Once you got past the 1st straight stretch the water clarity went to 6-8 inches & the farther you went from the river the colder it was. Like he said river/creek mouth temps are 50-51 and I saw 44-46 up the creek. Didn't have one bite up in there either, deep or shallow in the same locations that I caught fish last week. Went back closer to the river & found the spots. Might go down river this week & see what I can find.

The stained water doesn't bug me one darn bit honestly. 6-8" perfect in my book but the cold water in those areas I think is just a huge change for them... In less than a week that rain dropped h20 about 10 degrees..... I don't have any doubt that fish are stacked in the cold dirty water I just think they were still trying to stabilize..... Just my two cents anyways. I'm going somewhere tomorrow not sure where yet.... It will be river..

My uncles gig one today. Pretty good one

Fished Big Bone today. We caught lots of crappie but most were short. No giants, some keepers but average size was smaller than I was expecting for this time of year. Water temps low 50s and fish were cold. Most caught were pretty deep.

Going to try EF on Friday if weather cooperates.

Is big bone a creek? Or lake? Where it at? Never heard of it

Big Bone is a creek in Markland Pool. There's a ramp at Boone's Landing in Union, KY where you can launch for $5. There's another creek called Gunpowder 2 miles up river which also has a $5 ramp, also in Union, KY.

Got out this morning. Only caught 3 on the jig and float. But I go 17 more in deep brush on jigs. Caught most of them around 15 ft. They all come off piles I haven't fished which was nice. Going back thursday

No I have only fished brush creek once which was two years ago (I think?) and didn't do to good. my PLAN was to try brush creek tomorrow but not sure after kycreek report..... We fished today in some different creeks that were EXACTLY the way kycreek explained..... First half mile of creek 52-53 another half mile you were at 45 and dirty. Fishing was DEAD in that cold muddy water.... Not a shad to be found but the mouths were LOADED with shad and is the only places we could get fish in both creeks we tried out today..... We tried SUPER hard to get fish shallow and zonked out... Fished 14-20 feet deep damn near on bottom and did pretty good..... Uncle got a white nearly 14" and we got several between 10-12" but geez 90% of what we caught were 5" long white! Hitting 2" tubes..... Three mile is awesome when it's on that's for sure. Been hit or miss for me this season but that's not to say I ain't holding my tongue right.

With all the shad at the mouths of the creeks, it might be worth bouncing a sauger jig or two down there

Had a good day on river.. Got into a good batch of blacks that were built like brick poopoo houses.... Jigs at various depths.....
