It's hard to believe but the 2nd month of 2010 has come and gone already. One of the occurrences that comes with getting older is that time travels faster and faster.

This month has been really good with the exception of the those days that were really cold or really windy. Just as things were progressing nicely with pre-spawn activity, along came another blast of icy air and gusts of heavy wind from our northern neighbors to cause a hold on the entire process. Presently the wind is howling and the temperature before wind chill stands at 39 degrees. That's not so bad if your standing in Minnesota, but it's frigid here in the what is supposed to be the sunny south.

However even with the cold conditions and the wind we have still caught some decent fish.

This gal came on an exceptionally cold day when the catching was tough.

As the weather improved so did the catching. The bass were in a definite pattern of moving south for pre-spawn activity and numbers jumped from the 20's per trip to the 50+ per trip.

With predictability we were finding numbers and size in the south end of Farm 13 with steady catching with the placement of bait next to wood.

In the mix of a 53 fish day was some pretty decent sixe gals such as the one above and the one below.

Most of the fish came on Swimming Senkos in dark colors. The 53 bass came between the hours of 7:30 and 12:30 and then the wind came up pushing us out of the wood.

My last trip out there started at 7:00 and ended at 9:00 due to a big thunderstorm that rolled in. We don't stay out when lightening is in the area. We had already put 20 bass in the boat and were not happy campers to leave, but safety is first.

Overall, the biggest producing bait was Senkos and Swimming Senkos. Crankbaits were out because of the heavy wood. We did try topwater with no results and spinner baits didn't produce either.

March promises to be a very strong month if this lousy weather will get out of here. Although the fish have been pushed off the spawning areas by rapidly decreasing water temperatures they will move back in as quickly as temperatures rise.

I have had several e-mail inquiries about the lake. Water levels are high and the fishing is great if you look in the right places. Not much different that other lakes I would say.

See you out there. Say hi if you get a chance.

Nice fish George.

Nice fish George!

I can't wait to feel that tug on the end of the line. Surface temp on Ky Lake is hanging around 40.

Air temp of 46 today. Might be time to put on the under armour and give the ole jerk bait a try. 5 months off the water is about to get the best of me.

Thanks for the post!!!

Great catches there!

Man!really nice fish George.
