We made one of our annual trips to Kentucky lake this past weekend and found it very slow fishing.
We typical long line and caught very few fish. Seems like everything weather wise went against us. Cold front pushed thru Thursday night with plenty of rain giving us dirty water , lake had been drawn down to 5 ft below summer pool( dropped 15 ft in 2 weeks), and the wind. We went down Thursday and fished Barkley for a couple hours and picked up a few fish, one just under 2 lbs. Went to blood Friday, water in back of creek was heavy stained, clearer toward mouth. Picked up a couple shorts and one keeper on a crankbait. Tried long lining jigs, minnows in brush and on banks, casted jigs and road runners to bank.
Nothing seemed to work.even pulled cranks near mouth.
Friday went to Jonnathan and windy was brutal.picked up a a couple keepers and shot on point drop offs but wind made it extremely hard. Got up Sunday to cooler temps and bad weather coming in that evening, so packed up and headed home. Save vacation days for better weather.
Goodluck y'all.
