Kentucky Lake trip.

Spent all of last week at Kentucky Lake. We caught bass every day with a few good ones. For some reason I can't access all the pictures. This is a few of the better fish. No really big fish this year. When it is windy, Kentucky Lake is not an easy place to fisH! Good trip though. Most of the better fish were caught on shakeyheads and finesse worms, with a few on Beavers. A few on crankbaits, traps and spinnerbaits. Nothing on chatterbait or A-rigs. 

Edit: I am the good looking young guy (in the Cablelas shirt).

Fishinfiend the boat owner is David, holding the smallie. He added the Talons this year. Fishing from a big heavy boat with brakes is a joy. I love fishing from a big performance boat, but the cost of ownership is too high for me. We burnt over $200 worth of gas and $65 of oil in  the boat, plus a tank and a half of diesel in the truck! If I lived on a big body of water like Kentucky I guess I would have to sell a kidney to be able to fish...Dave's boat does spoil me. I will have to be happy with my old tin boat for the smaller lakes I usually fish. :)

Glad you enjoyed the trip,

what were some of the colors that they favored in the soft plastics. Headed there around the same time this year and would like to maximize my time on the water.

Watermelon Red Trickworms and Smallie Beavers in California were my top producers. I'm not sure color matters much, but these are my go-to plastics. I am very confident with these baits.

EDIT: Welcome to the forum. Good to have you aboard!

 

Where did you put in at ? Kentucky lake is a big lake . By the way I thought the fish were better looking.

Skeeter if you mean the fish were better looking than me, I completely agree ?

 

We stayed at a lodge within a mile or two of the bridge at the Paris Landing. Most of the good fish were caught in Tennessee water, although we caught fish all over, including Barkley Lake.

looked like a fun day. hope your going back this april

Sad part is fuel and oil is not the bad part of owning a boat. I would hate to figure out what I have per pound in fish. LOL Told my wife one time that Crappie we had for dinner only cost us $400.
