Fishing Report 2025

Hit up the small lake near my place in central Kentucky yesterday. Targeted some bass and brought a few different lures, including a trusty soft plastic worm and a couple of crankbaits. Weather was nice, clear skies but a bit windy, which made casting tricky at times.

Got on the water around 7 AM and started off strong, landing a couple of decent 2-3 pounders right off the bat. But then it slowed down. I missed a few bites — could've swore one of those fish was a solid hit, but nah, just a tease I guess. Spent most of the day working the edges of the brush and we got a few more right before packing it up around noon.

Overall, it was a fun day out, and even managed to avoid losing too many lures this time! How’s the fishing for everyone else? Would love to hear what’s biting in your neck of the woods.

Down here in Oklahoma, the bass have been a bit tricky lately. Early mornings have been great for fishing with topwater frogs by the lily pads but once the sun starts to climb, it's all about finesse haha. I've been switching to Ned rigs and drop shots around the submerged timber, and that's where the action's really happening. The crappie are working their way back into shallower waters. A friend of mine is absolutely convinced that chartreuse jigs are the best rn.

I'm really glad to hear you didn't lose too many lures. That's already a win. Those random strikes can be such a mystery. Sometimes it feels like the fish are just playing games with us
