Nolin River whitebass run?

[kentuckykingfisher]

Have the whites been running at nolin yet? Havent havent been able to get down and fish it yet. I know the whites have been running in the salt river in the taylorsville headwaters and heard people catching fish in the dix river. Havent heard a word about nolin. Anybody have any info? Id like to get down there this weekend. Im just curious if they have already took off up around broad ford or if they are further up river

Yes I was there mid last week. All males. River was low so I couldn't get above bacon creek but we fished back down to 3 fingers. Should be better now.

Mouth of Bacon Creek was producing whites and lots of nice Crappie yesterday after it stopped snowing about to post some pics . 12 crappie anywhere from 10 inches to 15

Some real nice crappie you got there. Hope the fish are active this weekend.

Drove past Broad Ford bridge on Sunday and there were about 5 trucks parked there. Didnt have time to stop but river looked up maybe just a little. Keep this post updated. Would like to try and get down there soon myself.

Easter report....

Started fishing at bacon creek for whitebass. Cast for a hour or so slowly drifting back down river. Caught a couple large mouth but no whites.

Ran down to sportsmans paradise and caught 1 small male with a few more largemouth. Fished a bend below sportsmans and caught a few whites. Wound up with 5 total for the day.

Crappie fisherman were everywhere from the five fingers area up to and above bacon creek. Watched some guys catch some nice fish will drifting by.

Might be a little more time before the fish get up further in the river. Out of curiosity i stopped by broadford and the water is so low and clear i could see my lure from the other side of the river.
We need some rain but not a flood

If I had to guess I think the run is about over. I fished for walleye pass couple days. Mostly small whites. Ran back down to Dog creek to crappie fish yesterday afternoon and big schools of whites were shallow with the crappie. Btw I fished from bacon creek and down. Walleye's are on way back to lake. Had 8 total eyes.

Fished Broadford for several hours caught no whites and one largemouth then headed downriver to bacon creek and managed 5 whites in about 1.5 hr all males. This leads me to believe the run is just starting and should be better in a few weeks. Out of several people I spoke with only one person caught one white bass, crappie were slow on minnows.

Planning on driving up from Bowling Green on Friday and try our luck with the whites. Just curious, can you put in at Bacon Creek ramp or is the river to low? I've never been to that particular ramp, so just wanting to plan accordingly. Thanks.

Could get a lot of rain later this week so watch that. But what kind of boat do you have? River is pretty low at bacon creek.
