The fish appear to be transitioning from creeks to bigger water. With that in mind, I started running parallel with the shallower channel ledges (+/- 20’ of depth) near creek mouths. The water was very stained and when I switched to the albino trailer, I landed 3 keepers in about 15 minutes. Kentucky Lake bass love scrounger heads!
