Kentucky Lake/Lake Barkely fishing report — KDFWR — 8-7-09

August 9, 2009 by admin 

Catfish – Main channel ledges and creek mouths, using minnows and cut bait fishing vertical and bouncing off of bottom.

White bass – Main channel ledges, bends in the river channel and adjacent flats, using a spoon or inline spinner bait.  With the current we have been having, use a heavier size up to one ounce.

Crappie – Larger embayments fish along the creek channel, using minnows fishing vertical.  Largemouth bass – Numerous sub-legal size bass chasing minnows up shallow in embayments, use spinner baits, long worms or jigs.

Smallmouth bass and Sauger – Gravel bars and rocky points near embayments on the LBL shoreline use worms, jigs and lizard type baits fishing at night.

The lake level is falling, so beware of shallow areas around the islands south of Blood River, and bars at mouths of some embayments.
