🤯 I can't believe places like this exist...

Yes, Joffres is beautiful, but BC is home to so many more of those Gatorade blue waterways.

💦Don't forget to follow homestretchwanders for all your BC gems, and let's dive into these spots (you're welcome for the pun) 

Most people drive right by it, but this turquoise gem is beyond words beautiful. A provincial park that fills up fast Kentucky Alleyne has two lakes in one and the calmest vibes. 

It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to stay at way longer than planned. We did. 

If you're lucky, you'll discover a 3rd hidden gem nearby, too. 

SAVE for the next hot summer day! 

What's your favorite BC gem?

🔥 Top Baits - Kentucky Lake 🔥

I mainly targeted spawning smallmouth offshore during the mlfbig5official Toyota Series Event on Kentucky Lake. Biggest keys to success were my humminbirdfishing Electronics (360 and Landscape ML2) during practice and during my "Scope Periods." However, I did weigh 11 of my 15 bass without the use of FFS, and the biggest key to this was finding fish, that I believed other competitors would overlook, and hunker down on them when I didn't have electronics to see if they were there. Ended up catching every single one I planned to over the 3 days, which is pretty rare in a spawning event.

| Key Baits / Set Ups |
- vocelkafishing "The Puppet Master" with 16lb sunline_america Shooter and a 1/4oz Horseshoe Tackle Stupid Tube. I used this A TON in practice and when I was "practicing" during the tournament. Doesn't get snagged much, easier to land these big smallmouth on a baitcaster, and I was able to shake fish off that I didn't want to stick pretty easily to keep trying to preserve fish.

- Vocelka Fishing and Customs "The Dequila Shot" and "The Spinnin' Rod" with 12 lb Sunline Overwatch to a 10lb FC Sniper Leader. Rigged up a 1/4oz Drop Shot with a 3" Spark Shad and a 5" Berkley Flat Nose Jerk Shad. By tournament days, fish started getting pretty pressured by Tubes and Minnows, I slowed down and just really focused on making the right cast. Caught a ton of my fish on "minnow style" baits on drop shots as the event went on, I think the fish were actively spawning the last day of practice and Day 1 of the event, so they started "looking up" a lot more, the tube bite started dying for me pretty quickly. This is a Kistler Helium Spinning Rod in the picture, and that's just because I'd have 5 Drop-Shots rigged up daily and by the time I came in I'd typically only had 1 left after breaking off on stumps all day. So this is the one that survived.

Caught a few fish on some random other baits, but when I "needed a bite" this was my bread and butter down on Kentucky Lake.
