Forum | Kentucky lake

The scary thing about Kentucky Lake is that shallow bar you're showing might not show on the gps charts and it might be four feet under water at summer pool and six inches under water in the fall…

The interesting thing about that photo is it doesn't really look all that rough.  It's hard to show in a photo wave height.  The spacing too of the waves can become interesting as well.  Then you throw in the occasional wave that is two feet taller than the others and it's easy to get some "air" on Kentucky Lake.

I think part of it is due to the fact that the current flow is from south to north, but much of the wind comes from the north heading south.  When the river flow butts heads with the wind, it makes for some odd currents and waves.
