    KY Lake Smallmouth

    Had a good 4 hour trip in the north end of KY Lake. Caught about 10 smallmouth along with more largemouth. Had 2 - 18 inch smallmouth and one 20 inch smallmouth. They were fat. Not sure if they were full of forage or eggs. Not many fish on the bank. Most were in 8-12 feet.

    Sounds like they are feeding up, I would think the smallmouth spawned quite a while ago. Post some pics, I love seeing big KY SM!

    Smallmouth pictures (and some largemouth)

    These are some of the photos. I also caught some catfish up shallow by accident.

    Pattern for KY Lake smallmouth

    I use a 3.5 inch pumpkinseed (with some orange) tube with 1/4 ounce internal jighead with barbs crushed. I work it very slow casting into 6-12 feet of water. Deep water is very close.
    Good luck,
    Don
