The ledge bite here at Kentucky Lake is turning on; I am seeing more active fish and bigger fish on the ledges. I am fishing Main River (12 to 25ft) and secondary ledges (7 to 18ft). The baits that are working best for me are a ¾ ounce jig green pumpkin purple and watermelon with purple, I use a zoom fat ablert twin tail in matching colors when I’m fishing ledges. Some of the bigger fish are coming on a zoom ole monster worms Carolina rigging and casting with a ¾ ounce ProTungsten weight, I really like the tungsten because I can feel the bite and also I can better identify when I’m going thru a good mussel bed. On the ole monster worm I am using a Junebug, blue fleck and plum colors.



I am fishing the jig and worm on 15 lb Seaguar AbrazX and the Carolina rig on 17lb and a 14ln leader.



A crankbait is still catching some good fish also; I have been doing best on citrus or shad colors. I am casting it on a 7ft 6 Cashion Cranking rod with a Lews reel on 12lb test Seaguar. A medium stop and go retrieve is what im doing here. I look for the big swim baits to come into play also as the water warms up so if your tournament fishing you may want to fish that a lot after you get a good limit in the boat. I like a Elite Pro ¾ ounce head rigged with a big hollow body swimbait at least 6 inches in length. Just slow crank the swim bait back to the boat on 20lb fluorocarbon with a good stiff rod. Also I like to drag the swim bait along the bottom just like you would a Carolina rig. You can find Elite pro baits at The Cabin and on eliteprobaits.com
