u are doing God's work lol. i hate the gar and carp. I went wed afternoon, looked like the water dropped about 3 inches. caught some nice bass with one over 18 inches, all on a jig. Saturday im going to lake malone. since ky lake is closed, the bad part is a big cold front. and lake malone is very clear, but there is big bass there, i had one last year that went 6 lb 14oz.
