long island basser Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Will be going for the first time for a week in July with the wife and kids( 18 & 20 yr.old). Will be staying in a lakefront house in the Lexington area. Looking to do quite a bit of bass fishing. Seeking any info as for lake locations that might be more productive than others and what might be the hot lures at this time. Thanks guys for any and all info given. Quote
johnmb Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Depending on the day, it can be a tough lake to fish. They just recently had the Oakley Big Bass Bash out there. This time of year it is going to be packed with the wakeboarders, skiiers, and tubers as well. Quote
Gotfishyfingers? Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 I just fished High Rock yesterday, first time. I had 2 small LMB come unbuttoned in the morning (both on a swimbait) and a few short strikes throughout the day. Although,the only fish I landed were white bass on a crankbait . Quote
Brocephus Fishing Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Depending on the day, it can be a tough lake to fish. They just recently had the Oakley Big Bass Bash out there. This time of year it is going to be packed with the wakeboarders, skiiers, and tubers as well. High Rock is and probably always will be my favorite lake to fish. However, as quoted above, High Rock can be tough to fish and will be packed with your weekend non-fishing friends, which can make for rough conditions anywhere near the main lake during the mid-day hours. I'm going to assume you'll be fishing from a boat, but if not that'll only make this lake more difficult to fish. Going ahead with my assumption, you'll want to figure out the creek you'll want to spend most of your time in (Second, Abbott's, Flat Swamp, etc.) and be on there just before safe light and stay in it as long as possible. Start with top water and then hit secondary points or docks (great cranking lake around those areas especially in places with submerged wood around rock) as the sun comes up. Be patient and grind it out. The bite can be tough, but as long as you stick with it you should land a few at least. Hope my input helps. 1 Quote
Crankinstein Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 firetiger crankbaits have always worked well for me as well as spinnerbaits there Quote
