typical cracker spawn

I wanted to bring my girlfriends son 26 and his son 6 down for some of Kentucky lake monster shell crackers but I don't know much about the spawn or fishing for them, whom ever will pm me with info on the bite and timing of same can have all we catch, I'm looking to get this 6 year old hooked on fishing in a big way

we fish for gills up here but biggest is about 5 inches long, I'd love to get pics of this young man with a 3/4 to 1 lbs'er

you can pm me the info and your info will go to the grave with me, like I said this all about a six year old future fisherman


thanks guys

Depends on the weather of course but usually 1st or 2nd week of May is a good bet.

thanks GT, guys I know my request for this kind of info is almost a sacrilegious request but this is for the child just want him to get the fever that's all

again thank you all

Check out the backs of major creeks where there is sand or gravel bottom, not expansive mud flats. Look for vegetation such as what we call yellow mustard that has gotten flooded as the lake level comes up. Cast with a slip bobber or tightline cast with a drop-shot with red worms or nightcrawler pieces.

You will find the typical redear fisherman to be MUCH tighter-lipped than crappie fishermen ever thought about being.

mrdux I will do that thank you very much sir

Headed to Eureka as we speak.

Seriously, though, can you really see beds on one of those side scan contraptions?

Thanks for posting that link. I need to take the plunge. I honestly had no idea you could locate beds like that.
