CJ Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Got out on the water about 3:00 today and boy was it a nice day. Light winds and the fish are really becoming active. We had close to twenty fish today. Several nice ones but only one that was picture worthy. The jerkbait is really on! 6 lbs. 4 oz. Hope everybody's water starts warming up soon! Quote
KyCam Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 It's good to see another Kentucky fisherman on the forums especially when he is holding up a nice bass. Quote

Don't you have work to do? Quit bothering our fish. We'll exercise them in a couple of weeks. Nice fish, GREAT pic! Do you think that fish was full of eggs already or fat from feeding? ;D ;D ;D Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted March 17, 2009 Super User Posted March 17, 2009 Thanks for the post CJ, glad to know they are there and the bite is on! Now if they can hold on for a few days yet Quote
Super User senile1 Posted March 17, 2009 Super User Posted March 17, 2009 Nice plump one there, CJ! Quote
IdahoLunkerHunter Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Great to see what is possible for the Road Trip. Now I really have a bad case of cabin fever Quote
CJ Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 The water temps are on the rise. I've seen some water up around 60. Lake levels are just a couple inches above 355'. It's got 4 ft. to go to get to summer pool. I don't care what it does...they're biting and will be for awhile! Ryan, I'm using jerkbaits that run about 4 ft. deep. I don't expect the jerkbait to last much longer if the water temps keep rising. I've been catching them shallow mostly but that gal was close to deep water. I was actually looking for a brown fish when I caught her. Everyday more fish are moving up and towards the back. Some fish never left the shallows. RW, I would say that she has a little bit of both going on. Most of the bass are like footballs right now due to the shad kills. Though, she should be producing eggs by now? Thanks ya'll!!! BTW, RW somedays a guy has to take a break. I did bust my backside yesturday morning to make the short outing possible...I'm saving plenty I promise! Gonna bust my butt again in the morning!! : CJ Quote
