Back from Kentucky Lake!!!

[Buckrub13]

I got back from Ky Lake this past Friday and all I can say wow!! This was by far my best fishing ever. The first two days were a little slow do to the 30 mph south winds but things turned around on Monday. I went on this trip with 18 other guys and some of them have been fishing there longer then I've been alive. Monday, when the wind shifted and came out of the east a lot of the guys were saying "East is Least". I guess referring to the bite. My partner and I quickly found out this was not true. We caught between 40 and 45 bass that day. We had 15 keepers with our 12 weighing in at 39 lbs. Our biggest 5 would have weighed 24 pounds. Tuesday was a little slower with the wind up again but we still managed 7 keeper with one going 7lbs 5oz. Wednsday (tournament day) we were greeted with a brief period of ice and freezing temps but we managed to catch a limit of 12 keepers in the 1st hour and half of the tourny. I caught our biggest, and personal best, one going 6lbs 9oz. The rest were just keepers. We had 28lbs in 10 fish and lost by 5 pounds. Had 2 fish come in short of the line. Still don't know how that happened.

What was most satisfiying is that the traditional bait or style of fishing for this group is crankin, crankin and crankin. We caught almost every fish on a 5/16oz jig with a baby brush hog trailer. Just wanted to share a little with how my week went. Sad thing is, its all down hill from here with taylorsville being 20 minutes away.

Good deal sounds like you had a great time. Were most of your fish suspended on points, or did you catch them shallow?

[Buckrub13]

All of our big fish were up shallow on the points with deeper water nearby. But to be honest we caught a lot of fish in the 4 pound range in 10 to 12 feet. My guess is that there are good fish in all the different transition phases of the spawn. Sounds good anyway

Now you know why my report last Thursday mentioned how good the LM fishing was last week...you picked a good week to be here for sure.

Jeez Ky Lake must be on fire right now. Read Dave's report, read your experiecnes and saw where a five fish limit weighing 29 pounds won the BFL Tourney. Man I need to get down there.

Was down there thurs-sat and fished BFL as a Co-angler. Took 29 to win on boater side, and 20 on co-angler side. Caught about 40 on Thurs and 25 Fri with a nice 18.5 inch smallie Fri. All these were on crankbaits, jerkbaits, and a spinnerbait. Winning bags on tourney was on a jerkbait fished real slow.
