worst day on Nolin since I have been fishing there

[Ranger492]

I feel your pain as well....Fished Saturday and Sunday mornings from daylight until 10AM both days.

Saturday: caught 1 13" LM on a shaky head in 15 feet and fished several of my best deep spots without another bite. Tried some bluffs and steeper banks with several presentations and no luck. Finally stopped on way in on a chunk rock bank with and 8-foot square-bill figuring I might at least catch some small bank runners so that my guest could say he at least caught A FISH. Caught 2 11" KY's on the square-bill and had two other KY's spit the bit on way to boat.


Sunday: tried some of the same deeper stuff and a few different ones without a single bite for nearly 3 hours. Finally caught two KY's (one pretty nice on as far as Nolin KY's go, around 14.5 inches) on a texas rigged sweet beaver in about 10 feet.

Two days, 7 hours, 7 bites, 5 fish, ZERO keepers - but it sure beat workin!

I fished sat and blanked also. Didnt even get a bite. Ive fished the lake for 20 years and for some reason this summer has been the worst I have ever done there. Late winter and early spring this year I did pretty well but the last month has been tough to say the least.

I have noticed more than in years past areas that have fish busting everywhere and they were all spots or LM. This time of year they usually get out and chase the schools of bait like the whites but this year I have run into large areas of just LM and spots.

Yea Ive caught a lot of spots in the jumps esp back in dog creek this year. No size at all but like you said I have seem more than in the past.
