ky lake bluegill and crappie

Wanted to give a report of this past weekend fishing on ky lake. My buddy and I went down by Paris Landing/ Big Sandy area for our annual fishing trip, and we caught a boatload! The fish were not in the normal spawning areas. All our fish were caught away from the main lake in about 5 or 6 feet of water. Lake is way down so the regular spawning areas didn't work.
We ended up with about 150 big bluegill, 7 Crappie that were about 15in and several 10-12in crappie. had trouble getting the catfish to leave us alone:)
Good luck!!

Thanks for the report. Sounds like y'all had a good time! I will be down this weekend hope to get into them also.

So I take it they were in the bays and creeks?

yes. they were in the creeks.

Can you still catch bluegills in the large creeks bays like the Big Bear-Malcom Creek area in the summertime on KY Lake?

Not sure about the creeks in the summer time. Never fished there after may.

Thanks, I have never been there before so I have no idea about the fishing conditions.

I was thinking of renting a cabin to take the family for a little vacation. However it will likely be during the summer if we do it and I don't want to take my children out on the main lake.

Hopefully if we are able to swing the vacation we wouldn't get skunked for an entire week.
