ky. lake over memorial day wk.end

My friend and I fished the area around Fenton over the weekend and had considerable success. We found two patterns that worked well. We fished buzz baits in the back of the bays around buck brush and weeds and caught several good fish. These fish continued to bite as long as the sun wasn't a factor. The other pattern was fishing 6 inch lizzards carloina style on the drops in the mouth of the bays. The best color was pumpkin seed with the tail dipped in chartruse. The fish ran about 16-17 inches with on smallie going 4lbs +. Just before leaving I tried a frog in the same shallows and they were tearing it up, but only stuck one. I guess I need to relearn this method!!

Was that frog bite early morning?

What bays were u fishing? When u got your c- rig bite where were you? Thanks

What really surprised me was that bite came at about 11am after we had tried the buzz bait. The sun was bright and the water depth was only about 3ft deep. Sometimes those crazy ole bass aren't where there susposed to be!!

We were fishing the bays just north of the 68/80 bridge on the LBL side. Got all the way down to Sugar.
