Where the Crappie have you been

I'd say that it would depend on where on Ky Lake that you intended to fish. But, overall it's pretty much a crapshoot, since the weather dictates what the fish will be doing, wherever they are. I always opted to start my week on the 3rd weekend of April, back when I used to go there ... but, I was mainly fishing the dam ends of either lake, and concentrating on shallow wood & buck brush for White Crappie. With the increase in population % density of Black Crappie, it might not matter which weekend you choose, as the spawns of both species can run back to back or concurrent ... given proper water temps, weather, and water levels.

Hopefully, some of the more recently experienced members will offer their thoughts, as well.

ed,
Right now, the blacks are heading to the bank. I've been catching them in 4 and 5 foot of water. Like Pappy said, the weather and lake level will determine what happens from here. Just come on down and lay in there no matter what. You can't catch them sittin' on the couch.

Weather looks to turn for the worse after this coming week. Snow is mentioned in the forecast for the 29th I have reservations the 28th through 2nd, so I'll be there, but I'm bummed about the weather turning.

When they can reliably tell me what it is going to be doing 24 hours from now, I will think about believing what they put up as a forecast 10 days in advance.

I think any time is good if you get a chance to fish Ky Lake.
Like everyone says can't predict the weather.

The fish are hiting good right now. If I only had 1 week to fish I'd fish on the 1st week
Before they go messing with the water level & the crowd show up. The spawn will for the most part be over by week 3

fishing is as good as it gets right now. if it stays warm it'll be over before you know it

Better get here quick. Kept 20 in 5' this morning.
