Kentucky Lake 11-2-12

Lazy this morning. Left Franklin at 7:45 am. Stopped at the Cajun Corner in Waverly for a sausage biscuit and launched at Mason's dock in Richland Creek. The water is really, really low, barely a foot and half at the ramp. Headed across the creek to a spot I will call the "Hole". It's sort of a circle with several stake beds and a bunch of shad. My first catch of several was a skip jack over 14" long. They are wild fighters. Caught a nice 2.5 lb bass on a 1.0 Squarebill. Lost a couple of more bass and caught a couple more skippies. Made a run down to Nathan Bedford park and fished several grass patches and a flat with no success. Few more stops then back to the Hole. Took about a thousand casts but I did pick up a few more bass and ... Skippies. I wound up with 8 bass with 5 club keepers, 2 2.5's, 1 2.75, 1 1.25 & 1 1lb along with half a dozen Skipjacks.

Ran into Rob and saw him catch a 2 lb in the Hole. He said he had caught several out on the river including a 4 lber. He is preparing for a tournament on Saturday.

It wasn't a great day but was the best I have had in several past trips so it was most enjoyable.
