FISHING REPORT by
The Big Kahuna
Hey everyone hope all is well after a great Labor Day
weekend. The lake is on the way down for the winter
and the water temp is also going down each day as
well. The fishing has been on and off for us the last
2 weeks but as a whole not bad just have to move and
try lots of spots and sometimes change what you are
fishing for as I have done the last several trips out.
I am still going after the white bass for a least part
of the morning and watching for any sign of jumps out
on the flats. Some days we have caught well but
have to be ready to move to them. They go down
fast.
I am casting inline spinners in white and lime green
just off the flats and creeks with most of the water
being 15 to 20 feet deep off the breaks. I am
also jig spooning in a little deeper water and on some
days that has worked well.
On one trip last week we started for whites with no
luck. We caught 1 yellow in 1 hour so I asked
Mr. Paul and Paul, JR if they would like to try for
some gills. That was fine with them, so here we
go. I hit three good spots and caught 0. The
wind had really kicked up and I was in Barkley lake
and just found a spot out of most of the wind that I
had fished long ago and there they were. The fish were
not all big, but 1 out of 4 where nice keepers with 3
nice redear in the bag. We were fishing in 15 to
20 feet of water with slip-bobbers set at 4 feet.
Made for a great morning.
I have not been crappie fishing yet, but with the
water temps coming down we will be after them soon.
Bass fishing is still good with lots of small fish out
on the ledges. Some of the bigger fish are
starting to make a move to shallow water to feed up on
shad. Try small crankbaits and spinners off points and
big rock banks.
The last 3 trips this week I have been catfishing and
it was all good. We caught several fish in the 1
to 2 pound range with the biggest one being 19 pounds
and a few in the 4 to 7 pound range. I have been using
night crawlers fished in 30 to 40 feet of water just
off of main lake ledges. These small cats will
run the line up so just wait for the rod tip to go
down just a little and then you got him.
The water in the lakes are clear and they look just
great, the weather has cooled down and will be doing
so from now on. Just load up the car and spend a few
days at Moors Resort and just enjoy all our lakes and
area has to offer.
GOOD FISHING
