I have nothing against stripers but I think they eat a lot of the bass forage and once they get big they eat a lot. Hurts the bass population in my opinion.
The algae is bad in some coves up by the dam and has been for quite some time. I seen a bunch starting to float up last week before I left. It needs to get burned off quick. A few of my favorite places had a ton of algae. No crank or bottom bottom bite you could possibly get. Hope it's gone quick. Seems like a lot got started early this year.
Abkeenan I fished around your dock and cove last week and caught 2 the dock and some better fish towards the back. Always liked that cove. Nitros must be camoed since there was no warning shot haha. Oh and by the way there was some huge turkeys in your yard. Big gobblers with beards to the ground almost.
Haha not after the day I had today you guys would want me out of your boat. Caught around 7 or 8 fish today between my dad and I with maybe 3 keepers. Fished all day in the downpour. Pretty miserable out. Had quite a few come strike and misses on the stick bait. Seemed liked they were trying to kill it rather than eat it. Wish I could make it down guys and visit with all of you. Family is down here so I can't make it. I will definitely plan on it next time. Good luck guys and catch some biggun's.
Nice trout. I think they are becoming more common in Table Rock for some reason. If you have any pics of her post them please. Bet it was a beautiful trout.
It's cool they are having it there. I went to it 2 years ago and worked the expo for my cousins bait company. It was a great experience. I will probably go again. I wish they would have it in the south or in California where the weather is warmer. It's to hard to predict weather patterns in early March or late Febuary. Oh well. I really think Table Rock will hold a classic in the next few years. As much as the pros talk about the lake and how it has been publicized it wouldn't surpise me one bit.
Ok guys this might sound like a dumb question but when a cove is facing the south are you talking about the back of the cove being on the north side and the mouth being more south oriented? I think o get the concept I usually just refer to it as fishing the coves on the north side of the lake.
Well I was down here and the boat was on a lift so I went out for few hours in the dam area this evening. Crazy I know. Caught 2 over 5 lbs and 2 other football kentuckys. All on Stickbait and pretty shallow. It was brutal out there but the fishing was good and scenery was beautiful. Got one of the bigger fish on the go pro but only took a pic of one kenticky. Hands were to cold ha
I'm down here right now and haven't made it out to fish yet. I thought there would be a break in the snow at some point but none yet. I would get out there now but clean up would take to long and I don't want the boat carpet to mildew after I leave and put the cover on. Bummer trip so far
The action looks good but a lot of baits do when you run them by the boat like they do. I have seen it. They run the trolling motor on high and let it hang by the boat. Not knocking it but it looks good.
Abkeenan I know I'm in trouble with the spro gods haha. I actually prefer the mcstick over the megabass about 80% of the time. The spro bait is way more durable and the paint job doesn't wear as much. The thing about megabass is I really like their colors. Spro has some great colors but megabass has more to choose from. I'm thinking about getting some mcstick blanks if I can find some and having them painted.
Thanks for the color recommendation guys. Quillback you are right. I can see I need about 20 more color options in my arsenal and at least 5 baits in each color which adds up to about $100,000 haha
Just wondering what colors you guys that throw them on table rock like. I've got the kohoku reaction, French pearl, TN shad, Ito wakasagi, and table rock sp.
Nice trip and way to stay after them, especially up shallow like that. Thinking about getting down there this weekend but the weather reports keep changing.
