Welcome, are you fishing this Sat night?

no just going taking out a girlfriend that is in town for summer break hope we can get on some good fish

Cool, go to Clarks run it's across from Bryant's Camp. Idle back and watch your graph . When you get to 11 ft stop. Since there is two of you, both tie on a solid black Mud Bug. You know metal bill crank. You can use a sharpie to make them black if you have the yellow or red ones. Anyway, start scraping the bank until you get way back in skinny water. If you don't have any fish then turn around and put on a Bomber Firetiger. Make sure the back hook has white duck feather on it. Work it on the rocks all the way back to the point. You should wack em. If not go up in the Dix and toss some #5 shad raps. Make sure they are weighted so you can crank them and they will suspend. Slow and steady is the key here. Good Luck .

Thanks bandit will give it a try, what about the rocky fork or up around royalty's in back of one of them coves, we had our hearts set on cedar but i have heard its a mad house there

You need to throw a junebug lizard on a shakey head around rocky forks. Pop r at the marina around royalt. LATE in the evening.

Hopefully I can help and make this a little easier on you. If you are going to be on the lower end of the lake (around the dam area) you don't need many baits to catch fish. If I were going this weekend then I would suggest two different baits. First, a firetiger colored bandit 300 series crank. Find any bluff wall and start throwing. Second, pick up some big worms. Zoom Ol' Monster in plum or plum crazy. Put the boat in 25-30 ft of water and work the worm all the way back to the boat. I have fished several tournaments down there this year and this is all I ever throw. Never had to try anything else.

Go all the way past Royalty and start fishing the cove to the left. There is a nice shelf all the way down the left side. Buzzbaits right up on the bank in the early am and then I like a white 10 inch floating worm wackey style.

Good Luck

thanks to all for the info but nothin seem to work, caught one about 9" on a green pumpkin shakey head. when we were takin out around 200 a small club was takin out to we watch their weigh in and it took 4 fish at 5 and half pounds to win so with that said maybe it wasn't a good day after all oh well next week at ky and barkley should make up 4 it
