Members pstone Posted October 23 Members Share Posted October 23 Went out yesterday morning and put in at Cape Fair. Found tons of shad, mostly near the surface and bass were under them and feeding. I followed the shad balls on my livescope and threw a 2.8 swimbait and caught 8 or 9. 2 or 3 keepers, 1 largemouth and the rest kentuckies. I was outside a cove near Wooley Creek in 50-60 feet of water for the most part. Water temp was 66 degrees. The wind came up pretty stout and I tried spinnerbait and rock crawler on the banks but had no luck. I also caught 1 on a pee wee football jig in about 15 feet. Should start getting good here soon as the water temps go down some more. I did try topwater (walking bait) a little bit but no bites. Good luck everyone! dpitt, Terrierman, cheesemaster and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lake is so low the lay downs I like to hit are high and dry. That's the challenge with low water in the fall ... it eliminates a lot of good cover but it also concentrates the fish. It's all worth the bother, though, when you find that school of crank bait fish in a creek channel bend or on a corresponding flat and just wreck the heck out of em. cheesemaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
