Had a good 4 hour trip in the north end of KY Lake. Caught about 10 smallmouth along with more largemouth. Had 2 - 18 inch smallmouth and one 20 inch smallmouth. They were fat. Not sure if they were full of forage or eggs. Not many fish on the bank. Most were in 8-12 feet.

Sounds like they are feeding up, I would think the smallmouth spawned quite a while ago. Post some pics, I love seeing big KY SM!
What were you using to catch 'em?
I saw a picture on BBC of a 7.3 that came from there last week. Sounds like theyre eating
These are some of the photos. I also caught some catfish up shallow by accident.

Nice..........
Man I'm heading down tomorrow. I'm staying canal campground and I'm dragging boat and brother dragging camper. Obviously, I'm on northern end... Were u fishing slow or fast to catch them smallies? I usually stick to Barkley, but I love them brownies..lol. Thx for any tips!
I use a 3.5 inch pumpkinseed (with some orange) tube with 1/4 ounce internal jighead with barbs crushed. I work it very slow casting into 6-12 feet of water. Deep water is very close.
Good luck,
Don
