Fishing report for 3/28/2023. Cooler air, windier than yesterday. Tried a bunch of small coves off the main lake, the biggest one was the best. Water seemed warmer and saw bait moving. Found a bait stuck in a bush about 3 feet above water level and tried it out. It was a zara baby spook and caught my one fish of the day on it! The small deeper bays off the main lake were still too cold it seemed.

Fishing report for 3/27/2023. Was mostly sunny, high of about 57, breezy. Fishing from shore on a camping trip. Fish caught were from shore at Hillman Ferry Campground. Caught 5 fish in the 1 to 1.75lb range on a gravely point. Seemed to be feeding up as they were pretty fat for their size. Saw bait and fish busting the surface the evening before when it was glassy calm. Seaguar Red Label did the trick despite getting hung and frayed a couple times. Overall fished about 1.5 hous for my first Kentucky fish ever! Sweetness!

I spent most of the weekend fishing a DT6 on a small bridge. It had deep water access but was also a pinch point between the main lake and spawning flats.

Some prespawners are pulling up into the shallow staging areas and it seems like on overcast, windy days, covering water with a big bait is producing some better than average bites. There’s a lot of fish to be caught on the main lake but if you want to beat the bank, this seems to be a consistent way to get into a few of those big largemouth that are still out in the lake.

The lake was tough but I just pitched a jig in any man made brush pile I could find
