Hello, I've been lurking here for a while but just reading and never commenting but I had a question for all the local KY people.

I'm at Ft Knox and my brother is coming into town and I was gonna take him for a day of fishing. I considered getting a guide but since he'll be here in a couple days, I figure it'd be hard to get one so I'm just gonna rent a bass boat here on post. In the past, I went with a few buddies and we just trolled around Nolin and Rough River with crankbaits and were able to just enjoy a day on the water. None of us were the greatest of fisherman and we rarely got to go there so it was just a safe way to get some fish and have fun.

Would that technique work now? Is there a special kind of fishing technique that would be more successful at this point? I'm essentially free to hit any of the lakes from Taylorsville down to Rough River and anything in that vicinity but we just want a good, enjoyable day on the water. Any ideas?
