Ky Lake in August

[Silverado43]

Can anybody tell me how the fishing is in mid to late August on Ky Lake? I would like to do a little bass, crappie or bluegill fishing. I have a week off and thinking of going down there for a few days. I have never been there so any advice would be appreciated.

night or day?also do you care about size or just catching?

[Silverado43]

Most likely day. Not looking for monsters. Just didn't want to drive all the way down there and get skunked.

Eddy creek around the marina on the rip rap by the ramp I fish it at night and do good if all you are wanting is bites worms,cranks popr buzzbait

Where do you stay when you are down there? I hear the Moors is a nice place to stay. Is that close to Eddy Creek?

Bass fishing is normally good during August....of course it is normally pretty warm in August. I would recommend The Moor's as a place to stay jif you are planning on staying on the north end. Expect to find the bass on the ledges but there is normally some shallow water bite early and late in the day and also a good night bite if you want to fish at night. Crappie really is not a big target here in August. You can catch some bluegill around any of the deeper docks during the summer. White Bass is the primary target for panfish anglers in the summer.
