Ok guys last year I was down to Kentucky lake and did really good on redear, I know last
year was a lot warmer than normal. So on a normal year when do they turn on good I am
not wanting anybodys spot. just looking for when they typically start biting good thanks for the info

Thanks olducker I hope I can come down again this year when they are biting good. Last year we hit it prefect and caught limits for all three days of fishing. so I would like to do good again this year.

While these trips were taken on Barkley Lake ... the same info should work on KY Lake.

When I fish for them, locally ... I tip a black jighead with a piece of nightcrawler, and either fish it under a float or vertical jig it ... keeping the jig less than 1ft off the bottom.

Sometimes. I can tell ya this about the Redear. I you're casting to the bank and catch'n Bluegill, you're probably setting on the Redear. They'll be out a little farther than the Bluegill.
