Summer Patterns Underway for Anglers

Steve McCadams

For June 6, 2025

Although summer doesn’t officially arrive on the calendar until June 20 this year, the fish on Kentucky Lake always seem to enter their summer patterns a bit earlier. In fact, they’ve been acting like summer got here about two weeks ago. The last week to ten days several species are already showing a transition toward their summer hangouts as surface temperatures warm and the season changes. Lake levels this week are still hanging ... Continue Reading...

Targeting Crappie, Chasing Walleye, and Honoring a Legend

Doug Wynn

For June 2, 2025

Hello from the Excel BP230. After several days off over the holiday, it’s time to get back to work. That doesn’t mean I’m done having fun and learning new tricks. I’ll be on Chickamauga Lake and Dale Hollow this week, fishing with two different guides to learn some tactics I hope to use locally.  The sauger bite has been very disappointing so far. Our crankbaits have been mostly ignored by keeper sauger, unlike last year when we ... Continue Reading...

For May 10, 2025

On Saturday May 3rd, a second wave of largemouth bass moved up to spawn and they were hitting the weightless trick worm extremely well. Today there are crappie, bluegill, red ear, largemouth, and maybe some smallmouth still spawning. Channel catfish are prowling the shallow water and they will be next to spawn. Getting back to bass fishing, there is some ... 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...
