Today was the first time out in a bit, the high muddy water, winds, rains and I guess work has kept me grounded for several days at least. However, the lake looked outstanding. Water was much clearer than I expected (2-3' visibility with a white spinnerbait)- still a bit high, but that made it fun! The fish are scattered, but I was finding good numbers of small to average size fish shallow. Caught close to 20 in all, - all largemouth and only a handful (5 or 6) would have made the 15 inch mark, the biggest being close to 3 pounds. Not great if you were tournament fishing, but a very fun day. Caught a few flipping brush with b-hogs, one on a shakey head, one a c-rig a little deeper and the rest came on spinnerbaits. I actually have a bruise on the side of my chest from setting the hooks.
Overall, Ky lake is getting back to where it should be for this time of year (HOT!!). I didn't make to barkley - I hope it is clearing up too - I have a tournament there this weekend. I am just crossing my fingers we don't get the 3-5 inches of rain they are calling for the next day or so.
Forgot to mention - if anyone from work reads this - I guess my flu is so bad I am delerious and making things up. I guess my fever also made my face red - except around my eyes where shades would be.
