Kentucky Lake

Last week I had the opportunity to fish Kentucky lake with a good friend of mine Dustin Evans.  We started out fishing somewhat out of the current in the mouth of the Big Sandy river targeting humps and ledges in and around 15 to 18 ft with only small fish to show for it.  Water was about 78 degrees and wind was calm but the current was ripping out on the main river.  The small fish plague followed us through many of our main lake spots and even into the creek channel humps and backs.  The grass has not come up where we fished though we did find some approx a foot tall in the mouth of bass bay but it was not holding fish for us.  About mid afternoon  we were so sick of trying to find 'the spot' we took a different approach and tried to weed out the rats on a spot and wait for the big ones to bite.  We dropped anchor mid current over a long skinny point with a large shell bed on it and went to work with big lips cranks and rigs even stroked an Omega jig in bluegill flavor 1oz.  After maybe 45 mins of rattage boom, Dustin hooked a nice bass and over the next 30 mins or so we took 18 lbs off the spot.  We did not venture as far south as the Elite series guys did and maybe we should have but we had fun where we were and learned something about that lake.   This lake is a total spot lake this time of year and patience is very very important.  Can't wait to get back there, what an awesome fishery.
