Bass
Fishing Report; Kentucky and Barkley Lakes; 10/11/2007
Both
lakes are approximately 3.5 feet below summer pool. The heat wave
we experienced last week and over the weekend ending abruptly this week
with two arctic cold fronts that traversed the lakes area over the
past 72 hours. We have had strong north winds over the past few
days and much lower temperatures. The water temperatures are
dropping, which is a good thing for those of us waiting on more
shad and thus more bass to move shallow for the fall feeding.
The cold fronts obviously slowed the shallow water bite over the past
few days, not that it was great last week with the heat wave, but we
should see some significant improvement in the shallow water fishing in
the very near future. The better bite this week has been on the
ledges around the mouths of the bays as the fish are staging there and
on primary and secondary points in the bays. I expect we will see
some significant improvement in the shallow water fishing over the next
week if the present weather forecast of highs in the upper 70's and
low 80's with night temperatures in the 50's holds true. The north
winds are forecasted to end after tomorrow with a shift to a more
southerly direction and the weekend looks like it will be a nice one
to be on the water. Largemouth
Bass: Largemouth are being taken on the shallow main lake
ledges and ledges around the mouths of the bays on Carolina rigged small
creature baits, slow rolled spinnerbaits and by dragging jigs. Largemouth
are also being taken on main lake primary points and secondary
points in the bays (especially around chunk rock) on crankbaits,
spinnerbaits, shaky head worms and jigs. Some Largemouth are
being taken early and late in the day on topwater lures in the backs of
the bays and pockets off the main lakes (this bite has been slow the
past couple of days) and on the flats in the bays during the day on
spinnerbaits, lipless crankbaits, chatterbait type lures and Carolina
rigged creature baits. Smallmouth
Bass: Smallmouth are being taken on the main lake primary and secondary
points, especially around chunk rock, on crankbaits, tube jigs and
finesse jigs. Although no large numbers are being reported, some
nice fish are being taken. Some
of the productive lures this week were: Lucky Craft gunfish
in ghost pearl lemon, Hook Some Bass spinnerbaits in blue glimmer, Hook
Some Bass vibe (chatterbait) in blue glimmer, Hook Some Bass baby brush
hounds in watermelon/purple, Net Baits finesse worms in green pumpkin on
shaky heads, Last Cast Lures finesse jigs in peanut butter
jelly and green pumpkin with matching baby paca craw trailers, Lewis
rattletraps in blue/chrome and Bandit crankbaits in rootbeer and
rootbeer/chartreuse. If
you are in need of a BASS guide for some fun bass fishing, tournament
preparation, lake familiarization or technique instruction don't
hesitate to give me a call or drop me an email for one of my open dates.
The best fall fishing is always in late October and during the month of
November. I have the following dates available for booking in
October and November: October:
