Mike Eakle caught some good ones this morning.
The lake level is 563.57 and has dropped 2-inches in the last 24-hours. It is a good thing we have been dry. The weather continues to be hot with tomorrow being a little cooler and then hot again Monday. There are a few things changing. First there is a mud line forming at about 20-feet until about 27-feet with poor visibility. The visibility is still good to 20-feet and then again at 30-feet. This always happens but is a little slower this year. The thermocline starts at 25-feet and is cold at 30. Many fish are in the mud line making them difficult to get diving. I have no idea when the lake will turn but am guessing October 15th. This does not kill the fishing but makes it more difficult because the fish have no reason to be in any particulae place except for cover and food. Some times the turn is fast and other times gradual. 1/4 ounce spoons around main lake points touching the bottom in the mud line is the best bait now. Kentucky Bass, crappie and walleye are all there. Blackburns has cabins for $59/day and all have covered porches, no duplexes and your first regular sized boat stall is free as are trolling motors on pontoons. Come on down. We will not charge you too much and the big pool is open. Summer continues.
