Been a jacked up late winter/early spring for me so this week I just fished for the first time this year. I went to KY Lake twice this week (Tue & Thurs). Tue was cloudy, misty and cold until about 2pm. I caught a few fish but nothing to write home about, the fish are just beginning to "test the shallows" and wanting up.
Thurs was much better, after 2 days of bright, warm sun they really turned on and are solidly beginning to pull up for the spring now!
Our best 5 would've been appx 15#s including this ol chunk my partner caught on a spinnerbait. I had made 3-4 casts before in the EXACT spot with a Rapala DT Flat3 square bill crankbait with nothing! Then my bud throws his spinnerbait in there and WHAMMO this ol girl smashed it!
The TN River will only get better over the next month+ now.
