i didnt quite make it to mouth of licking. We put in at warix and hit the channel out from there for a bit. Caught most fish on flats out from clay lick. We rode all the way to the dam and marked tons of fish and shad on right side of dam. We went back to mouth of beaver and buck ck. but were just cruising looking for fish. We may try and split through some of the channels on beaver or the licking just dont wanna snag all out bandits in trees. We were using 300's mostly with abt 50-100 ft out depending depth of the water and going around 1.5 mph most the time, may been going too slow and we avoided the standing timber like the plauge!! Lemme know how you do again and Ill do the same. I will add that I have caught some really nice musky past few weeks, a 38 and 41 both nice fish just casting big swimbaits so theyre always fun to tangle with.
