Thanks for the nice fish comments. Honestly though, I usually do not target kentuckys at all, I very rarely drop shot and always fish Indian point area to State Park marina. Long creek on few exceptions. My point is that I have snorkeled the lake several times in the summer and would find smallies and largemouth hanging around fallen trees in the 25 foot area, even in July. Therefore, I have taken that knowledge and assumed that there are fish almost always in that situation. I like to fish no more than a cast and a half from the bank, even in summer and throw texas rig whatever, the bigger the better. Jig/pig combos, top water, crankbaits and spinner baits. My ultimate point is that the more you throw and go, the more you will catch, some days are better than others...just sayin'....Oh and of course, reading the forum helps too. Trust your gut feeling on this, rising water, means shad will find cover in the bushes and so goes the bass, falling water means shad have to move back to cover, usually docks mid day, so do the bass, which is why i'll target docks when the water subsides, then on to sexy shad #5 crankbait in 58-62 water temp.

Hope this helps somebody.

Thanks

I only post if what i have to say is relevant, which isnt that often, about once a month

Seems like I am always ready to move shallow before the fish are. No doubt it takes them a few days to adjust to the rise and follow the food.

Any guesses as to what the COE response to this will be? Would think they will try to drop the lake, but how fast can they realistically pull it now?

Looking at the COE web site, looks like they are already pulling it and according to their forecast, they plan to pull it down by several inches a day til they get it back down to normal pool. In my experience, this draw the fish out near the edges of the bushes, which makes them more accessible. Should be a decent flipping bite but with the water clear, you'll have to keep the boat out from the bushes and make fairly long pitches.

What's the old line..."falling water points fish out"? Somewhat glad to hear they are not trying to suck it right to 910.
