Another great turnout for the ABA Couples Series Kentucky Lake Division.   The weather was beautiful at times and horrendous at others.  A tornado actually touched down today and done extreme damage to one of our local marinas.   17 teams braved these conditions out of the Kuttawa Lyon County Ramp.  The fishing was tough, but we still managed to bring in 29 fish weighing in at 73.58 pounds.  The fish are still not totally committed to making their way to the ledges, making it difficult to get a great pattern.   All fish were released alive and well.  We paid out a total of $1,445.

It was one rough day on Kentucky Lake, June 3, 2018 for the ABA Couples Series.

Jay and Shari Holsapple Take Couples win on Kentucky Lake

It was one tough day on Kentucky Lake, May 20, 2018 for the ABA Couples Series. Seventeen very good teams worked hard to overcome the slow bite this day.  The water temperature was in the high 70s to low 80s.  The air temperature reached 90. The bass were in a cranky (no pun intended) mood.  They were in transition from the spawn to their summer pattern and the results were actually shocking.  This was not your typical late May bite for this great lake.  Of the seventeen boats, ten weighed in a total of only 14 bass for 45.01 pounds, all released alive and well to battle us another day.  We paid out four places for a total of $1,445, including big bass for both men and ladies.

Cory and Meagan York Take the win in Kentucky

ABA Couples Series on Kentucky Lake got off to a very cold start in 2018!  Sunday, April 8 the water temperature was in the mid-40s and the air temperature was in the upper 20s at launch and barely reached the 40s by weigh-in.  Fourteen teams braved these extreme fishing conditions with mixed results.  Not many fish were caught, but some high quality fish made it to the scales.  Eight of the fourteen teams brought in only 14 total fish for a total weight of 53.79 pounds, all being released alive and well to do battle another day.

Cory and Meagan York mastered the conditions, the lake and the field with a runaway victory.  They had the only 5 bass limit weighing 19.76 pounds.  Their catch was anchored by a 6.42 largemouth.  The Yorks only had 7 bites all day fishing swimbaits and rattletraps primarily on main lake points.  Cory and Meagan took home a well-earned $550 for their day’s work.
