Thread: Ky lake beatdown

The wife and I have been on Jonathan creek the last two days and it is winning. Caught 13 Saturday and tried everything. Caught 17 yesterday and again tried everything. Trolling 3 to 18 feet deep. Vertical fishing from 2 to 10 ft. One here and there but absolutely no pattern. Not used to fishing this low of water. Any insight would be appreciated.

Try longlining curly tail grubs in different colors, doubles if you can manage move to the channel ledges. I've found that the cold front and the rain has pushed them from the shallows back out to staging areas by the channels. I would try it can't hurt I went to the spots I was catching them last week and found they had moved back out. Just an idea

Cold front can make the fishing a little tougher but it still has to beat being at work banghead

Would have to agree it is better than work. Have decided to troll in 6 to 8 ft of water out from where I usually catch them spawning. Have 6 keepers and quite a few shorts.

Stopped with 15. Tough day

I'm on the boat pray'n for 6 inches of snow & subzero temps! I got 2 1/2 weeks before I can come home & I don't want it over when I get there! Rofl

AHHHHHH so you are the one to blame. LOL. Up here in Dixon IL on Sunday it was 77*, sunny and no wind. Monday morning it was 38*, heck of a north wind, and a 28* wind chill. Im blaming it all on you Whiskers.
Hey but we found over 200 morels on Sunday.

Just like every year I'll be across the lake from you at Hillman Ferry on the 10th of April.
I'm with you on that snow and freezing temps but the weather needs to stabilize starting on the 6 or 7th. The be slightly over cast with calm to light winds for the next 12 or 13 days

After last year, I actually just hope the lake levels are stabil.

Just sayin'

Come visit. I'll be at Big Bear on the 13th. Look for a big Outback fifth wheel, with a 2 level deck, on the north east side of the campground. I'll be there for a month.

Cold front has passed but the effects are still here for me. There are nice fish being caught just not many by me. Same old story. Everybody says should have been here last week. Best we ever saw. Yeah yeah yeah I know v
