Thread: Blood River This Weekend

Anyone been catching anything in Blood River or KY Lake. I see the temperature is going to be upper 50's on Saturday but pretty warm Sunday. Hoping for a productive weekend.

I fished Eddy Creek on tuesday- kept 15. Best size was in 12-15' water 6' deep on red with chartreuse tails. Water probably had 1-2' down visibility- surface temp was 52-53 degrees. Best fish 14".

Good Luck

I fished Blood River Monday and Tuesday, tough on Monday. Only had 2 keepers in 3hrs but caught probably about 15 8-9" fish. Tuesday was better, cleaned 14. All keepers except one were caught in 8-12 ft of water fishing 5-7 ft deep on Blue/White Southern Pro Scaleheads and Minnow tubes. Water was up to 57 at noon when I left, but I'm sure cooled back off that night. Most fish were caught in/around one brush pile in 8ft of water on the side of a drop from 5ft to 10 ft. Did catch a few on yellow/chart also. Hope you wear them out this weekend, unless I burn vacation I gotta work six 12's in a row starting tomorrow.

Fished Blood last Thursday and Friday.Snow and cold NE wind and still caught a few in less than 10 ft of water on thursday.Fished Friday but the majority of the fish came from 15 to 20 ft.Had about 20 keepers a day.We fished from Irvin Cobb out to the mouth but several boats up toward wildcat.I would say if you're going to longline you can wear the blacks out up above wildcat.Just got back fron T-ville today and caught a limit of blacks, most in less than 6 ft of water.Don't catch them all because I'm going back on the 29th for a week.

I went last Sunday, I fished Tenn. area til noon then moved to Blood River. I caught five nice crappie with the biggest being 14". I was long line trolling, I fished there about 3 hours or less. Let us know how you do Jigboy because I am wanting to get back down there. Good luck.

I will let you guys know how we do. I am hoping I can stay almost all day Sunday but I may only get to fish until 1:00 because my daughter has a double header. I will be long line trolling and I always go out of Irvin Cobbs Marina. I figure if the temperature is less then 60 I will be heading to the left towards the mouth. I am hoping they have made the turn onto the big flat to the right towards Wildcat. I have had tons of luck in that area. Thanks for the info.

I'll be out there sometime on Saturday. On Sunday, Fishtale and I caught only a few crappie and several bass. I hope the temps have the crappie in a better mood. It turned a little cooler today so I expect another front is moving through. We'll see what happens.

I'll be in a SeaArk with my wife and my two sons. I will be long line trolling.

I'll be in a Red TR20 Triton w/ a Merc 225 EFI fishing out of Irvin Cobb mid day Sat. and Sunday....may have my wife, dad, and daughter w/ me or any combo of the above. Hopefully we will luck into a couple and see you on the water.

We went out Friday after work for about 2 1/2 hours. Caught several fish, a bunch of smaller ones, but ended up keeping 11. Gonna hit it again today about mid-day. We'll be in a gray Tracker PT175 with a 50 hp Merc.
