Ky Lake at New Johnsonville 8-23-2010

My summer fishing has been pretty much a bust. I blame it on the intense heat, fronts, winds, floods and global warming. Went to Ky. Lake Monday with friend Earl. On the lake around 6 am. First stop north of ramp usually has some action. We got nothing. Motored to the next creek and fished grassy areas with no results. We actually spoke to a fishermen at MacDonald's in Buffalo that had fished on Saturday. He said they caught a lot of fish but not many keepers and caught them in the grass. That's why we worked in the creeks. Didn't see any schooling but I did see a lot of shad. I might mention there was a small front that passed through Sun. night and left us with high blue sky and a north wind 5-10. (That's my excuse).

We moved to the next creek north and fished grass with no results. We then moved out to the ledge and threw deep cranks and c-rigs. No results. We then ran south to the grassy areas at the entrance to Birdsong creeks. I finally caught 2 bass, 1 a 2 pounder, the other about a pound. Earl caught 3 including a couple of 1.5 pounders. Caught all on blackberry speed worm. I broke off 2 fish but not sure whether they were good ones or just bad line. Suspect bad line.

I believe we could have more success on the ledges but I honestly don't have any spots located other than the one place we tried. And the wind made it tough to stay on the spots. I just need more ledge spots. Any coordinates offered out there?

Even though it began to get hot around noon, it was pretty pleasant with the breeze. We pulled out about 2 pm and stopped at the truck stop in Buffalo to get an ice cream bar (Cherry Garcia). Until another day.
