Hey Fred,

I haven't made plans for the weekend yet. I would like to hit Malone again - It's been the only lake that has produced for me so far. I want to find a lake where I can hide from all of the 4th of July pleasure boaters though.

Make sure you walk over to my place Saturday night if you are around, we are having a neighborhood cookout and then the parking lot is supposed to be a good place to watch Bowling Green's Thunderfest.

If you want to make plans for a trip soon walk on over or you can email me at [email protected]

Fred...are you talking about Lake Malone in Muhlenburg Co.? If so, I live in Logan Co. and I have never caught any fish worth mentioning out of Malone. What is your secret?

Last year I had terible luck on Malone. This year I have caught some nice ones, one that went almost 7lbs on a bubble gum fluke. I just find small coves and fish all the way around them with soft plastics - flukes are my go to and then a baby brush hog on a spot remover jig head.

I've also been there when some bass tournaments have weighed in and I have seen some nice bags of fish!

I stopped in the tackle shop there in Quality a few weeks ago and was told it was an excellent night lake.

I'm calling it quits on Barren for now - I want to try Rough and Nolin - never been to either one.
