Did any body do any good? We went to Lake Malone and got skunked. We had a good time on the water setting up the new Lowrance LMS520C on the boat. Rode around and marked some waypoints and found some structure, so it was not a complete bust. Water was high and muddy except in the very back. Seen alot of people out ,and the ones we talked to said they weren't doing any good. I was just wondering if anybody had any luck.
Went to a small so. In. lake (32acres) on Sat. The fish weren't acting right. Caught 35 keeper bluegills and no crappies, the lake is full of black crappies but they were hiding somewhere. There was some ice on the lake when I got there, but it melted during the day. The water temp was 39 degrees. The fish were about 5' deep in 10' of water.
At least you got some gills!

M28, That lake is private but bluegills are biting in all the small lakes now. I filleted them and the wife made some bluegill chowder. It was so good I had to pat my foot while I ate it.:D
Lucky man popeye !!! Making me hungry !!!
Hey klight1122 was on the same lake rideing around in a blue tracker got skunked too were we in the same boat.
Just got home with 21 keepers. All in all it was a great day to fish. We have a big mess of fillets and caught all kinds of fish. We were fishing 3 mile creek in Aberdeen, Ohio and Lawrence creek below Maysville, Ky. Wind was terrible but the fish were biting. Life is Good !!! Most were caught with minnows and slip bobbers although my partner caught 4 or 5 on jigs.
I bluegill fished Malone on Sat. Kept 7 bluegill and 1 channel cat to eat. I had 38F on the Hbird 997. That is cold water. Just finished installing the 997 on the front and linking it to the 987 on the back. Worked great and marked some new structure. It was nice to get out of the house for sure.
Bluegillin, where were you at? we covered the entire lake Saturday. We talked to a few, but everyone said no luck. We were in a blue PT175 Tracker, what were you in? Where you live in BG? We fish Malone quite often, we need to hook up some time! I would love to see the si in use.

I put in at the dam and fished the main lake area mostly. I did head up a couple of the creeks. I was in a 16 Xpress jon. Me and a buddy that wanted to check out the SI. I hardly ever fish Malone, just a few times till KY lake hits 50F. I like to go to Malone to get everything ready for spring, with gas at $3.00 KY is too far for a 1/2 day trip. I will be fishing frequently from now till christmas. Drop me a PM and we'll set-up a trip. I bluegill fish mostly, but will try the crappie.
I think the fishing was spotty last weekend. I and a buddy fished pretty hard Saturday and we caught only five fish. The water color that I had fretted about was pretty good and no wind. I just couldn't find the darn things. I did talk to some guys that had a little better luck but not much. I am reading that a little farther south some people had pretty good days. Go figure, I guess they are better fishermen than I am.
THE BANDIT
Eddy Creek Bandit, I was in Dawson Springs today. The company I work for supply the Minit Mart they are building. I believe that water temp and the lake being muddy and high had more to do with it than your abilities. Spring is just around the corner. :)

We were talking about KY Lake, but neither one of us have ever fished there. Maybe this year we will change that! If you go back to Malone pm me, if I am off I would love to see the si in operation. I have heard so much about them.

Don't think I've ever been skunked on Kentucky Lake in my life crappie fishing, but at least I finally got out of the house and enjoyed the weather!
I have come to the conclusion that fishing out of a boat was a mistake this weekend, I fished Barkley and have talked to two other guys, one fished Ky, one fished Barkley no one was able to find fish. Go to work Monday an older couple fishing from the bank caught 18 keepers Saturday, A different guy told me his friend caught 19 keepers from the bank Sunday ,all on Barkley.
You know, I am stupid. After reading about the fish caught off the banks I realized that I fished where I thought the White Crappie should have been. From Shallow to very deep, the few fish we caught were pretty deep. However, I did not try to find the Black Crappie, I should have tried a few shallow gravel banks. I am an idiot! Pretty day to be on the lake.
THE BANDIT
I fished from the middle of the bay to the mouth never dreamed of fishing in the back of the bay.Quote:

THE BANDIT
My dad and I fished Ky Lake Saturday and we had 20 keepers. Fish were caught in 10'-15' of water. It was great to be on the water.
Bandit I was fishing Dryden I very seldom fish Eddy Creek. If I ever see you I will stop and say hi.
