Fished Lynnville Lake Friday, Saturday and Monday from 3pm to Dark and Sunday morning from 5am to 11am. Never caught so many 10" Bass in my life. Except for 3 that were between 15 and 16" each and 1 nice 2 1/2 pounder, was wondering if there were any Bass larger than 10" in the lake. Tried several different ways to catch the BIGUN with no luck. C-Rig, T Rig, Jig and Deep Cranks the few ledges that I could find but never hooked a fish. Saw several different people pounding the banks with cranks and spinnerbaits but did not see many that were caught. I have a lake close to my previous house that is similar in all the overhangin trees so I tried a pattern that always worked there and it did in Lynnville as well. Tied on a White Super Fluke weightless on a spinning rod and skipped the bait back under the trees and around the brush. Any time there was water between the bank and the brush and I got the Fluke between the two, I got hit. Was such a pattern that I started calling my shots by looking ahead of me down the bank. Ended up with trolling motor on 5 moving from one pattern spot to another. I am just guessing but probably caught 60-70 Bass in the 10" range plus another 20 Shellcrackers that hit the same Fluke. Went thru 5 bags of Flukes in all. Tried all kinds of patterns in various places to catch a better quality fish but had no luck. These were my first trips to the lake and it looks like it will take many more to figure out where the quality is, if there is any in this lake. Hard to go from fishing Ky Lake regularly and catching quality 2-4 pounders on ledges with C Rig and good quality smallies at night to the 10" Bass Capital of the World. My guess is Spring and Fall will make this lake a pitching and flippin paradise for all.
Just a side note: I guess the No Wake Rule for this lake is for visitors only. If you live on the lake you must have full rights to run your Ranger or Pontoon as fast as you can and make as many wakes as you please. At least this is what I observed. Watched this guy with his older Ranger run up and down the lake fast enough to make the 2 girls in the boat with him laugh and scream. The same guy the next night yelled at another passing fisherman as he was going to fast past his dock and was causing a wake. Double Standard as far as I am concerned.
