Dale tue/11/23

went out after the rain stopped about 11AM, one place put 8-10 fish in the boat. Bottom fishing; fish all came out of 30 plus ft. water temp 59.7, air temp. droped maybe 10 degrees seem like in less than an hour went from short sleeve to pullover an needed more.

no solid fish today, but i was busy, the front didnt do anything for me except make the bite better, just was on the wrong class of fish when they began

Nice fish, I am gonna have to come down there and you gonna have to show me how to do that, those are fun size. Again thanks for the posts.

Nice fish as always Rick. Was the lake turning over in the areas you were fishing?

believe it or not I have watch several different sections mostly certain coves etc turn over several weeks back, this was due to some horrendous winds we have had on the section I'm in, nothing on the main lake has faintly looked like turn over to me.

As you know the entire lake doesn't turnover all at once.

water actually warmed a degree this week but will begin to fall by weeks end.
You get here you'll catch & find fish.

Dont forget you cant figure the water temp in louisville by measuring it out of the tap

Thinking about riding down this weekend rick.....won't be able to get any live bait so do you have any advice?....will be putting in somewhere around burkesville....will only be 2nd time seeing the lake so i have no clue where to start

I try to follow the advice of the guides here where i dock, using electronic's an maps try to find the contour brakes, i would sugest looking at intersections of drains to creeks these areas Ill fan with livebait.
combine the above some deep water close by. With the best lively bait you can find

I won't have any live bait so I'll probably be jig fishing....still follow the same advice?
