Go to Frankfort and fish the game farm lakes at thee Salato Wildlife center. While there--during business hours, Monday thru Friday--go to the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife office located on the property and pick up a copy of their Fishing Journal that has all the state run facilities for fishing. It will surprise you as to how many lakes, rivers and streams have access for bank fsiherman in this area. Cedar Creek is great-I got one 6lb bass on 5-28 and my friend got one 7lb bass--both were caught from the bank on crankbaits.
