This has started moving the crappie into the bays. Kentucky Lake crappie fishing seems to be the better. Most fish are being caught on shallow drops by casting jigs around wood. Some fish are also being caught on minnows in the flats about 14' deep. Both methods are producing some nice sized fish.
Largemouth fishing is spotty at best in both lakes.
Most are being caught on topwater baits and white spinner baits. The whitebass have moved to the ledges at the mouths of the bays. Most are being caught in Lake Barkley. Bluegill are excellent around the deep rocks and boat docks. Catfishing remains slow in the lakes and only fair in the tailwaters of both dams.
