I like live bait myself because I am basically a lazy fisherman. Don't like to have to work too hard at it. Up in my neck of the woods they are called crappie minnows or fat heads. What do they call them down kentucky way?
:D :D :DQuote:

You may see them listed, in bait shops, as "Minnows" - "Tuffy Minnows" - "Tuffies" - "Crappie Minnows" - "Pond Minnows"
You may also find "Shiners" or "Creek Chubs" ... but, they're a different species of minnow.
We also like to use small Gizzard or Threadfin Shad, and Brook Silversides ... but, those you have to "net", yourself.
........ cp :cool:
when u guys talk about johnathan creek r u talking up in the creek or that area out in the lake. is there a boat ramp nearby?
crappies4ever, Ky Lake is like nothing you've fished in Ohio. I've been going there off and on (more on lately) for the last 15 years. I have caught fish on every part of the lake I've ever tried. My advice is go to the area or cove of your choice and fish that cove like you would any lake in Ohio, you will catch fish.
I like fishing the LBL (east) side of Ky lake but the western side is good too. When you get there buy a lake map of the section of the lake you'll be fishing they're available at most bait shop and are very helpful. Try different debths and different tactics and you will catch fish.
These lakes can be challenging, but the fish are there. If the water is muddy on the west bank, drive over to the LBL side and fish. It will be clearer.
We usually take some time and fish for bass and bluegill, so if the crappie don't want to play there's more options.
The only bad part is once you've been there, you'll want to go back.
Aren't they kinda hard to clean:rolleyes:Quote:

The wife says we can go the first week of April.
I see a lot of info on Big Sandy and not much on the northern end of the lake?
I drove over the dam area a few years ago and liked what I saw.
This would be our first time fishing Ky. lake.
all info will be appreciated. Thanks
