LATE FALL FISHING RESUMES
Anglers have been slowly returning to Kentucky Lake as temperatures
moderated the last week or so after the lion’s share of November
delivered pretty frigid conditions coupled with high winds.
Both crappie and bass anglers have eased back into action lately with
some decent catches reported. And, it appears warmer temperatures will
descend as the weekend approaches. The forecast calls for temps in the
mid to upper 60’s on Sunday.
Lake levels this week haven’t fluctuated much as the reservoir is still
resting around its winter pool mark. Projections for the weekend will
see lake levels in the 354.9 range at Kentucky Dam. Upstream at New
Johnsonville TVA’s forecast show the reservoir will be in the 355.1
range.
Water color is a bit dingy after last weekend’s rain in some areas but
clear in the main lake. Surface temperatures are in the 48 to 50 degree
range and could warm a degree or two later this weekend.
Crappie show some improvement lately for anglers working stakebeds and
brushpiles in the 9 to 14 foot depth range. The fish should linger in
the midrange depths until cold weather returns and drops surface
temperatures.
Bass fishermen were able to get back out last weekend and this week as
southern winds brought slightly warmer weather. A few fish were taken by
anglers tossing jig and craw combos and slow moving shad colored
crankbaits on rock points and gravel bars.
No word yet from sauger fishermen but their time is close at hand.
