11/18 point 5

[Phil S]

Fished from about 6:30-9:30. Decent top water early caught a nice fat 19”Kentucky on a popper and a smaller one. Striper boats in the area but didn’t see much bait on the screen or Striper’s hitting the top. Caught a few more small Kentuckys and a decent smallmouth on small keitechs. Those things don’t last but one fish. Caught 2 more smallmouth on a new rig both probably 10 inches. Lots of bites, was hoping for a walleye but didn’t get one.

A 19" Kentuck is a good one for this lake.  

Do you superglue the keitechs to the jighead?  I do and usually I'll get several fish on one before they get torn up.

Do you know where that shallow water buoy is about 1/2 mile south of point 5 on the same bank as the point 5 bluff?  If I wanted a shot at a walleye, there's a gravel bar/flat that runs out from the bank to that buoy and it has always looked like a place that would be good for Mr. Wallie.  I think I remember catching one there several years ago.  Good place for bass and stipers too.

@Quillbackit was the biggest Kentucky I’ve ever caught. All the ones that were hitting the top looked larger than the normal ones I see. Striper boats were hovering in the vicinity of the buoy.
