Bass
Fishing Report; Kentucky and Barkley Lakes; 8/16/2007
Both
lakes are two feet below summer pool. Well I thought it was hot
last week but this week proved to be even hotter with record
temperatures just about every day this week. The weather forecast
for the weekend looks a little better as does next week with high
temperatures in the mid 90's instead of the triple digits we have had
this week. Of course when I wrote my report last week, the
forecast was for temperatures in the 90's and then the forecast was
changed two days later to indicate the high temperatures we had this
week...all we can do is cross our fingers I guess as that seems to be
what the weather guessers are doing. The bite was somewhat slower
on the Largemouth this week as far as the shallow water bite. We
did catch some fish but they were of less number and quality. The
ledges this week was a matter of being on the ledges when there was some
current being generated. We did manage some nice fish off the
ledges a couple of days this week. I did not receive many reports
from other anglers this week as most people are avoiding the heat. Overall
I would say the Largemouth fishing was slow to fair and the weather was
just plain hot. Largemouth
Bass: Largemouth are being taken on ledges on the main lake and
around the mouths of the bays on Smallmouth
Bass: A few Smallmouth are being taken early and late in the day
on main lake points on crankbaits and jigs. Some Smallmouth are
being taken on the river ledges on Some
of the productive lures reported this week are: Yozuri Pop n
Splash in ghost lemon, Hook Some Bass chatterbaits in blue glimmer, Hook
Some Bass spinnerbaits in blue glimmer, Zoom brush hogs in
watermelon/candy and junebug, Hook Some Bass baby brush hounds in
watermelon/purple and watermelon/red, Charmer worms in fire and ice,
Hook Some Bass jigs in pepper/pumpkin/green and Jewel jigs in green
pumpkin. FLASH:
Reminder that the benefit tournament and auction to assist Chris
Hamilton will be held at Paris Landing this Saturday the 18th.
Chris, an avid outdoorsman from the area was paralyzed in an accident
recently and the tournament and auction are being held to assist with
his medical bills and family. Many nationally and regionally known
professional anglers and hunters have donated guided trips, equipment,
memorabilia etc to be auctioned at a dinner just after the tournament on
Saturday. The list of items is huge and eye opening so if you have
not made plans to attend you need to check it out and make plans to
attend. More information can be found at www.helpchrishamilton.com
. Update:
As many folks know, I put a new Evinrude ETEC HO on my boat about 8
weeks ago. I have had a lot of folks asking me how I like the
engine and how it is performing so I thought that since I have now
gotten some hours on this engine I would do a follow-up and let everyone
know how the engine is working out. I have had absolutely no (and
I mean zero) problems out of this engine. I am still amazed at how
quiet the engine is and how much power this engine displays. The
low and midrange pickup is great and the gas mileage is even greater.
Keep in mind that I put more hours on an engine in a month than most
folks do in a year or two. I have no reservations in recommending
this engine to anyone in the market for a new boat or just a new motor.
You can see these engines locally here at Jet-A-Marine located 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 give me a call or drop me an email. If you have not
made your fall reservations for your fall fishing trips yet, you need to
do so soon or you may not be able to get the date(s) you want. I
have the following dates available for booking in August, September and
October: August:
26, 27, 31 September:
5, 8, 10, 19, 23, 24, 25, 28, 30 October:
8, 10, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 24 Captain.
