Thanks for all the replies everyone.
The trip is over and we had a fun time although the fishing was a bit slower then we had hoped for. I think with the exception of one lake we visited the temperatures were just not there yet.
The first lake we hit was Owsly Fork. A few nibbles and my son caught one bass of a type which I am not familiar. It had some coloring like a largemouth, and a smallmout mouth, and red eyes (but didn't look like a Michigan rock bass) and a stripe down the upper part of its back.
From there we went to Natural Bridge and the next day hit Mill Pond Lake. This was a better day with two very nice bass, 2.5 and 4 lbs, and I got to catch one of them.
Next day we drove to the east end of Kentucky to Fish Pond Lake near Jenkins. In Jenkins we saw a circus but that was the highlight because the fish were just not active. The water was just not warm enough yet.
Finally we drove northward again and stayed overnite at Jenny Wiley and fished a little pond from the shore from near the boat launch. My son caught a few bluegill which were a fine complement to our all bacon man breakfast.
