if you dont get a few good fish early, your gonna hate kent. i fish it often and i struggle in the summer months. i was out last night with my tournament director pre fishing for a tourney we are having out there this sunday with the ABA and we only got one keeper between 3 of us. and that was after fishing for 4 hours.
it is a tough lake in the summer. the fish are never on the same pattern they were the day before.
i would suggest using many different baits and fishing as much water as you can. there are many areas in the lake that wont look like they would hold quality fish, but these are the areas that usually do.
try to fish as much of the lake as time will allow this weekend. get to know a few areas. if you find fish, work those areas hard and PAY ATTETION!!!!
i wish you all the luck in the world, your gonna need it. im gonna need it. tough lake, but thats what keeps me coming back
