Kentucky lake week of 4/23

Going down to the Pisgah Duncan Sugar Bay Area the week of the 23rd. Anyone else going down want to team up and share info. ?

Staying at Hester's Resort if close stop by for a Burger and a Beer.

Group of 5 are going down Thursday. Staying at Lighthouse. Never been there, and cannot find any reports right now. With the weather finally getting stable, it should be good.

will post how we did.

Probably no report needed for that time.. Take a lizard, buzzbait, chatterbait and go 3 feet or less and you will be fine.

I will be down April 30-May 3rd. It will be my first time to the lake in the spring. Love the ledge fishing and noticed the FLW last year at this time was won on ledges. Looking at reports the lake is still fairly cold and not to summer pool yet. Shallow or deep? Any thoughts.

I'll be down at my trailer from April 17th to roughly May 10th. I'll be chasing crappie/redear/bluegill. I just read a good report from Steve McAdams and it sounds like everything sort of fired up yesterday...should be great fishing for the next month solid.

Brother, I've been going down this same time frame for years and years. I'm not saying there won't be fish on ledges BC there will, but as long as this weather stays same and water levels maintain, you will need nothing except lizard, buzz, or chatterbait. Square bills or flukes also produce well. It's RARE that I've fished below 3-4 feet this time of year. VERY RARE! There will be fish all over the shallows. I've caught numerous fish up to 4-5 lbs by going so far back in the creeks I couldn't get my boat turned around and had to back out. Nothing like pulling a big one out of that skinny and shallow water. As said, I always go this time frame. I only get a few days this year, but will probably be down there when u are.

PM sent

fished Friday, Saturday and Sunday Morning.
Friday was slow for us, only a couple of good keepers early. It really changed Saturday. caught them on spinnerbaits on outer edge of flowers, and flipping brushhogs on docks with flowers close by. water temps went from 62 on Friday morning to 70 Saturday evening. It will be on fire this week and this weekend.

Water is now up in the mustard flowers. Should be able to catch them shallow or on secondary points. Smallmouth are maybe nearing tail end of spawn, lm's just picking up steam.

May even be able to dip the buck willows.
