Did not take a camera for just moved and really don't know where it is anyways. Even if I did, I rarely take pictures since I fish by myself and they don't come out too well laying on my boat floor. Ky side, I suggest Illwill and North Sulphur. You should find some fish but I don't fish that area too often. The way these fish looked, the summer and drought had really taken an effect on them physically. I never got that outstanding fight like I get in the winter. In a few more weeks, especially if it stays as dry as it has been, less oxygen and they will be stressed even more. My guess is the jig bite fished EXTREMELY SLOW anywhere from 25-30 feet on points and dropoffs will be the ticket by then. Good Luck. I find that anyone spending the money in making a trip should spend a little more and get the TN liscense for the majority of my Better spots are in TN water. There are some good spots to fish on the KY side but so many more in TN water. $41 bucks was the cost for my non-resident liscense for the whole year, heck I spent more than that in gas the first night alone in shotgunning my spots. Add in the motel, gas down and back, food, boat gas and you easily get a couple of C Notes spent (If you are staying on the water - many more C Notes), what is $41 more for a better chance at a Trophy.
