I like the 1 fish tournament, easy weigh in. 4 hour tourney may bring more fisherman on a consistent basis. I like the idea of $25 per boat with 100% payout. I think the Nolin big fish tourney pays every 7 places. Doesnt matter to me but gives...
I'm 68 and don't hunt or fish anymore. Just don't feel safe. I don't have the energy to get out anymore. I have been going though cancer treatments and it's sapped all my energy.
I think we all get those feelings. I know for sure I do now that the long days are getting shorter and I cant get out cause its too cold! Im 80 now and just cant take the cold like I did when I was younger. Soon spring will be here, the bass will...
I think we all go thru those cycles. For me the first thing I do is remind myself it’s okay to be temporarily burned out on these activities. Next, I deliberately get involved with other projects to complete and get my confidence and sense of...
I’m 52 and a long time hunter and fisherman. I have a basstracker and a number of kayaks.
The last year I’ve lost my mojo about both. I read and think about doing both but can’t get up energy to actually get out. Hunted twice. Got a nice buck but...
Thanks guys for the updates and efforts to keep us all safe. I’m thinking with the water so far up I’ll leave the boat home and pitch red fins after dark from all the “ new” shoreline fishing areas.
Grider just emailed us to let us know the Corp has instructed them to prepare for levels surpassing the old record of 751.4. They will shut power off to more dock sections as needed during the rise. Folks, I would guess the only place that will...
great point about the ramps and unseen obstructions, man its a mess, and its going to get worse, and its going to take a while to get back to normal. i wont be fishing until it does, way to much chance of tearing something up and then being out of...
Wolfe Creek is closed and I believe Burnside is close to closing or has limited access. Some slips are without power at Grider Hill (Mine) and I expect more to come soon. Be VERY careful if you do launch. Launch ramps are all under water with...
hey just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who might be planning a trip over the next few days to lake Cumberland. if your plans include any of the marinas you might want to contact them prior to making the trip. I received an email from...
As of Monday, 18 February, Millwood Lake pool dropped slightly over the last week with rain in sw Arkansas and se Oklahoma to approx 8.5" above normal pool. USACE made gate changes at the dam on Monday and are releasing around 13,600 CFS on Monday....
Inshore:
February has been a warm month with some record highs in many areas of the Treasure Coast. It has been a mild winter so far and Spring is almost here already. Water temperatures are in the low to mid seventies and the fish have been...
According to the COE site they cut the main gate back a little from what it was Sunday and plan on shutting it off Wednesday. The 10 day forecast has three different days with a good chance of rain. If we get what they predict in the 10 day outlook...
In a event that only last a few hours I like the concept of just one fish. It would make weigh in very fast and easy, plus keep things very simple. However 4 hours does seem kind of short. I think 5 or possibly 6 hours sounds better. I know 1 more...
When it comes to cutthroats, rainbows, & "cutbows" try to believe me when i say proper classification by appearance can just be much harder at times than one would think. Even professionals can make mistakes & i know of a sport fisherman here in...
I know this post is old but thought this may be helpful...May be a cutthroat trout or possibly a "cutbow". From my understanding resident rainbow trout have slightly smaller teeth & NONE on their tongue. Meanwhile rainbow trout's close cousin the...

I could do Tuesday as well, doesn't matter to me. In fact, it may be better if the lake gets a day of rest after the weekend.
Would you think a 4 hour big fish tourney would work best?
Largemouth Bass are moving into staging areas daily and super shallow... And Mother Nature is doing her thing ... up and down temps and plenty of rain.. If you look back one year you'll remember a warming trend that had many of us wearing shorts and...
I am off every Monday and Tuesday and I would be game to try it a few times on Green. I prefer Tuesday's but could do Monday's. You and I make two boats so round up a few more and we will get together.
I fished the Taylorsville Monday morning tourney some the past couple years. They have a really good group over there and several guys that show up every Monday.
I was hoping to find one on Green preferably but Nolin or Rough would be good...
Congrats UK! I had the pleasure of meeting the UK bass team last month and can attest that they are all top notch student athletes. Also, Tommy Hall, their coach, is a great coach and truly has the anglers best interests in mind as he leads the...
I am familiar with both the links you posted. I do use them when I am wanting to look up historical information. The link I use is "typically" updated every morning around 7-8 AM. The thing I like best about the link I use is it shows inflow. The...
Saturday the lake was over the ramps and up to the restroom. That means it will be a week before I can get to my pontoon I keep there. Also my wife just started fussing about another 3-5" coming the next few days.
Don't look good.
Patoka is another lake that comes to mind.......If Patoka allowed for homes around it, that area of the state would move from the poorest area to one of the wealthiest. A **** TON of money would be generated for services, and would bring money to...
All of these Corp Lakes that don't allow development around them, are causing some of the issues. This area would be loaded with tax revenues, and income, and opportunities if there were some homes right on the lakes. A million dollar home on...
I feel bad for you Eddie......that *****. I know you were pumped up for this.......Worked CRAZY hard to make it happen, and then was let down. :( :( . Some people just ****.
I use this site : http://www.lrl-wc.usace.army.mil/reports/lkreport.html for water levels.
But, I also see the COE Facebook page for Green, and usually they say something like they're pulling the lake at such and such a rate, BUT will...
Ok everyone, this is going to be the "Wednesday Morning out of Possum Ridge" on the KY Fish and Game website/tournament scheduling page. Starting this up for guys who want to fish a tournament but cant make all the weekend events or for folks like...
Good Sunday to everyone. Hope you all are having a good weekend. Yesterday, we had our inaugural Kentucky/Barkley Lake divisional event our of Paris Landing. Six boats competed with the winners weighing-in 6.67lbs. Congrats to team Lovett/Genz.
...
Nolin was cancelled due to the ice and snow.
KY Lake had 5 boats. Winners had 7/7 fish for 6.67lbs.

I have a very strange work schedule. I "typically" fish every Tuesday March-November. Even though I think we have way too many tournaments I would still do one on a Tuesday if Green had one. I doubt very seriously there is enough interest to do it...
I don't know why but the COE stays 24 hrs behind on updating the site I get my water information from. I drive across the tailwaters on a regular basis to travel for work. I knew they were getting ready to start letting lose water because its been 3...
Flooded (as per the COE/Green Facebook account)
683.3ft (15.3ft over Winter Pool) and still slowly rising (as of today)
I was there on Feb 9th at Holmes Bend & water was muddy in the area & over Summer Pool levels ... and they've had nearly 5"...
LAKE JACKSON IS 1.32 FEET OVER FULL, STAINED, 50S
Bass fishing is fair. It is time to use deep water jigging spoons as some nice bass along with a variety of other fish are being caught using this method. Find the fish and the structure and...
LAKE SINCLAIR IS DOWN 1.15 FEET, STAINED, 50S
Bass fishing is good. Here are fish in both shallow and deep water. Fish shallow water points using crank baits and jigs. Most are coming from main river banks that drop quickly into deep water....
