The lake temperature is up to 50 degrees throughout the main lake and 46 to 48 degrees in the creek arms. Lake level stayed about the same this week with low generation at 641.30. Largemouth Bass are on the banks foraging for food around brush piles, blow downs, watersheds and floating docks. Some fish are being caught in 2 to 5 feet of water, if you can believe that, on Spider jigs, tube baits, red crank baits and red or chartreuse and white spinnerbaits. The deeper largemouth are very sluggish but the few that are biting are hitting silver spoons, football jigs and green pumpkin finesse worms.
Smallmouth bass are nowhere to be found.
They were at the entrances of the creek arms and on the deep elongated pea rock main lake points, but at this time you can't even graph any fish in these areas. We'll bring you up to date next week. Kentuckys have started their spring movement slowly towards the back of the creeks. Spoons are still your best lure for the schooling fish on the channel swing ends and in the middle of the pockets. Male fish are moving into the shallows on chunk rock banks.
