KY Lake Cats

Planning on taking some young fellers out for their first (as far as I know) camping and catfishing trip. I figure it ought to be getting close to time to be able to catch channels up on the rocks with just about anything.

Is anyone having any luck catching the bigger blues yet?

Our plan is to go down below one of the dams and catch some skips and then maybe set a trotline up in the lake and fish for bluegill/redear and cats. I want to try and catch a pretty good fish to make it memorable for them.
