This evening on Kentucky lake was a blast. Decided to stop and fish on the bank for awhile along riprap this evening using the new urchin bait. Seen a lot of hype about these urchin baits and I can tell you one thing I'm a firm believer in them now. Get y'all some of these highly recommended! Rigged the randamu ox blood 19mm with the baitlocks system with only 1/8 oz weight and a 4/0 VMC flipping hook. Cast it out and let it sink for a few seconds and start jerking it like you would a jerkbait. Jerk jerk pause and the fish unleashed on these urchin baits. I caught smallies and large mouths one after another within half hour. These baits are a must have. The baitlock system works great with a really good hook up ratio. Good luck and have fun

Great day for fishing on Kentucky lake. Fishing transition areas near some ledges where bass are moving to. Starting the summer transition. Some bass still shallow near standing trees and stumps. Used a strike king sexy dawg hard knock in the natural shad color. Cast near the structure and walk the bait 5 feet and pause 5 feet more and pause and watch them explode on it when you pause the bait.

Water temps around 77 degrees. Fished near rip rap at kenlake marina wall with strike king buzz minnow which is basically a whopper plopper. Retrieve at medium to fast speed landed a couple largemouths and one smallie. Get out there and try some topwater baits. It's at the right time with water levels over summer pool where water has reached bushes and vegetation.
