Ky Lake at New Johnsonville

We had an interesting day on Ky Lake. Heavy fog, on lake at 7:30am. GPSed to a point downlake. Caught 4 smallies up to 2 lbs and a nearly 8 lb Hybrid pictured caught by my fishing partner Doyal Brown in about 15 minutes. Then they left. We fished on back in some creeks with moderate success. Nothing big, maybe 2 lbs mostly largemouths with 2-3 Kentuckies mixed in. We caught our fish mostly on Red Eye shad, spinner baits, Zell Pops but Doyal killed me on a white chatterbait. I left mine at home and was too hardheaded to accept his offer to borrow one. He also caught a 3-4 lb pickerel. The water was down about 18 inches from last week and seemed to move the bass and bait fish back out of shallow water. Great day to be on the water.

Final count: Doyal 16, Bill 8.
