FISH REPORT FOR
KENTUCKY & BARKLEY LAKES

MAY 1, 2008 - The largemouth are still hitting best. Most are being caught on small crankbaits fished along the gravel shorelines and first buckbrush. Some larger ones have been caught a little farther out from shore and the very shallow cover. Crappie are still being caught on 4' to 6' of water with both minnows and jigs fished under bobbers. Some good catches are being reported but they seems to be few of them. The tailwaters are back to normal and blue cats and stripes should hit good again. Bluegill and redear are being caught on red worms in 3' to 4' of water but they are still scattered. Channel cats are hitting well on leeches and shrimp in 20' to 22'. The lakes are 6" below summer pool and the water temp is 66 degrees.
