KYbassman67 Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 Just wanted to say hello to everyone!! I am fairly new to sport fishing, I have fished all my life using mainly live bait catching sunfish and blue gill with the occasional channel cat. I have switched over to bass fishing using all artificial, and it has been so much fun. I have been catching large-mouth like crazy in different public and private ponds and lakes. I also had some good luck with smallies while river fishing during the summer using a small red rooster-tail. Anyway, just wanted to say hello and pose a question... Is it true that right now when the temp. is around 45 to 50degrees F, bass fishing is at its peak? I have had some good luck using mostly freak bait and worms with the large mouth, and it seems to me they are biting pretty well right now in this mild climate. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted October 27, 2008 Super User Posted October 27, 2008 WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No , 45 to 50 degree water temperature is not the peak time for bass fishing. Quote
KYbassman67 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Posted October 27, 2008 Thank you!!! I'm actually not exactly sure what the water temp. is, I just meant the weather in general because I have always heard fishing in the fall and spring is the best way to go even tho most of my time on the lake comes during the summer!

I spend all my time in Lex., go to the Ville from time to time to visit friends, but I'm glad to hear your familiar with the area...Elkhorn fishing pretty decent? I did a lot of fishing on the Liking this year, none on the Ohio though. I have been looking into purchasing a Kayak, but I don't know if it would be worth it? Anyway, I have spent my entire life in KY and enjoy the fishing and wildlife throughout this whole state! Quote
