This spring seems like one long continuation of late winter. As soon as we get a warm day, the temperature plunges and we are back in February again. It even snowed on Monday of the third week of April.
This up and down weather combined with cold...
Again, how are you determining whether or not any of the fish in the lake have spawned? What kind of research have you undergone to determine that not one smallmouth in the entire lake has spawned yet?
Ok professor. Pre spawn fish are not spawning fish. Post spawn could be argued but since zero have spawned that is moot.
About the rest of your post? I haven’t put anyone down unless recommending them to research their thoughts before...
I loss my daughter in law six years ago on March 15th. I loss my son one moth later, April 15th. Wasn’t and isn’t easy. My wife and I are raising his son, now 18 and 23. A day doesn’t go by that I don’t think of them. All we can do is take one day...
The fact that you can't even construct a sentence in English correctly makes me question your self-proclaimed superior intellect.
Just to be clear; you are claiming that this thread was started on a "false premise" simply because you don't...
So the daily on the water flw report was a lie? Because their reading raunbow clearly stated the top producers were targeting spawning amd staging smallmouth. That is the very reason there is such an uproar, their words, not anyone elses.
Not a single “spawning smallmouth” were caught during this tournament. How do I know this? Because they are still not spawning. This thread was a rant about tournaments off a false premise. Seems like there is a lot of that these days.
Also...
Clearly we have very different views on this subject, it doesnt make me right, or you right. You wont, cant never will change my point of view , ive been shaping this point of view for well over a half century. I dont know you, dont care to and...
US Fish & Wildlife banned tournament fishing from refuge waters back in 2001. Does anyone here really think that was done just for the helluvit or do you think they did so to protect those fisheries?
Come on guys, we all know tournament fishing...
It is hard to argue with the pro-tournament crowd. In the end it is all about money vs the fishery and we all know what tournaments are about. I agree with you that dropping the size limit as a special exemption for a tournament during the spawn...
Walleye fishing during April, by day the, the true trophies are caught. You don’t have to freeze all night for the big girls. Here’s Charlie with and April giant.

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..

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.
