I'm not in Kentucky, and I haven't fished in about a month. There might be a chance that I can go on Saturday around my neck of the woods, and I'm probably pulling crankbaits,
I have been pulling crankbaits specifically flicker shad 5 with alot of success and targeting alot of southern indiana lakes. headed out to taylorsville in the am to try my luck there.Quote:

I have "Pushed" cranks (pre-Livescope) and done okay (at Green), but have done far better Pushing jigs (at Green & Taylorsville). I preferred Pushing to Pulling for "control" reasons & length of line out reasons.
I know slabeye used to Push cranks in the middle of the day at Green and was quite successful doing so, but I don't remember if his success was better in the early Summer months or later Summer Months.
Keep us posted if any success. I’m considering going to Tville as well.Quote:

Yeah, but the Chowning ramp area downstream thru the horseshoe bend to Heddy Run is prime Hybrid territory !!Quote:

No, Chachi .... the "state park" ramp is around the corner to the left of the marina and it's called Possum Ridge. The marina ramp is Settler's Trace ramp. The other two ramps on the lake are at the other end of the lake, which are Chowning Lane ramp & Van Buren ramp.Quote:

using 6 and 8lb mono line pulling 1.5mph. the flicker shad should be running 8-10 feet deep. But i know for sure i pulled over some flats that they bumped the bottom for a bit. This new boat my graph isn't up front so i was flying blind. But it was fun vs starting at a screen. I had a plan mapped out before i took off looking at depth charts and the lake is also currently at pool. There was a gentleman there crappie fishing and filming for youtube. He ended up with one over 15".

best summer I have had pulling cranks on Kentucky Lake. June was on fire. I haven't pulled since July 1st though as I switch over ever July to chase catfish and let the crappie rest until fall. Lots of limits before noon this year and a few before 10am. The fish was really setup good and suspended in June not holding too tight to cover and we were able to whack them pretty good.
Check out Doug Wynn's reports on KentuckyLake.com. He pulls cranks and fin spins on the north end.
