For the rockfish guys
We fished from Bluegrass area down to the dam yesterday evening up until 10:00. We saw and heard plenty of boils and blow ups all along the main channel. Plenty of bait and plenty of rockfish out there. We were fishing some of our ledge and hump spots along the channel for bass and while doing so I hooked what i'm assuming was a big rockfish on a bass jig. When i set the hook there was no turning him around, and it was swimming away to fast to be a big catfish. I've caught some big rockfish before on jigs down below the dam while smallmouth fishing but this is a first up on the lake. There is that distinctive sound that rockfish make when they are hitting on top that many of you rockfishermen may know.
The main section of activity was in the section of river between the flat in front of Bluegrass down to the mouth of Drakes Creek.
