Bass
Fishing Report; Kentucky and Barkley Lakes; 3/9/2007
Both
lakes are nearly 3 ft over winter pool. Both lakes are forecasted
to be pulled down .7 ft over the next 3 days. Largemouth
Bass: The Largemouth Bass fishing this week has been good. I
have received a number of good reports of Largemouth catches. These
fish are being taken on main lake primary and secondary points mostly
with a few reports of fish being taken on secondary points and creek
channel banks in the bays. These fish are being taken with medium
running crankbaits, suspending jerkbaits, blade baits, jigs and
shakey head worms. Smallmouth
Bass: The Smallmouth Bass fishing has been somewhat slow this
week. The reports I have received all indicated a single fish here
and there being taken on main lake primary and secondary pea
gravel points on suspending jerkbaits. I did find some nice
Smallmouth today on a river channel ledges suspended around 17 ft in 25
ft of water. I expect we will see more Smallmouth on the points
within the next week as the water warms a little more. Some
of the productive lures reported this week are: Lucky Craft
Pointer in aurora black and table rock shad, Rapala Xrap in
black/silver, Rapala Shad Rap in crawdad, Rattletraps in rootbeer,
Wiggle Warts in crayfish patterns, Berkley Power Baits Shakey
Head worm in green pumpkin, blade baits in chartruese, black/chartruese
and silver and Last Cast jigs in green pumpkin. Product
Report: While I was doing seminars at the Indianapolis Boat, Sport
and Travel Show, I was introduced to a small custom hand tied jig
company named Last Cast Baits. I was impressed with the obvious
quality of these custom made hand tied jigs and brought a few home
with me. As you can see in my report above they are mentioned as
being one of the productive lures for me this week. Today was the
first time I had a chance to try one of these jigs. I picked one
of their 1/4 oz Green Pumpkin finesse jigs and tipped it with a matching
Tiny Paca Craw. I only made 5 casts with this jig and had 3 fish
off a brush pile. I expect I will be ordering some more of these
jigs very soon. If you are interested in trying some of these jigs
you can contact Last Cast Bait Co by calling 317-835-2068. By the
way, Ray Rigby, one of the best Smallie anglers in For
those of you that are coming here to fish the tournaments this year or
just coming to enjoy our great bass fishing for the fun of it, I
would like to recommend that you stop by The Cabin Bait and Tackle
located on U.S. 62 in Kuttawa and check out their great selection of
name brand and custom lures. This tackle shop has become one of
the most popular stops for bass anglers since it opened a couple of
years ago. This year they have expanded the store to include an even
bigger selection. Check it out, I don't think you will be
disappointed that you did. Another
business that you should keep in mind when visiting the lakes area here
is Jet-A-Marina located on U.S. 62 in 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 drop me an email or give me a call. I have the
following dates open in March, April, May and June: March:
