BrianMRetter Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 Guys from Kentucky, are you seeing pre-spawn activity yet? Whats the water like down there? Quote
clark9312 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I'm going out again Sunday and will let you know. Been a little colder these past couple nights than it has been but highs in the 60s Sunday 1 Quote
Senko Junkie Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Most water temps are still in the high 40's on the Northeast side of the sate 1 Quote
clark9312 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I ended up going somewhere else and regretted it lol, I should've went to cedar. I'm not sure on the water temp at cedar but at cave run I found water temps ranging between 49-56 Quote

I only fished the main lake, though. 1 Quote
clark9312 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I found those temps at the mouth of the river, it was really muddy up there though. Also I fished by the dam right before I left and the water was warm there too but didn't catch a fish all day. Did you catch any? Quote
LBASS01 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I fished this past Sunday for about 3 hours in the afternoon. First 2 hours I was using a spinnerbait, senko, and ned rig with no bites at all. Switched to a Yo-Zuri red and black lipless crankbait and caught 3 keepers in a row. Then the bite slowed down again. Water was still pretty cold. Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted March 10, 2017 Super User Posted March 10, 2017 How's the southern part of the state looking? Specifically Kentucky lake I have the KBF national championship there in 2 weeks. Would be nice to take home that fat payday how's the fishing been down that way. 1 Quote

We were on the north bank next to the dam for a while. The wind was supposed to light and variable but was 10-15 out of the east and pretty cold. Wind eventually died down. Fished a couple coves but never got down to the river. Quote
38 Super Fan Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 Low 50s on Wood Creek last weekend. Low 50s and upper 40s on Laurel Lake a few days before that. This cool and windy snap has had me off the water since then. Quote
lonnie g Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 some friends of mine been catching some 5 and 6 lb ladies out of wood creek lake. just last week. 2 Quote
WildmanWilson Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I just want to know how Ky got put in the north east forum? Lol 6 Quote
38 Super Fan Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Starting to see a few shallow bass now on Laurel, caught this one yesterday: 2 Quote
Hillbilly Bennett Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 That's a nice one Superfan! The fish are starting to move towards the banks here in eastern KY but the recent rains have turned my home lake in to a mud hole with 6 inches of visibility at the most. Water temps are nearing the 60s in the afternoons now. Anyone have suggestions for catching prespawners in water that looks like chocolate milk? Quote

As for muddy water, I like a Black/Blue jig with some bulk to it. The fish should be very shallow and often tight to any cover. A chartreuse spinnerbait with some big gold blades, or a black/blue chatterbait should be good options too. I admit I'm no muddy water expert though! Quote
Hillbilly Bennett Posted March 30, 2017 Posted March 30, 2017 Thanks for the input. I don't fish muddy water a lot but over the past 2 years I've been fishing Dewey Lake in Prestonsburg and it always has less clarity than I'm used too. I spent a lot of time on lakes that are gin clear like Laurel in my younger years so it always messes with my confidence when I'm in muddy water. 1 Quote
clark9312 Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 When Dewey is muddy this time of year try a red and black crank 1 Quote
