Does anyone have any Red ear reports for Ky Or Barkley ? I've been hearing of people starting to catch them, but haven't heard if the were on beds or how deep they are.

banchaser, Good info on the Bluegills and Crackers, Coming down in Early May. Can you do some Voodoo magic and keep them 'killin the bobber rigs' until I can get there?
I doubt the spawn is over anywhere in ky. just sayingQuote:

Something is going on with the Asian Carp. They are swimming in circles on top of the water and dying. It seems they've been poisoned...it would be nice to have transparency on what is really going on.
Paul Rister of the KYFW says in a FB post it is a virus that affects only the Silvers during the spawn when they are stressed. No effect on the others.Quote:

Usually I'm fishing shallow the whole month of April, but not this year! I'm still catching slabs in 15 to 20 ft. of water. Don't get me wrong, I still hit the banks and shallows early in the morning and late in the evening, but the deeper water tops are producing just fine!!
I assumed that the carp were just spawning and the crazy way they were acting was just part of their routine. Can't help but wonder if they are still doing this once the redear and bluegill are on the banks if it will really screw up the spawn. The way they were rooting around in the mud the other day I can't imagine it won't tear up some beds.
