We were fishing bluffs with short shelves about 6 ft. deep on the main channels next to deep water . The temp. was 66 i think im not sure i didn't have alot of time to take alot of notes . We were using crickets and black and yellow grubs on beetlespins . The bigger fish seem to be just over the ledge of the shelves . The CRACKERS came from sand bars out in the middle close to stake beds . I'm ready to go back now ! Brother -n-law says its not even got good yet , man i hope he's right .…

What a day ! Kentucky lake is great ! My first day on ky. lake and im cleaning 43 fish . The gills are monsters and my personal favorite the CRACKERS are wonderful and huge . The crappie arent bad either . My brother-n-law and father-n-law and myself got to the lake around 11am and left at 4 and had non stop pole bending action!!!! My poor wife , i know im gonna be at the brother-n-laws house more than my own now . I'm gonna have to invest in a camper at the lake of course !  

Today was a good day ! This morning started a little slow but when the breeze picked up the bite was on caugth 25 or 30 not sure but i know exactly how many 10" or better i used my knife on 18 . Todays lunker was 14 - 3/4 " long . I love Shell Crackin !! I did catch a few big gills but i only had 4 that was 9 inches . Crackers got to be 10 and the gills got to be 9 you gotta leave seed or your fishing hole will go dry . Its only gonna get better now !!
