Reelfoot has been my home lake for quite a while and the only place I have really focused on crappie fishing. It has been so slow this year that I have decided to start exploring Kentucky Lake. I was hoping to get some pointers on how to fish this water. I have a small 14 ft. john with a 9.9 Johnson on it so I really can't travel on the water like the big boats can. I need to put in close to where I want to fish. I am looking at Birdsong and Big Sandy areas which are about 2 hours travel from my home in the Hornbeak area. I have a HB 598 that I just picked up and will be learning how to use it as I go. I am set up to spider rig or single pole.
I was hoping that some of you might drop a few clues as to where to start exploring and the techniques to use for winter fishing these areas. It is a vastly different body of water then Reelfoot!
If anybody needs some company on the water for a day and wants to show me a few tricks I would be more then happy to join you and am available almost any time.
Thanks for your time and for any help you can offer.
Tight lines!
