I have the opportunity to visit Kentucky Lake in the Paris, TN area this weekend. It has been 20+ years since I have been fishing in this area--grandparents used to have a cabin there, so I fished it quite a bit in my childhood and teen years. But haven't been there for a looooooong time.

 

In general, if I only have a limited time to fish this weekend, what would you focus on? Bass? I assume a good number of them are spawning right now? Like most places where some will be on the beds, some still in prespawn in staging areas? Anything else I should fish for instead? Crappie? 

 

Thanks in advance if anyone has any info. I have tried to read fishing reports but I guess a lot of them aren't guiding right now because of Covid and so their reports don't seem to be as detailed as normal.

I would go bow fishing for Asian carp. Only problem is I can’t shoot straight haha

Best time of year for both bass and crappie. For bass, RES and the Alabama Rig

are the tickets right now. Crappie jigs on a slip bobber will produce a limit of crappie.

Thanks for the info. I'm apparently having a brain fart--what's RES?
