typical cracker spawn

**short grub** · 04-19-2014, 02:34 PM

I wanted to bring my girlfriends son 26 and his son 6 down for some of Kentucky lake monster shell crackers but I don't know much about the spawn or fishing for them, whom ever will pm me with info on the bite and timing of same can have all we catch, I'm looking to get this 6 year old hooked on fishing in a big way

we fish for gills up here but biggest is about 5 inches long, I'd love to get pics of this young man with a 3/4 to 1 lbs'er

you can pm me the info and your info will go to the grave with me, like I said this all about a six year old future fisherman

thanks guys

Depends on the weather of course but usually 1st or 2nd week of May is a good bet.

again thank you all

Check out the backs of major creeks where there is sand or gravel bottom, not expansive mud flats. Look for vegetation such as what we call yellow mustard that has gotten flooded as the lake level comes up. Cast with a slip bobber or tightline cast with a drop-shot with red worms or nightcrawler pieces.

You will find the typical redear fisherman to be MUCH tighter-lipped than crappie fishermen ever thought about being.
