Fishing has improved a lot this past week. Largemouth are moving toward the shallow water and several good catches have been taken. The shallow creek channels in the bays have been producing best. Spinnerbaits and Carolina rigged plastic are the better baits. Crappie have been showing up in good size. Most are taken by vertical jigged tube jigs and minnows over the deeper wood along the creek channels at the mouths of the bays. Whitebass have been jumping around the mouth of the major bay, especially Kentucky Lake. Catfish are still good on minnows and nightcrawlers. The catfish are along the river channel in about 40' feet of water. Good bluegill are being caught along the deep banks with wood. The fishing is not good below the damns. The heavy rains have the river rising and also strong current.
TIP: Remember cold front seem more severe in the fall.
BITS AND PIECES: You can't forget what you don't already know.
