Thread: Ky lake Redear ? anybody

All of the redear that I caught this year have been right up on the bank mixed in with the blluegills. This is the first year that I have seen this happen. If I did not get my cast just at the banks edge, I could not get a bite. The surface temp was 75 and I fished with nothing but worms and as G3 stated, drop shot. In previous years I caught the redears out from the bank in deeper water. I have not been able to do that this year, ears are always on the bank in shallow water and mixed with large gills. I guess it is because of all the rain and high water this year. Hope this helps.

We were there last week. We cuaght more Redear than any other year. All were cuaght in shallow water with the Gills.

I fish the lakes all of the time. I find them together alot. I tend to fish nothing but deeper beds most of the time. I pick alot of the bigger gills and crackers on deeper beds. I catch them mostly on bluegill bugs(jigs made here locally)
