KY Lake dink fest

[KJW83]

Fished everything today from Higgins Bay to Ginger Bay and only 3 dinks to show for it.....by the looks of the other 1000 boats on every point I wasn’t the only one struggling......where’s the biggins’ at?

[Outdoorsman76]

I'd probably look where the other 1000 boats ain't.

Lol good one.....I tried trust me......been awhile since I been down that way.....if it’s that bad on a Tuesday I can’t imagine what a weekend looks like

Warm weather brought em out. Saw 2 tournaments out of Ken lake today. Illinois and ohio. Couldn't even park so crowded.

Most of the good ones that moved up early have already been caught and moved this spring to KY Damn, Moors, Kenlake or Paris. The rest are about to move in and be caught and moved just the same. Then the only thing left will be 8-12" bass, which are too young to spawn.

BTW, If I was trying to damage the bass population to the maximum extent possible, what we are doing is perfect. When the bass population is super stressed (carp, lack of bait, weather, no grass), hammer down with as many tournaments as humanly possible!

We need to grow the sport.

Right. Lol. Lakes are getting so stupid crowded now it’s taking the fun out of it some.

All the 100lb Asian carp ate 'em all.......

Sam Lashlee posted he had 30 lbs today.

[BULLYFISH]

I had a great day yesterday

3 dinks in almost 5 hours is a dink fest in my eyes.....never got a solid bite......I’m happy for Sam lashlee.......with his knowledge of the lake and ability to go more than most people I’d hope 30lbs is a common thing

All lakes have cycles up and down. Just give it time and Mother Nature will work it out. If your thoughts about fish being taken to the Moore’s or Ken Lake we’re accurate, then the New Johnsonville area would be a barren wasteland by now, but it continues to kick out winning sacks every year. Now I’m not saying the fishing pressure isn’t a pain to deal with, but tournament bass fishing is not killing the lake.

It certainly isn't helping matters,50+mile transplants from different environments can't be a good thing???

Throwing a lit match into a burning forest fire definitely isn’t helping, but it probably isn’t making anything worse either.

Maybe we need a good recession, $5 gas, and tightening of terms on these crazy boat loans to clear the lake out ... only the strongest will survive!

$5 gas would do it and might be the only hope.
