    Default Is Kentucky Lake currently 42°?


    I've been reading some different water temps and I'm trying to figure out if the lake is 42° or closer to 52°. I know with the warmer weather, the temps will quickly rise.

    I'm starting to catch a few nice keepers over here around Kuttawa. I haven't put the boat in yet, just been taking my son and throwing a black/chartreuse jig from the banks. It won't be long, if we can just get through this rain/flooding.

    Thanks! I added that page to my home page on my phone. At this rate, the spawn might be early this year!

    I would imagine there are still a lot of fish hanging out on main and secondary channel ledge brush piles. And the main creek channels closer to the mouths,maybe some on flats just adjacent to the creek and river channels.

    It always use to aggravate the heck out of me when I was ready to fish in a bay shallow and those blame fish just kept hanging on out in the wind and wake.

    I would plan vacations thinking I was late enough and nope...a few fish in but majority still out. Long time ago before the lakes aged so much the fish use to come in earlier and go further back in the creeks and bays. A lot would come in on just feeding sprees before they were even thinking about bedding.

    I remember when a lot of people would go in early March and catch them just bobber and cork and casting jigs way back in. They did not spider rig or troll or longline. Heck...my wife's Grandma use to come with her boys over for trips and catch quite a few and all she had was a cane pole.

    Late enough now any day may bring in a big batch. But I have seen them hangup out even up into April. Flood control lakes fish funny sometimes compared to natural or non flood control impoundments.
