Kentucky Lake - Fenton/Kenlake Area

Look for channel banks in the first 1/3 to 1/2 of each bay. Fish the deepest points. I like a tube this time of year. Throw Green Pumpkin or Pumpkinseed if clear and Black/Red it murky. Move around alot until you find the fish....

I think Vickers is supposed to be a good bay.

I think the mistake I've made is to get one of those Hotspot Maps. I have looked at it and almost have so much input I can't get through it. I agree that Dave Stewart is an excellent resource for the lakes - if not fishing in general. I keep meaning to take his class on how to eliminate water. I appreciate the information. Biggest issue I'm having is the boat. It has a 40 HP motor and I am trying to find areas where I don't have to make long runs on the water. That's why I am trying to stick to the general area. I've read that gravel covered points and steep banks are fair right now. Trying to find them on my depth finder (Lowrance Mark 5x Pro) might be a challenge.

You must watch the weather too. If you have cold nights the fish will pull back. If the overnite lows, ie 50 degrees and forecast sunny the next day,then try slow rolling spinnerbaits.

Ledbetter is a good creek too(also has a ramp). Might trailer down to Blood River. I mentioned Vickers earlier because it is close to Fenton, but prefer the western side for Largemouth.

With that small of boat, you better watch the wind. You might get to your spot, but might not get home.
