Well it’s finally March and spring is here. The water Temp is already 48 degrees and the lake is at 355.35 and they are still pulling a lot of water at 163,000. The main lake has a lot of color in it and so does the creeks. I have been focusing on the creeks this spring due to all of the current and water color. I just feel the majority of the catchable bass are in the creeks. This is not normal for this time of year but with all the current we’ve had on Kentucky Lake this winter I feel the fish and bait have positioned themselves in the creek areas.



I have been fishing the creek channel bends with chunk rock/ gravel on them. The depth has been anywhere from 1 to 10 feet deep. But averaging 2-6 foot is where my bites have come from. I have been cranking shallow square bill crank baits in red crawfish patterns and Chartreuse Rootbeer that’s painted by Bag5baits.com. I have been cranking them on lews Glass Crankbait rod and 12 to 15 lb test Seaguar. The square bill puts out a lot of vibration and with the wide wobble the fish can see and find the bait better in the stained water. I have been cranking it just slow enough to make it wobble, seems like the slower the better. The majority of the bites have come within 6 feet of the bank so make sure you cast right next to the shoreline or you may miss the bite altogether. Also a jig has produced some fish for me in black/blue with a ZOOM Fat Albert twin tail another color is Green Pumpkin with Chartreuse/Purple also with a ZOOM Fat Albert twin tail.



A Rigs have been productive in some of the cleaner water along with swim baits. I have been using LBAbaits.com Swim baits my favorite is the whiskey color, in stained water I will dye the tail chartreuse. I am fishing it on a 3/8 or ½ ounce Elitepro.com swim bait head, on 17lb fluorocarbon and a 7’4” Lews Graphite rod.
