    Re: Countdown to Ky Lake

    Fished Ky last week Mon - Thursday. Hammered the fish but like Elwood said been the oddes patterns in the four years that I have been there. Water temps would drop 5 degrees at night, fish would back off and we would catch them anywhere between 8 to fifteen feet.Shakey heads and creature baits dragged slowly and they just absolutly crushed them. People were beating the banks to death waiting for them to pull up but it never happened while i was there. Caught well over 150 and lots of 3lb + fish. Greatest lake in the world in my opinion . Can't wait to go back. Elwood sorry I missed you there would have been great to see you.

    I stayed at Poplar Creek Lodge and for the first trip EVER my boat never left Barkley. Put in at Poplar Creek and ran a grand total of 8 gallons of gas in 3 days. We will have to plan a trip down. I am going back down Sat, Sun and Mon in hopes of catching 1 or 2 more

    Re: Countdown to Ky Lake

    Report,

    We went we saw and...my partner conquered...He won the 2nd year in a row by a margin of 7 lbs.

    Fish were relating to rock. They stayed up and out in the magic 15' depth. They would be up next to bank for awhile then move out. Bank beater were sol.

    Jig bite was best. Heard limits came from shaky head, carolina rigged lizards and swimbaits and crankbaits. Wind set up opportunities by concentrating the fish.

    Saw several try ledges and never saw much action. Fish were in every stage. Tons were full of eggs.

    Water was about 2' low and this factor made the bite different than I had ever seen it.

    Had a great time and didn't get rained on for 3 days. That was a first!
