Earlier this spring we had two largemouth in the 7lbs range up in the falling water river. We always find our largejaws in the river.
As far as Mine Lick and Hurricane, those are very good places to find big fish. I think a lot of times the spots are so aggressive that it seems no other fish are around. Center Hill does have a large population of spots.
Fall: I has been an up and down fall for us. We had a few good smallmouth on the lower end and had caught some spots while rolling a 1oz spinnerbait on the main channel. We have not found any schooled fish yet. The water levels are about right but the water temp seems to be a little warm. If you are looking for some larger fish in the fall. Try the pea-gravel banks and points. Those smallmouth will hang on those banks and if the wind is blowing, we have found them in less than 2 feet of water.
Going back on Saturday or Sunday. I'll post the results. Just waiting for the water temps to drop in the 50's. The bigger fish should turn on.
