Funfishers, I agree with previous post. If there are a pile of turtles around, you will need to fish with artificial bait, or per my experience, stay close to the bottom with your bait. If you can, I'd like to know what docks that you can fish from at KY lake. I think the State Parks have fishing docks, but don't know of any marina's that will let you fish from their docks. Let me know, I no longer have a boat, so fishing from the bank or Dock is the only option for me next spring
