Bluegrass 5/4

Fished for a few hours. Caught 14 with one over 18" one over 20" that went 5-1. The water is way up and very muddy. Both keepers were on top water pretty early in the day fishing over the flooded grass. The gar in the H made it almost impossible to fish. Every cast with a trap or crank bait caught one. They were tearing up the fry. Killed 19 of them. I need to take up bow fishing! The culvert running into loon is loaded with carp right now. I wish someone would put a dent into the carp and gar population.

u are doing God's work lol. i hate the gar and carp. I went wed afternoon, looked like the water dropped about 3 inches. caught some nice bass with one over 18 inches, all on a jig. Saturday im going to lake malone. since ky lake is closed, the bad part is a big cold front. and lake malone is very clear, but there is big bass there, i had one last year that went 6 lb 14oz.

I dunno where we are going now. I'm thinking about some of the smaller pits a little north. Maybe Glendale or bass. Or just go to newton and get some white bass and fat 4 to 5 pounders.

Justin, are the carp in bluegrass or loon. Might have to take a trip over there and shoot some. Thanks

Bluegrass. The carp are all 25+ pounds. Gar all 4+ plus. I rigged a steel leader on a old pole last night. I'm ready for them suckers now! I'm going to go slay some more tomorrow I think. Dunno how to get the carp though. Someone pm'd me about a carp power bait? Guess I could try that on some river poles.

Carp power bait? Sounds good...but I usually catch them on red worms...you want the bait right on the bottom though. no bottom contact = no carp...but i'm a noob at it, so good luck with my advice!

well went out this morning... caught prolly 20 bass and several good size rock bass. great morning till the wind picked up. caught all the fish on a watermelon green fat grub. made by strike king. only thing i could get them to bite on. fished it like a worm with no weight. biggest was about 3lbs.

Rock bass at bluegrass?

I'll guess he was catching Warmouth which some people call a Rock Bass. It's a member of the sunfish family and a very agressive one at that. Big mouths and will strike a crank bait at times.
