Hey guys!
My name is Nick and I'm a 28 y.o Swede. I've been fishing since I was a kid - with experiences ranging from freshwater fishing in Sweden, to giant halibut in Norway and bluefin tuna in croatia.
Now, me and my fiancee are flying to...

Kentucky Lake: Water Level at Kentucky Dam - 359.25 Surface Temperature - 58
Lake Barkley: Water Level at Barkley Dam - 359.10 Surface Temperature - 57
Both lakes are at summer pool. Kentucky Dam was spilling at an average...
I know everyone is dealing with this crazy weather. But trying to figure out if we should move a yearly fun trip back? We go every year to Barkley to do our best to time a bush bite. This year is scheduled for May4-11th. Going south Barkley the...
They don't release the deer after they shoot them that's the problem im guessing.
I don't know what other tournaments they used for the study there might be a high school tournament involved also but they do exemptions anyway for HS and youth...
i guess thats where the problem lies with me, why only the large tournaments?? would you be in favor of tv hunting shows being allowed to come to kentucky and shoot an extra buck? i mean if we are talking exposure and state revenue production there...

He's fine with the new ones. Makes me think about selling some of my old ones. I do think the newer originals are the ones he's talking about and not the first run of new rapalas, the ones with rapala...
Of course I dont see a problem with it. Dont get me wrong I don't think they should lower the size limit in every little tournament. But Im all for it in larger regional tournaments that bring in alot of money and exposure. And as a requirement you...
So of course you are in favor of lower size limits (only for tournemt competitors) because you actually have asked for them in years past....your words (i used to talk to marcy and kdfwr)
I personally think THAT is the dumbest comment on the whole...
They didnt decide to do the study just because flw pros werent happy last year. Like I said before KY fish and wildlife has waived size limits before in youth tournaments there years ago. I used to talk to Marcy and the fish and wildlife about...
Anybody know how the fish are biting, I was wondering if the fish were starting to bed. I'm going to put in Saturday at Cumberland Point. Any info will help jus hoping the bite was still good.
OK, here..

3.7 feet over summer pool . They are catching them up close using red cranks or other crawdad baits ,,, wanna have some red or orange pattern in your bait color
Big question? Do you have a 58 Les Paul?
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. As difficult as that was to even read, I am able to see the humor in their innocence. Prayers set for blessings and comfort through this difficult time!!!
And so far without ANY specific data or links to said information your post is identixal to all the other posts/replies.
And maybe its a "joke" to you....and once again that is YOUR opinion. Have a great day
I’m not going to lie to you fellas. Walleye fishing on Dale is fair both day and night presently. The walleye are working their way down the obey and the pelagic fish have yet to spawn with females this week dropping eggs all over the boat. Water...
The smallmouth fishing remains good on Dale with water temps hanging around 51. The lake is up and the smallies really been putting the feed bag on. For booking info contact Dave at

Not to be smart but ALMOST everywhere on the internet you can find out the facts. I do question where some who I use to follow closely gets their info! Geo, you should really research this a bit more.
This thread is a joke, full of...
My 6 year old grandson and 10 year old grandson were getting a rough education this spring. Their great grandfather, my Dad, died and was buried 19 days ago at the local cemetery. Today we buried their great grandmother, my Mom.

Just a heads-up - I've never been to Green River in my life but they are having a high school regional tournament there this Saturday. Not sure how many boats but I'm guessing upwards of 75-100. I have heard that there is also a large crappie...
Thanks for the input. We saw you guys roughing out there Saturday in the wind and rain. We were staying at one of the floating cabins at he state marina. My buddy did manage to get 7.5 the first day we were there (Friday) before the weather turned...
I know this is probably too late, but might help anyone headed out this week/weekend.
We had 30 teams show up to fish our USABassin tournament on Saturday, April 14th. We paid 6 places and 13.73 got a check. Bruce and I won it with a 23.65...

Common sense would dictate that state fishing regulations should apply equally to everyone, not just the folks who don't elect to fish in some meaningless tournament.
Lake Guntersville Bass are trying to spawn but mother nature keeps letting old man winter show back up... It just keeps getting cold here ... maybe 3 days we get to wear shorts then 4 days bundled up in our cold gear .. The water temp is struggling...
No worries stripernut. Nobody likes putting back 3lb bass in a tournament so im sure they was dissapointment in the regs. But ky fish and wildlife is doing the study in several tournaments and some are on cave run so it's not just something they are...
Let me apologize for how that reply came across...what i meant to say was bless your heart, and i welcome and respect your point of view. Ok , the high road for me lol.
Seriiously, when i read it it was disrepectful and i didnt mean it that way....
They had EVERYTHING to do with it. There was a unanimous discontent with the number of "short" fish they had to wade through last year. There was no petition that i know of but there was definitely lobbyung going on.
And as far as common sense...
You lost respect for the flw???? Do you think the pros got together and signed a petition to use 12 in fish? They had nothing to do with it and last year they did fine.
The fact you think I watch tournament coverage just to learn a shiny new...
I'm not mad about the size change. I just lost a tad more respect than what little I already had for those FLW guys. If you can't put a few 15" LM or 18" SM along with a couple of spots together for a bag in the spring, you shouldn't be earning...
I fished a little tournament there Sunday 730-230. Water temps were upper 50s mostly. Lake was very stained and muddy towards the dam area. Bigger fish were moving into pockets and Creek arms I had 3 keepers 9.5 or and bf 4.5 all in pockets or...
You do realize this isn't the first time? They have allowed big high school/youth tournaments to keep anything 12 inches. I can't believe people are actually mad and think this will be much worst on the lake vs a normal size limit. There were alot...
Stating Cumberland can support a few spawners being taking off the nest based on size, is very short sighted.
Lake size,
Lake fertility.
Spawn success.
A **** ton of factors go into evaluating if it will hurt or not.
Dale Hollow suffered...
