Dock-in-it Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I fished 3 deep bite locations this morning. Finally found some bait & fish on the 3rd stop. The strong wind really limited the locations I could try. Managed to catch 5 decent keepers and a few shorts. I caught keepers fishing both vertical (3) and horizontal (2). In the productive area, the shad were stacked solid from 40 to 70 ft. I had to get on the edges of the stacked shad to catch them. Caught keepers on ice jig, 4" grub, and kastmaster spoon fished horizontal. Most of the vertical fish appeared as singles on my screen and I did not catch any of those. I needed 2 or 3 fish looking at my jig before I could aggravate one into biting. Boat control was key, because it took a while to trigger a bite. There was no magical feeding frenzy today, you had to be patient and work for each bite. About every 30 minutes a fish would chase shad to the surface and a few times I was within casting distance to take advantage. No Kentucky keepers today. Stayed in 40-80 feet of water. Did not see another boat. This post has been promoted to an article SplitG2, Phil Lilley, snagged in outlet 3 and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Babler Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Man, those are chunks. Thanks for the report for us guys that are just to lazy to get out there. No bass boats in the Clevenger/Beardsley stretch the last 2 days except the smooth bore bird hunters.

Quillback Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Some nice quality fish, too windy today for me, but glad to see someone is keeping those fish on their toes! Dock-in-it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longball22 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 How was the water temp? Assuming it has lost a few degrees after the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dock-in-it Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 The WT was 45.3. It might take a long lasting extreme cold spell to drop down from 45. Last year the WT was 46 to 47 on Jan 11th and it took 7 days of extreme temps to drop the WT to 43. These comments just apply to the Kim City area. magicwormman and Daryk Campbell Sr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
