Bass Fishing Report; Kentucky and Barkley Lakes; Nov. 9, 2006
Bass Buster Guide Service

Kentucky Lake :  
Water Level at Ky Dam - 355.00   
Surface Temperature - 57

Lake Barkley :  
Water Level at Barkley Dam - 354.90 
Surface Temperature - 57

Both lakes are one foot over winter pool.  The train of cold fronts continues here in the lakes area with a cold front moving thru the area about every 48 to 72 hours.  This has continued to make the bass fishing very sporadic with some good days and some very tough days.  Success seems to based more on being in the right place at the right time more so than being able to run a good pattern.  The Crappie seems to be the most consistent bite from all the reports I am receiving.  Another cold front will be moving thru the lakes area late tomorrow dropping daytime highs back into the 50's.  High winds from the northwest are forecasted for Saturday.  The weather reports (especially the wind) have been changing repeatedly so one should check the latest wind forecasts from the NWS before you venture on the lakes.

Largemouth Bass:  The Largemouth Bass are being taken on a number of patterns, none of which seem to be consistent from one day to the next.  Largemouth are being taken in shallow water in the creeks and bays feeding on schools of baitfish with spinnerbaits, crankbaits and jerkbaits.  Largemouth are also being taken on secondary creek channel points on crankbaits, suspending jerkbaits and Texas rigged creature baits.  Largemouth are also being taken on main lake primary and secondary points on topwater lures, spinnerbaits, crankbaits and suspending jerkbaits. 

Smallmouth Bass:  Smallmouth Bass are being taken on the main lake primary and secondary points on topwater lures, crankbaits, tube jigs and jigs. 

Some of the lures reported to be productive this week are:  Lucky Craft sammy and gunfish in ghost pearl lemon and chartreuse shad, Lucky Craft pointer in chartreuse shad and table rock shad, Rapala flat sided DT crankbaits in grey pearl shiner, Rapala shad rap in black/silver, Bandit crankbaits in rootbeer and white, Lewis rattletraps in blue/chrome, Hook Some Bass brush hounds in watermelon/purple and Hook Some Bass spinnerbaits in blue glimmer. 

I still have a number of days open for booking in November.  If you are in need of a guide for some fun bass fishing, tournament preparation, lake familiarization or technique instruction give me a call or drop me an email.  You should be making your reservations now for your spring fishing next year.  If you delay too long you may not be able to get the dates you want.  

A Gift Certificate for a guided bass fishing trip makes a great holiday gift for the avid bass angler.  Call me or email me for information.
