Fishing Report for Kentucky lake and duck river
Shell cracker (Red-eared sunfish) action has been picking up, a cold front which dropped water temps has slowed the bite up. Most fish have been taken in 2-5 foot of water in backs of bays around grass, limits are 20/person/day
Crappie– fish remain hard to find, most are being taken by ‘spider rigging or trolling’ seems covering a lot of water is the key as crappie seem to always be on move
Bass– Bass still seem to be avaiding fishermen, a few good catches are coming from fish moving off bed, with a few coming off river Islands with grass, a few fishermen have found some better size fish off the summer pattern of fishing ledges, but haveing to fish a lot of ledges to find the fish
Catfish– smaller catfish are being taken in numbers around shallow rocks on nightcrawlers, many of the larger fish have been eluding fishermen here on Kentucky lake as well as the duck river, Blue cats have entered into their spawning activites making them difficlult to find
