Nice but now someone will claim it. I will be on KY Lake at least four times this year. I stick around the Blood River area and do great each year. Obviously, the weather has everything to do with your success. Biggest thing you need to remember is that it is big water with some big weather and waves. If I make a run from one end to the other end of the lake, I pull out and drive the truck. I know others that run it wide open, but I got caught on the lake in one of those bad storms and it was like nothing I have been in before.
