KY Lake 5/12/2014
Headed back to get into the Gills if they were still around. I was afraid someone had probably gotten to them over the weekend and cleaned out the whole lot of them. Well 40 of them were still there but that was it. So I just crawled over the rocks at a spot that has always held them before and no one ever fishes because it is in the current, and I think most folks don't think any Gills would be there bedding. There is a hump out from the bank and then it drops off to deep water. They were just on the deep side drop off of the hump. I picked up 111 more along with two Smallies...11 and 12 inches.....and one female cross between Gill and a shell cracker...mostly Gill but had the fight of a shell cracker and the body colors except no red on the ear. I seem to always get a few of these each year now. Had a great time and will just have to keep hitting KY Lake until the water becomes too hot in that area and they leave. These Gills are just too much fun and with their size I am just going to wear them out as long as I can. All fish were caught on 2# SOS line using a Bison and Purple Redemption Trout Magnet twitching. I was using the new Panfish Hook today with the longer shaft...it works really well. Kayak trailer parts came in today so will probably take a day or two break to get those installed.....if I can stand to not fish that long....LOL. Life is good!
