Doug Wynn

For November 19, 2019

Hey Yall from the Excel Bay Pro 230 "Fishful Thinking". What a roller coaster of weather we have had the last couple of weeks. Seems we had about three days of fall before winter overtook summer.

I decided to start on a drop off inside a creek arm. We had a couple bites but did not catch one. Then we ... Continue Reading...

Kick'n Bass: Pulling Crankbaits Most Productive Right Now

Rich Bay

For October 31, 2019

From the Deck of the Kick'n Bass PontoonWhat a difference three weeks can make. 90's three weeks ago and 60's for the highs this week. Water temp has dropped nearly 20 degrees to about 65 degrees. I think this scenario is going to put the fish right into their fall hiding places. Brushpiles and stakebeds will be key to finding the crappies.
