I know this is for KY lakes but I hit Patoka this morning and thought you guys might like to know how the bite was.
Started at sunrise and fished until around 10:30 when a front blew in hard. The winds got very strong and there was a cold mist of rain after the temp dropped. Did not have a bite after the front moved in, but prior to the front I got seven bass with one 3 lber and two 2 lbers. One was on a buzzbait and the rest were on a roadkill camo tube. My fish came on primary and secondary points in 10-12' of water. I kept the boat in 17-18' and every fish bit when my tube was about 1/2 way back to the boat. Shad were schooling up in a couple of the creeks I ventured into and occasionally the schools were getting busted on topwater. There were a bunch of guys up there pre-fishing for a Redman Tourney. Talked with a couple of guys pulling out at the ramp and they said the morning was pretty slow for them with only a few dinks, so I felt pretty good about my morning even if I did get blown off the lake.

p.s. Might be going to Dale tomorrow for a little fishing with my wife. Will report back if I get down there.
