ky lake in april!

I think everyone on this discussion board understands all of your exclamation points. Ice is broken and just about melted. We've survived the long hard winter and are preparing to do more than dream about what's under the water. It's time for jigs, worms, spinners etc. The only advice I have is that bass and crappie are very similar. Find areas with cover, shallows, proximity to deeper water, and you'll find fish. Get a good topo map as a start. To me, and it could just be because I've had the Dave Stewart largemouth bass 101 course, bass seem more predictable. Luckily, it sounds like you know what you're doing with crappie, so, look for shallows with cover and deep water access. If you find bait pods on your depth finder, CAST!

Hey crappie chaser your the guy i have been looking for for info ! I will be headed down the 23,24,25 april for crappie/bass but mainly crappie. I know its going to depend on the weather as far as what stage the crappie are at...staging to spawn or already in spawn mode. I will be looking forward to your report when you get back ! I havent been to ky lake since 2001 and that was for a bass tourney. Have never fished ky for crappie but looking forward to it. But if the crappie are not hitting i wont hesitate to go after some of those nice healthy bass at ky. I hope you catch a boatload ! Later jc
