crappie fishing Cen. Kentucky

[gettingonefishin]

Ky River used to have numbers and quality crappie. However my last 3 or 4 yrs there hasnt produced much. Ya need minnows though unless ya can catch em feeding on the shad up around the dam in eddys. then a 1/8 oz white maribou crappie jig on 4 lb test seems to work well. Most of my crappie fishin at High Bridge pool both above and below lock 7. Fished Beaver some last year and had a few good mess's of decent crappie had to do alot of culling to get a good mess though. Lots and lots of lil crappie. Bigger the minnow bigger the fish. Got a 7.2 lb LM doin that to.

Speaking of Beaver........after the place or sold or the lease changed hands or whatever...did the tournaments continue?How was the fishing overall last year?I used to fish the tournaments years ago and although my partner kinda retired , I've always loved hearing about the results,reports, etc .I may go back down there someday and get in another one,provided tournaments are still going on .

They are still having the tourneys. They should be better this year.
