White Bass

[ThreeLions]

Inspired by the recent Kentucky Afield program, a couple of us are considering chasing some white bass. In the show they were catching pretty regularly (it seemed) on Taylorsville. Does anyone know if that would still be the case and, if not, anywhere else that would be worth a trip? We are in Lexington so nothing too far a distance.

Thanks.

If you don't mind the travel, Nolin is by far the best white bass lake within a reasonable drive from Lexington. My next choice would be Herrington followed distantly by Taylorsville.

And don't forget about the Ohio river, plenty and I mean plenty of healthy Whitebass in there...

Yep, and Hybrids right in with them. You can also bank fish below a number of the dams and be in good areas.

I would try the headwaters of Herrington Lake, in the Dix River. Great fishery for white bass. Ohio River is good too.

Yeah, he called me the other week balling his eyes out that he lost his wonderbread. Could bearly talk through the tears. He finally calmed down a bit once he remembered it was your plug and not his that he lost. Think he started crying again once I mentioned the $40 replacement cost

LMAO, Poor Chuck, he may never take me again. That day I didn't have my gear with me. Hybrids and Whites started jumping and I immediately snatched his only river magic bait, lol. Then to add insult to injury I let a Hybrid eat it and KEEP It, lol.

Ya know he and I are like brothers but he basically hasn't talked to me since....lol.....

I have a surprsie for him though for the next time we are together...Redemption is forth coming....

So has the water cooled enough behind McAlpine for them to be schooling up in there now?
