Lake of Epypt, 06/25/10
My team partner, Joel and I decided today we would go to Lake of Egypt and fish around for a little fun and see what is goin on. We started out the morning putting out a little brushpile and goin to deep water. The water temp today was upper 80's to low 90's (bath water). bright skies and light wind. We were able to catch approximately 10 fish over the 16 inch slot limit. I caught my fish today on a Powell 766 rod and 1/2 oz Slong's Fishing Lures footbal jig, a 10in worm on a Powell 764 rod, and crankbaits on a Powell 754 glass &703 glass rods.
Kentucky Lake June 10-13,2010
Joel and I went down to KY to practice for a Lyon County Christmas for Kids tourney and the make -up BFL on the 17th of June. We put in at Paris Landing and fished south towards New Johnsonville area. After finding a few new locations and checking some previous ones, we felt like we could probably catch a decent sack of fish down in this area.
On the 18th, we put in and stayed north of the 68 bridge and really didn't have much luck up here. So we called it a day kinda of early and stopped by the best Cheeseburger stand around Belew's Drive-in in Aurora, KY.
June19th, We launched at approx 5:20 am for the tournament and after a hour run, we stopped on our first spot for 0 keepers. Moved to our second area and caught around 12lbs of fish. With hopes of culling up in weight we decided to move back towards the north and see what would happen. We were able to cull up to 15lb 4oz, but that wasn't enough to get a "sniff " at a check or the win.
June 20th, was the make-up BFL from May that was canceled due to high water. I drew Mike McAtee, a boater from KY. We started fishing on Ky lake where my boater partner caught 4 keepers and I boated 1 keeper. Then we moved to Barkley Lake. The first stop on Barkley my partner finished out his limit. He had 14lb 6oz for the tourney, was unable to cull any the rest of the day. Our 2nd stop I was able to put to more keepers in the boat. I had also caught several short fish here. The 3rd stop I was able to put my 4th keeper in the boat and saw my limit fish follow my worm to the boat. I had 8lb 2oz for the tourney. We did stop a couple more spots on our way back to out 1:30 pm check-in time, but only caught short fish. I put these for fish in the boat on a 11in worm using a Powell 764 rod and a Slong's Fishing Lures 3/4 oz football jig on a Powell 766 rod. Next BFL is not till September. Be sure and check back going to do a little fun and club fishing this summer, including some night fishing.

Been on vacation lets catch up...
June 7th, went to Cedar Lake for about 7 hours not a bad day caught 2 keepers that went a total weight of 9 lbs 11oz.. Caught a couple of shortie fish and lost another about 4lbs.
June 8th, went to Little Grassey Lake, took my Dad with me. Only got to fish about 3 hours because of the lightning. Did manage to catch 2 keepers and a couple of short fish. Also lost a good fish on a crankbait here too.
June 9th & 10th, Joel and I went to Kentucky Lake to do a little fishing and to check out some of the BASS Elite Series Pros. The Elite Series was going out of Paris Landing. Got to see a little action from Tim Horton, Edwin Evers and Kelly Jordan plus some others. Did manage to find a couple new spots and catch some fish both days on the ledges.
June 12th, I fish a little club tourney on Cedar Lake, where I finished 4th with a total of 195pts. These fish were caught on a Spro Poppin Frog and a Rapala DT14 crankbait.I did take my wife down to Paris Landing for the final weigh-in of the BASS tourney. That was a great tourney and the amount of 20lb plus bags that were weighed in was crazy. But I guess that is why they do it for a living.
Check back next week, Joel and I have a Lyon County Ky Charity Bass Team event and a make-up BFL this next weekend .

June 5, 2010 BFL
Another bad luck day for me this year. Will it ever get better for me in the BFL. I drew a good partner, Mike Cox, boat # 137 out of 144 and was ready to fish ledges all day, with high hopes of catching a limit. We stopped on the first spot just south of the 68 bridge and caught a few short fish. We then left there and went down south of Paris, TN to our second spot. When my partner put his trolling motor down the cable broke inside the head of the motor. He did go to Paris marina to try to fix it and buy a anchor. Mike worked hard to try and hold on his spots so we could both try and catch some fish. But, no luck for both of us. It was very hard to hold on ledges fighting wind and boat traffic. So, now, I really have to get with it. With some good draws I can still make the Regional.
