That is not to say that you can t catch a few. Usually about this time of year, the pea rock points are loaded with fish, but that hasn t been the case this year. The few smallies being found are on chunk rock channel swings in the creeks, the end of bluff walls on the main lake and in the deep brush piles in deep coves. Best baits have been Gene Larew worms, finesse worms and baby brush hogs. Mojo rigs with 4 feet of 6-pound leader create more bites because the smallies are suspended a few feet off the bottom.
Kentucky bass are deep deep deep, sitting in the middle of cuts, coves and creeks.
They are schooled up, but with a little graphing you can find them. Gene Larew strawberry gold flake and black neon worms are working the best on chunk rock banks and brush piles. Tube baits will work on elongated points as the bass move up later throughout the night to forage for crawdads. Walleye have moved during the daylight hours and are now feeding at night and in the mornings. Crawler harnesses and deep diving plugs such as Bill Norman s DD22 s or Reef Runners are working around creek entrances.
