sorry about the late report, been busy. when we arrived to our room, it was in the upper 90s, not a good sign on the week to come. there was a heat advisory
almost everyday we were there. we would get up at 430am every morning and be on the water around 5, just as the sun was rising. we couldnt stay out long, 1030
was about the latest we could bear the heat, forgot to mention it was dead calm unltil the last 2 days. no the best fishing conditions but we still caught alot
of fish.
heres the day by day:
Sunday(pm) dad-3 me 2. not such a great day, but hey it was our first time out.
Monday(am) dad-23 me-12. we caught fish on ledges using 10inch worms and jigs in 21-30FOW. also caught alot around bridge pilings. big bass was 16" by
both.
Monday(pm) dad-10 me-6. all fish caught at bridge, BB was 17in on drop shot.
Tuesday(am) dad-5 me-5. legde and bridge, no big ones.
Tuesday(pm) dad-5 me-3. points, no big ones.
Wednesday(am) dad-6 me-10. decided to go to Lake Barkley since not much happening on KY. fished ledge without success. we were fishing the bank and i had on a
giant. it came up and threw the jig, not going to over exgaggerate, id say a solid 5, i really think 6 or over but cant really say since ive never caught one
that big. we fished a flat and i got big bass at 18in and 2-15
Wednesday(pm) dad-0 me-2. only skunk on the trip. i got a 17.5incher in a bay on a tube in about 20FOW.
Thursday(am)(Barkley) dad-3 me-6. flat around 930am, i catch a nice 20incher, but only 3-4? and as i have him by the boat, another bass swims up about the same
size. this happened twice there. later got a 17incher that was 3-1. had another keeper that made this 3 fish limit at about 9#.
Thursday(pm) dad-6 me-1. my only one came by a big barge tie in 21-30FOW on a tube. dads were from bridge.
Friday(am)(Barkley) dad-6 me-1. i only got one little one and dad got 3 nice keepers on the flat, same time as they were biting everyday, 930. biggest was 2-4
for him.
Friday(pm) dad-15 me-10. bridge. dad got a nice 16inch smallie in 21FOW on a senko. i missed 2 fish from that spot and got a little largemouth.
Saturday(am)(Barkley) dad-13 me-3. we got the mostly on a roadbed and the same flat. biggest was 16.5in on a tube.
Saturday(pm) dad-1 me-2. couldnt buy a bite, got em on rocks.
so, no huge fish but some decent ones. we ended up with a grand total of 159 bass with a cat, sauger and white bass. thats 12 per trip and 24 per day on
average. most were caught on senkos and tubes dragged.
we had a good time and plan on going down again in the future. hopefully with better weather conditions and cooler and bigger bass lol. ill have pics up soon.
