The lake is fishtrap lake in Eastern Ky, the shad are heavy right now, but they are not gorging on them yet. So they havent completely gone to fall patterns. Hope this help narrow down the tips given. ( this lake is primarly know for bluegill, and shad. Many creek channels and big open places of water. Also plenty of structure near the banks.

So im pretty familiar with the fall transition and fall bass fishing, but i wanna know what your guys take is on how the fish are right now. I wanna do well this weekend, but i need some confidence boosters knowing that what im throwing is gonna be the right bait. I guess my question is, is what baits would you all be throwing right now, because they havent completely gone to fall haunts yet, but they are starting to transition to them, so im not quite sure what baits to use. The kicker is that they are calling for a possible thunderstorm, or just rain. So what would be my best bet to put fish in the boat. Any tips would help! Thanks!

Alright so this is going to be a long topic, but i really need some insight. I fish 4 abu garcia rod and reel baitcast combos, 1 quatum accurist pt baitcaster, on a duckett, and a daiwa megaforce baitcast combo. Now my question is, is i am trying to see what baits i should be using on these rods to maximize my potential with the rods. My rods are these 1. Abu Garcia ProMax Baitcaster 7:1:1 gear ratio, on a 7'0 ProMax rod 2. Abu Garcia SilverMax baitcaster, 6:4:1 gear ratio, on a medium action 6'6 SilverMax rod 3. Daiwa Megaforce baitcaster, 7:3 gear ratio, on a 6'6 daiwa medium heavy rod 4. Quantum accurist pt baitcaster, 6:4:1 gear ratio, on a duckett micro magic 7'0 5. Abu garcia cardinal z30 spinning combo, medium action 6'6 I need to know your alls opinions on what i should be using, because i would like to know what i could possibly be using on the rods that i dont already. Thanks for all info given!
