Bass
Fishing Report; Kentucky and Barkley Lakes; Sep. 14, 2006
Both
lakes are 3 ft below summer pool with little fluctuation. In last
week's report I alluded to the fact that we were approaching the time
for the fish to transition from summer to fall patterns. I also
mentioned that if present weather patterns continued we could be looking
at an early fall bite. The water temperatures have dropped another
2 degrees since last week and the fish are definitely in transition now.
The weather forecast shows that although we will have one day this
weekend with a high of 87, the rest of the days in the 10 day forecast
is for highs in the 60's and 70' with lows ranging from the 50's with
even a couple of days with low temperatures in the mid 40's early next
week. If this trend continues we will definitely be on a full
blown fall fishing pattern early this year. Today I saw the first
major school of adult threadfin shad in the back of on of the larger
creeks. The shallow fish I have been catching this week are of
more quality than the shallow fish that I was catching during the summer
patterns. We still have plenty of fish on the ledges but some are
moving in and this movement should continue with these kind of weather
forecasts. Largemouth
Bass: The Largemouth Bass are being taken both on ledges and humps
near the mouths of the bays as well as on the flats in the creeks and
bays. The deeper fish are being taken on deep diving crankbaits, Smallmouth
Bass: The Smallmouth Bass are being taken on the river ledges and
main lake points on Some
of the productive lures this week are: Lucky Craft Sammy in ghost
pearl lemon, Lucky Craft G Splash in ghost pearl lemon, Yozuri poppers
in same pattern as the G-splash (not sure what they call the pattern),
Zoom horny toads in white, Hook Some Bass spinnerbaits in blue
glimmer, Hook Some Bass baby brush hounds in watermelon/purple, Hook
Some Bass tubes in green pumpkin and chameleon craw, Norman deep little
n in rootbeer, Bandit crankbaits in rootbeer and Strike King bitsy flip
jigs in green pumpkin/craw with Paca Craw trailer in green pumpkin.
The
fall bite is rapidly coming upon us....let's hope for a long fall this
year (fall fishing is always a lot of fun). 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. I have the following dates available in
October and November: October:
12, 13, 22, 24, 27, 29, 30, and 31 November:
I have plenty of dates in November...now is the time to book to get the
date(s) you want. Later
this month we will start seeing a lot of big end of year bass
tournaments here on the lakes. I would like to welcome all of you
folks coming to fish our lakes. I am sure you will find a lot of
good Dave
