Kentucky Lake or Green River?

[RICHYD4U]

Guys, I need your input...

My father-in-law, Uncle, and I are going fishing Tues-Wed next week. My question for you all...if you were going that week and wanted the best chance to catch some nice bass, would you go to...

a) Kentucky Lake
b) Green River Lake

I will definetly report back on how we do at either place, just curious as to what you all think would be the best choice. We were originally planning on Kentucky Lake, but after reading the reports on Green River of huge bags being taken, I'm not sure now. Thanks!

KY-Lake....Green is a hit or miss lake. Its only 8,000 acres and with this rain coming Sat. it could muddy up quick.

Ky Lake, without a doubt. You can catch bass until you get tired, and relax and fill the well's up with crappie. I don't see the bass slowing up too much, maybe a little depending on which day - but overall it has been, and will be great here for a while. The crappie bite has been just as hot too. I've seen pics of your crappie trips, so you know what to do better than me, if you want to get into those.

Hi fellas....I'm coming down to Kentucky Lake at the end of May and am fishing out of Paris Landing. Any advice/insights that you have would be appreciated.

That was ONE day on Green. KY Lake can potentially produce like that everyday. Like someone said earlier, Green is a hit and miss. KY Lake possesses more consistency throughout.

Im going to get beat up for this but a few years back the KFWD gave stats on lakes in KY and I think per hour catch and size of fish Green was actually the top lake. I think the resergance of Barkley and Kentucky lakes surely have equaled this or taken over by now though. Timing is everything and if Greens on you cant go wrong there either.

I researched and actually found the new information and the average 5 fish limit for Kentucky lake was near 15 lbs and Greens was near 13 lbs

Green River - HANDS DOWN, there are no fish in Ky or Barkley.

It is hard to even think of passing up Kentucky Lake, and from the sound of it, looks like you all think it is the right choice as well. We definetly have had some excellent crappie trips there in the past. I figure that is where we will go. Just sounded like some guys were going crazy about Green River here lately.
