Kentucky Lake

[indy basser]

Hey guys, I have a tournament on Saturday at Kentucky Lake.  Any onfo would be appreciated.  Are you guys in post spawn or early summer patterns?  Baits (if you're willing to share )?  just about anything i would take

I believe the bass are in post spawn mode.  There are some on the ledges but unless you dedicate about a week to just pre-fishing its going to be hard to pull up on a ledge and catch fish.

Just my opinion, I'd hit the main lake and primary points with the ole Carolina Rig or a jig.

If you want to know specific lures or colors, go to www.kentuckylake.com and check the fishing reports.  I highly recommend Dave Stewart's reports.  He knows what he is talking about.

Hope that helps.

you dont need a week to too prefish you just need to know which ones to fish and when to fish them find out when there are going to pull water and find a ledge i bet you will catch them. we caught 25 fish in 30 minutes with 14 out of 15 cast catching one and about half of these fish kept. we caught alot of fish this past weekend and several over 4 lbs

these went about 5lb a peice

I'm not calling you out but saying "We pulled up on a ledge" is kind of vague. I've pulled up on ledges before and pulled 6-7 pounders up but I was with a guide and he had dropped brushpiles there. That's the kind of stuff you don't just pull up on unless you have someone with some knowledge in your boat.

My point is that you have to know what drop they are on: 10-15, 15-20? Then you have to idle your boat while making a zig zag pattern while keeping the drop on the GPS.

Basically if you just pulled up on a ledge and slaughtered them, you need to play the lottery.

both of those fish were caught in 5 mins of pulling up onto one of our ledges.. i doesn't take long to figure out if they are there or not

I absolutely agree with and not trying to be rude, but you use the phrase "one of our ledges".   I just don't want to give this guy false hope of finding a ledge right off the bat.

I spent two years living 15 minutes from the Lake and it took me a while to find good ledges.  This guy is coming from IN and I wouldn't want him to spend his tournament days zig-zagging ledges trying to find one.

You have the key part of the equation, you know where the good ledges are.
