Was hoping to make it down there soon. Sounds like I should wait and keep checking the conditions.
I think it's still a little early for the actual spawn? Are the fish just now moving up? Hopefully the fish will spawn in deeper water. Would be a shame if they spawned shallow and the water dropped drastically.
Best,
Greg
Are the pictures you posted, of the Redear you caught at KY Lake?
Heard about all the rain. Are they still catching them? What color was the water when you left?
Thanks,
Greg
Hope you enjoy this great site.
