Bass
Fishing Report; Kentucky and Barkley Lakes; 5/17/2007
Both
lakes are at summer pool. Strong
northerly winds from two cold fronts that came through the area over the
past two days has kept most folks off the main lakes but the weekend
forecast looks good wind wise with light winds in the forecast.
We are definitely into the early summer patterns now with
Largemouth Bass in transition from spawn patterns to summer patterns and
the Smallmouth Bass feeding early and late in the day on the main lake
points. The Bluegill,
Shellcracker and Channel Catfish are still spawning and this should last
another week or so. The
White Bass are starting to get active and schools are starting to show
up on the main lake flats. Largemouth
Bass: The Largemouth are
being taken on post spawn patterns in the creeks and bay on creek
channel banks and secondary points as well as creek channel ledges.
These post spawn fish are being taken on Smallmouth
Bass: The Smallmouth Bass
are being taken on the main lake rocky points and first secondary points
in the bays especially early in the day and late in evening.
These fish are being taken on topwater lures, jigs and tube jigs.
I have not received any reports on the night Smallmouth fishing
which is the prevailing summer pattern for these brown fighters but I
suspect there is probably a pretty good night bite now.
Some
of the productive lures this week are:
Lucky Craft Sammy in ghost lemon shad, Lucky Craft G-splash in
ghost lemon shad, Rebel Pop R in shad patterns, Rapala DT series
crankbaits in parrot and bluegill, Norman DD series crankbaits in
tropical shad and rootbeer, Zoom trick worms in watermelon/red and
watermelon/purple, Hook Some Bass brush hounds in watermelon seed,
watermelon/red and watermelon/purple, Hook Some Bass spinnerbaits in
blue glimmer and green glimmer, Berkley power worms in motor oil, Baby
Paca Craws in green pumpkin and Last Cast jigs in green pumpkin.
If
you are in need of a 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.
Now is a great time to plan that trip to learn how to fish the
ledges. I am offering a
split day trip (4 hours morning and 4 hours evening) during July and
August. This is a great way
to beat the heat and capitalize on the better fishing hours.
Contact me for rates and details.
I
have the following dates available in May, June and July: May:

29, 30, 31 If
you have been on the water during the past week or so you may have
noticed a number of ladies out there fishing out of bass boats. Most of
these ladies are from the Women's Bassmaster Tour Trail and are here
checking out the lake for their tournament in June.
This is the first time these ladies have had one of their trail
tournaments here on N. Kentucky Lake in many years.
Take time out to say hello to these professional women anglers
and make them welcome here on Kentucky/Barkley.
Captain.
