I've Hammered them.........TOTALLY HAMMERED them, but those days are long gone. Late 90's early 2000, the lake was killed off by RECORD heat wave. Cinergy used to generate electricity there only in peak hours, but during that heat wave, they generated 24 hrs a day Nearly ALL SUMMER. Water Temps jumped to about 100 - 110 degrees, and everything worth a CRAP in the lake died...........including all the vegatation.
I fished the lake HARD between 1987 and 1989, before I got married....went pretty much 1 or 2 times a month, and that was TOUGH........driving from Muncie, IN to Merom, staying 30 miles from the lake, because there were NO hotels around, and then driving 4-5 hours BACK the next day..........
I've caught lots of 7's and QUITE a few over 5 there.....but I have not been back there in 3-4 years.
I remember the last time I was there, I took thebassman30 there, and it was pretty much a barren MUDHOLE........what a waste......we caught a couple bass, and a few catfish on JIGS............hahahahahahahahahaha.
Oh well...........the good ole days are LONG GONE.
One other thing..........if you go, don't get caught in a 20mph wind, in a small boat.............**** you think KY is BAD..........With a 10 hp limit, and a small boat, a SERIOUS wind will KICK YOUR BUTT.
Later,
Geo
