Bass
Fishing Report; Kentucky and Barkley Lakes; 11/29/2007
Both
lakes are two feet over winter pool and on a slow drawdown.
The Largemouth Bass fishing continues to be very good overall.
The TVA has been steadily generating current over the past week,
something we have not seen since the drought started last spring.
The current has turned the Smallmouth on and some nice fish have
been taken. There is very
little fishing pressure on the lakes right now so if you want to get
into some good late fall fishing now is the time to get on the water
before winter gets here. Please
remember that the water and outside air temperatures are in the range
for hypothermic conditions so take precautions such as having an extra
set of dry clothing and a small survival kit in case you get stranded on
the water. Let someone know
where you will be fishing and when you expect to be home so they can
check on you. Largemouth
Bass: The Largemouth are
being taken on the primary and secondary points as well as the creek
channel banks in the creeks and bays.
These fish are being taken on spinnerbaits, crankbaits,
suspending jerkbaits and shaky head worms.
Although the shallow topwater bite has dropped off this week as
compared to the last couple of weeks, some fish are still being taken on
the shallow flats on topwater as well as lipless crankbaits and
spinnerbaits. Smallmouth
Bass: The Smallmouth are
being taken on main lake points and the secondary points in the front
halves of the bays. These
fish are being taken on crankbaits, spinnerbaits, suspending jerkbaits
and finesse jigs. The
Smallmouth bite this week has been good. Some
of the productive lures this week were:
Lucky Craft sammy and gunfish in ghost pearl lemon, Strike King
crankbaits in sexy shad, Bandit crankbaits in rootbeer and rootbeer/chartreuse,
Lucky Craft 78 pointers in chartreuse shad, table rock shad and black
aurora, Hook Some Bass spinnerbaits in blue glimmer, River Bottom shaky
head worms in green pumpkin, Zoom trick worm in green pumpkin (fished on
shaky head) and Last Cast finesse jigs in green pumpkin and missouri
craw. Normally
I put my boat away around the first of December every year and rest up
some before I start traveling around the country to do fishing seminars
in January and February. This
year I am going to continue to accept guide trips at least for the month
of December. I have openings
and short notice trips are a definite possibility right now if you have
a mind to try some late fall bass fishing.
You
should be making your plans and reservations for next season, especially
for the coming spring bite. If
you wait too late you may not be able to get the date(s) you want.
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 a line.
A
gift certificate for a guided bass fishing trip on Ky/Barkley makes a
great Christmas or special occasion gift for your favorite bass angler.
Our gift certificates are good for one year from date of purchase
and if you buy one before Christmas, you can purchase it at this year's
price which will save you money because my rates will be going up after
January 1st. Last
month I asked you for your prayers for one of our local professional
bass anglers, Scotty Young, which has been seriously injured in a
boating accident while fishing a tournament here on Ky Lake.
Scotty is now home after having undergone surgery at First
Kentucky Bank Captain.
