It was like being a one legged man in a butt kicking contest, we would go 15 minutes without a fish, then we would have 3 or 4 on at a time. a few crossed lines, didn't lose a single crankbait, only caught 3 dinks, couldn't believe that part. Average fish was about 13-14" couple 16"-17". Caught a pile of yellow bass when we strayed too shallow, caught 1 drum, caught 1 green carp, let him go.
Congrats on an awesome job. :cheers2
Great job.

I'm coming down to the great Kentucky lake Friday and leaving Tuesday . I have never been on the lake . Is there any bait shops that sell the pico crank baits I'm staying in aurora . If any body can help me where to fish or crank bait advice . I'm there by my self . My buddy is coming down Sunday to fish with me . Thanks again for any help.
Nobody at this time stocks the Pico's, but Bandits and Arkies and even Bombers are still very high on their diet! Trust me, I know first hand but I haven't been posting it![emoji33]Quote:

The arkies run a foot or so shallower than the bandit chart and the Pico's run a foot or so deeper

Start out with different colors in major color families and let the fish tell you what they want. A good starting point for a six rod spread would be to have six different lures where each one is primarily chartreuse, red, black, pink, orange and a shad-like imitation. Once you get dialed in on what they want to eat and notice a pattern, you can transition less-productive baits that aren't getting eaten to colors similar to what they're hitting on. So if I'm catching fish primarily on orange and chartreuse cranks on a particularity day and getting nada on the darker colors, I'm going to mix up my spread and run six variations of chartreuse and orange crankbait patterns. Conversely if that black or darker color lure is getting hit, I will transition to darker hues like variations of black, dark brown or red craw patterns, etc.Quote:

Depending on where you're staying at on the lake, I think that Fast Eddie's Bait & Tackle on US68 in Benton has one of the better selection of crankbaits in the area. PICOs are available by mail direct from the manufacturer and Mitch takes great care of his customers. There's an Academy in Paducah 30 minutes west of the lakes on I-24, exit 4 if you feel like you need to go to a larger sporting goods store. Welcome to town and best of luck to you out there.
Wow thanks Dutch never dreamed I would get this much help. Me and my grand daughter are leaving tonight we are staying at the early American motel aurora . Where would you guys put in at . Thanks everybody . I was coming by myself and found out and said I coming with you .ready to try this.
I would put in at Sportsmans on Jonathan Creek. Best cleaning station on the lake. $5 daily launch.

Nice mess of fish and thanks for sharing. Looking forward to being there in November
Wow. I see why you put that shade over yer boat. Catching 40 in 3 hours, need that shade when you're working that hard. That's awesome.
