Just got a New Boat

PS- after looking at the structure info you passed along, I realized we did well right by the reef area up by the dam on the left. Cool!

Good deal !! I think I have all the fish attractor spots in my depth finder, but I haven't been to Cave Run in a few years. Last time I was there it was in Oct and there were quite a few boats out in the middle of the lake (across from Alfrey ramp area) and I didn't really know why they'd be out there. Well, at least until I got home and looked at that link & realized they were fishing the habitat drops on that flat in front of the Zilpo Rec. Area.

Most of my Crappie fishing friends that fish Cave Run have been Spider Rigging at night, out in open/deep water. When I used to Bass fish it, I mostly fished the bank from the marina ramp to the dam. Caught some decent Smallies on cranks & the usual run of the mill LMB on worms ... but, that was decades ago. I don't fish for Bass but maybe once/twice a year, and that's usually in June at Herrington. As per my screen name ... I'm more into Crappie fishing, and most of that is done on Green & Taylorsville.

Enjoy your new boat. I remember the day I bought by first boat. Come to think if it, I also remember vividly the day I bought my second, third, fourth, and fifth boat.

Somehow things to do with boats are memorable.

The licking river portion of the lake can produce some great fishing. I spend 90% of my time in the river if I'm fishing caverun. But I would recommend not to run the river if you do not know where the boat lanes are at. It is very dangerous and narrow at spots.
