KY Lake...Gills...Smallies...Spots....Red Ear
 

An epic day at KY Lake. Over 70 big Gills...8-8.5 inch fish with a girth of 9 inches! Over 30 Smallies with the largest being 14 inches. About a dozen cookie cutter KY bass all about 11 inches. A couple of dozen Red Ears. The lure of choice...as always...a Trout Magnet. The colors were Bison and Purple Redemption. Had a fresh spool of SOS 2# test on and my drag was screaming all day! Life is good!

Now yer just showin off!! That is crazy awesome!

No not really. I left the good Smallie spot really wanting to find some good Gills. It was a long walk down to it but I have caught big Gills off that spot for several years...but they were not there yesterday...funny how they move in just twenty-four hours. I fished that bed until I had stuck over 70 Gills. That was it for the Gills..I didn't keep any fish. Funny thing Smallies were hanging around that bed. I would catch 5 or 6 Gills then a Smallie would hit. Never seen that before. Then just maybe 25 feet to the right of the Gill bed was a shell cracker bed. I was the only person down there today....except....there was a couple watching me from up top of the walkway. I knew they would come down after I left and clean the whole bed out. Well when no more Gills...or shell crackers would bite I moved. Here came the couple. They got in the same spot I was at and only fished maybe 45 minutes....they didn't catch a single fish. I had Sore Lipped'Em All....LOL. I called my buddy in Waynesboro and he and a friend will be there at that spot at daybreak...he loves to catch and release also. I'm telling you once a local finds that bed they will take every one of those fish out of there. I just hit everything just right today....life is very good.

man those shellcracker are cool, great job.

Alpha you are having way too much fun.

Have you or your son checked the bed up Gallatin way? ;)

I don't know Travis. But my other son bought my Coosa so I am sure they will tag team it now. That is a nice spot. With his new job he doesn't get to fish as much anymore.

I didn't know you had two sons up this way. They could have a ball there for sure.

The last time I got to go to KY lake and concentrate on bluegill, my dad, my brother and myself kept 168 bluegill and 22 shellcrackers, crickets. that is a great place to catch them for sure.

Livin' the dream

Wow man, that's incredible

Unbelievable colors on those fish Alpha congrats on a great outing

Thanks guys. There is a very short window at that spot and soon it will not only be too hot for fish in that water it will be too hot in those boulders for a human....LOL. I am hoping all the Gills have not been taken out of there and I will hit it again this week. Since I am bank bound until I get my boat I have a few spots that I hope will perform in the summer as they have in past years.
