Since it's been too hot to fish for the gills in the day, we decided to hit the whites again. Me and Fishtale caught our limits (15 each) of whites, hybrids, and a striper Saturday night. We were fishing jigs under lights. We waited until about 9:00pm to go out cause it was so danged hot. We ended up with our catch by midnight. It was a good night. Here is the only pic I have:

Nice gutpile!!!
A 5 gallon bucket of fish remains is a big bunch of fish, WTG!!
I think whites and hybrids taste great, lots of folks dont eat em'. Looks like that was a haul of fish, good job fellas.
Once again we had a little luck on our side. I really enjoyed going and catching some nice fish. I'll bet that bucket with just heads and gut's was about 15 to 20 #s. Thank's again Mepp for letting me ride along.Quote:

I'm computer illiterate so I rarely do pics.
Awesome, did you take your dad out?Quote:

Mike, you were right---GREEN is the color.
I'll probably take my Dad and a tag-a-long friend tonight if the storms allow.
Good Job on the whites/stripes. We only caught a few whites in the Blood last week. A CO told us they were more down toward the Dam. I am assuming the population is down from previous years? We did get hammered by some small yellows that were almost as small as our baits.

I guess I need to get up there and give them a whirl. I haven't been a single time this year.
Hoosier, you need to head to the LBL side down around Blood to get into the whites very much. There was a jump there last weekend that stretched across an entire bay.
Quackrstackr, I let a major opportunity slip by not going over to the LBL side last week. Big water was pretty rough mid day . I am also kicking myself for not heading over there to look for some bluegill beds. Just too many opportunities and not enought time to do them all.
Also, I didn't know people caught them under lights on Jigs. That is new to me. Are we tipping those with minnows...and what size lead you throwing at them? I only saw a few of the yellows jumping on top where we were fishing.

Catching them under lights is done around structure like the bridges.
It's a vertical presentation with 5 to 6 untipped jigs spaced about 18" apart sort of like a sabiki rig.
Does KY have a limit on number of hooks per line? In Indiana it is 2 per line...and 3 poles. I did notice the yellow bass stacking vertically... as opposed to the crappie schools which were layed out more horizontally...so fishing multiple depths makes sense I guess.
Ky does not have a limit on # of hooks/line .... or # of poles/person. :)Quote:
