Cave Run Lake is not far. Maybe below the spillway. Someone local can probably give you more info...

What baits are effective live or artificial for the bass and catfish

There are a lot of smallmouth streams in Kentucky, here is a link to help you locate one near you.

I wish you were closer to me, and I would take you to some spots to get you started.

My suggestion would be to Google "KY atlas maps" of the county you are staying in and the surrounding counties. Those maps have all the rivers, creeks, and drainages on them, as well as the county roads. Start looking for the creeks and rivers, and find where those places cross under a road and go check it out. Usually people don't mind you fishing at the bridges, but if there is a house close by, just go ask for permission. The worst they can say is no.
