3 months planning and a lot of hype leading up to the Good Friday fishing trip only to be ruined by mother nature. We left Thursday evening and stayed the night at Moors Resort and Marina. Same place we rented the boat from. They have a small lodge and some cabins to rent. Reasonable rates on the lodge; not sure about the cabins (never compared cabin rentals before). Here's there link. They are located on the west side of Kentucky Lake by Draffenville. No complaints about this establishment. Everything you need is there including a gas dock.

The fishing on Good Friday was awful. I caught one dink largemouth on a crankbait half it's size, one buddy caught a slightly bigger largemouth and another caught a dink wiper. The other guy did have a nice 4-5 lb channel on near the beginning but it bent his hook and slipped off (it was caught on a minnow). Those were the only fish we seen all day. No crappie. From the reports we were getting after we finished for the day it was slow for everyone. You really had to work for the fish. We can say we tried. We threw everything at them to no avail. I think we were a week (possibly 2 days) late for the fishing. On Thursday a good storm went through the area and that was most likely the culprit in shutting down the fish. It was cool and very windy on the lake yesterday. We ended up leaving 2 hours early and heading home. These are the only pics I took; just some scenic ones around the area.
