Nolin Bass question

[RICHYD4U]

On Nolin, you can catch 100+ bass in a day right now, just chasing the "Jumps". I can't wait to get back! This is my FAVORITE time of year to fish Nolin.

What type of lure do you throw at the jumps, just wondering? Thanks.

No, but I bet it would work pretty well. My problem with the fluke is 2-fold. I tear up way too many flukes by (1) the bass eating them up and the nose of the bait gets wore out, and (2) I use braid line on a spinning rod to get longer casts, so the line will sometimes cut my bait. I'll go through 2-3 packs of flukes a trip!

Is there any secret to finding the "jumps"? As in, are they more likely to be in one area over the other, or do you just basically drive around until you see fish hitting surface baitfish?

They are almost always found in the mouths of coves or where the water changes rapidly from deep to shallow. But you can just drive around and usually find plenty of "jumps".

I went to Nolin this morning from about 6:30 til noon. Started at the dam and went to Dog Creek. Didn't have any luck. I had some white super flukes with me but no luck with those either.

Did anyone else try it today and have any luck?

Check my report Ritchie....I was on the lake at the same time as you and just KILLED them! I used a super fluke (can't remember the name of the color) that was gray with silver flecks along the top......they tore them up! Were you seeing jumps where you were? The key is to locate schools of feeding bass and wait for the jumps to happen and make your cast right in front of the feeding bass........WAMO!!! Better luck next time.
