September 8, 2010 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 THE BIG KAHUNA DON SCHNUCK
