Well I must say this has been the coldest trip we have ever had at ky lake. We are at the north end. Big Bear resort. Accommodations are great. Weather not so great. Fishing poor. The worst we have experienced in the 8 years we been coming down. Sat 19th we got 6 crappie, some nice gills,and a few yellow bass. Sunday we got 10 NICE crappie,12"-14" more gills and a few more yellow bass. Monday things slowed down and only 3 crappie and half doz or so gills. Tuesday fought and worked all day to get 2 crappie, COLD. Wed. didn't even go out. Cold. Thursday morning COLD and windy, i think they said 20 mph gust. It was rough but we went out and fought wind all day for 2 more crappie. Friday morning just heading out. And oh yes it's cold 27*.
Sat & Sunday's fish came from 6-8 ft of water on minnows. Since then everything has been in 14-24 ft of water on ledges on minnows. Seems as we are about a week early this year. Water should be cooled down to the right temp next week. Thursday the water temp had dropped to 58-60 degrees.
