This lake is full of good largemouth bass!  But, it also spotted and smallmouth bass species and on this day we caught all three.  I really wanted to figure out the ledge fishing bite and got a great experience with what it takes to get these Kentucky lake largemouth ledge bass to bite.  I&#8217;ve never seen a lake where the bass with feed so heavily in an instant, and then just as quickly shut down.  We ended up catching a few good bass off of each ledge spot and moving around to a few others.  In all we probably graphed over 20 spots to finally find a few that actually held bass.  Make sure to watch the following day to see the other shallow bite as well.  There were not as many big bass up shallow, but there were plenty of good ones.<\/p>\n<p>GEAR Set-Ups<br \/>\nStrike King 6XD<br \/>\nShimano Zodias Cranking 7&#8217;6&#8243; Medium Heavy\/6:3:1 Shimano Citiaca\/ 12lb Sunline Fluorocarbon<\/p>\n<p>1OZ Jig Headed Swimbait<br \/>\nG Loomis NRX 853 JWR\/ 8:5:1 Shimano Metanium\/ 20lb Sunline Fluorocarbon<\/p>\n<p>3\/4 Football Jig<br \/>\nShimano Zodias 7&#8217;6&#8243; Heavy\/ Shimano Curado 200HG\/ 20lb Sunline FluoroCarbon<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 OZ Shakey Head<br \/>\nG Loomis NXR 873 CRR\/ Shimano Chronarch Ci4\/ 15lb Sunline Fluorocarbon<\/p>\n<p>SUBSCRIBE if you like watching!<br \/>\nHave questions or want to see more?&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>SNAPCHAT &#8211; LakeForkGuy<br \/>\nPERISCOPE &#8211; LakeForkGuy<br \/>\nTWITTER www.twitter.com\/lakeforkguy<br \/>\nINSTAGRAM www.instagram.com\/lakeforkguy<br \/>\nFACEBOOK <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lakeforkguy\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/lakeforkguy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH DAY 2 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UuW_X2xSSJo I hit Kentucky Lake with my friend Drew for a few days for some offshore structure fishing and shallow bush flipping.
