FIRST KY LAKE TRIP OF 2012

Fished Kentucky Lake today with my good friend Zach Parker.  Beautiful day to fish with light winds, clear skies and a high of 55 degrees. The lake was 46-48 degrees and a foot above winter pool. The water was a little stained with about 1ft of visibility.  I havn't been on the lake since early December but have heard good reports about Alabama Rig fishing.  The A-rig wasn't as impressive as I was hoping but we did catch over 75 fish with 50+ keepers mostly on jerkbaits and football jigs.  We never caught any giants but our best 5 weighed 4.38, 4.71, 4.92, 5.0 and 5.02 for a total of 24.03lbs.  We had a blast and caught a lot of fish but 3 of our biggest fish and 43 of our total fish came off of one place, so if it hadn't been for that school, we wouldn't have had nearly as good of weight or numbers.  My new Mercury 250 Pro XS came in yesterday so I should be rigged and ready to head to Guntersville next week!
