Ken lake in October.

[scott c]

Coming over to Ken lake the middle of October. Wife and I rented a cabin around kenlake marina. What will bass fishing be like in October? Never fished kentucky lake at all. Just a fun getaway trip on hopes to catch a few bass. Any suggestions on where and how to run around the marina. Probably won't venture to far away from the area. Any suggestions on dinner option of the evenings?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

KYL will be at winter pool stay in buoys
good bay where you are a putting in to fish

October can be difficult in Kentucky. If it cools down, baitfish could be pulled back into the creeks. If it stays hot, they could still be close to the main lake, but still feeding on baitfish.

Stay in the buoy lanes and watch your depths when going into bays. Lots of good bays to fish close to Kenlake. Pattie’s is a great place to eat while you’re that close. Make a reservation. Several nice places in Murray to eat also. Should be a nice trip for you.

Check out the Apple, Keg in Murray, Fast Eddies has good food on 68 going toward Benton especially on Friday and Sat nights. If you want the best steak check out Adams Breezy Hill Farms Restaurant in Princeton.

What ever you do only run the main channel on the east side, out in the middle of Ky Lake is stumps, old foundations and islands.

Thanks for all the advice. It's just a fun getaway hopefully the weather is nice and get some good food in the evenings. Will just stay around the marina and nearby bays and bridge. A few bass would just be a bonus.

If you don’t have lakemaster, the secondary channels can get hairy if you don’t know the lake. Just because it’s a giant body of water doesn’t mean you can just go wherever. Some boat ramps get questionable but kenlake ramp is always safe.

Cindy's on the barge has a wonderful breakfast there at Ken Lake.

Agree with brotherjim, you could put in at ken lake and safely not leave that bay(Ledbetter) and catch fish. For what it's worth, if it's really windy, I wouldn't recommend leaving there and going north under the 68/80 bridge, it can get a little sketchy at times.

Drive up 68 to Draffenville and go here.

Patti's is good but stick with the 1" pork chop. Stays juicy since doesn't need as long to cook.

Also in Paducah is Stricklands and Freight house. Reservations needed for both too. I prefer Freight house but it's expensive.

We have had a good trip. Didn't catch many bass. But ate good. Ate the keg,Patti's and adams breezy hill restaurant. All was very good. Walked around hematite lake today, beautiful area. Really love the area down here it was my first time.

[TXSkeeterBells]

Good deal. Did you get the Patti's pork chop?

[scott c]

I got the pork chop, wife got the texas steak. The pork chop and adams breezy hill may of actually been better. Both great meals.

If you didnt get some home made ice cream at Adams Breezy Hill you missed out on some excellent ice cream, their steak is second to none for sure.
