Any pointers for people who catch small fish like me :)
Thanks R19. That is helpful information.
I have a buddy that flies in each year for us to take an annual fishing trip together. We have always gone to Kentucky Lake. But now I am considering if we should go to another body of water such...
Does anyone know if wax is open on Nolin lake? If not what ramps are open?
That may be important information: We are bass fishermen
Hey Guys,
For the past 8 years a buddy and I have made an annual trip to ky lake from Louisville. The lake was undoubtedly better the first few years we went but we have noticed a slight decline...
As I travel to hunt and fish, each trip becomes less about catching and killing and more about the experience. This becomes more true when you go out of the country. I love hearing you talk about...
Thanks for the report. Geo how was the fishing for you this weekend?
Geo- I would love to meet up with you sometime on the bar stool- (not the bed stool :) ) to talk fishing.
Have you made it out to Ky Lake yet this year? I have a trip scheduled for April 21st. ...
Thanks Dave. Your insight is always appreciated!
All,
I have a friend flying in from Florida this weekend and we are driving the 3 hrs to Kentucky lake to Bass Fish. We see that it is suppose to rain almost every day that we will be there. It...
Never thought about this until you point out the obvious. That does seem like poor management.
You can put in at clarksville but sometimes it can be hard getting a boat in and out with the current there. Also I would examine the ramp. It has been known to get washed out.
Not much help on water levels but make sure that you are aware of the dam that is under the water in the main channel. You need to go around it by the Lock. You can see the dam on the top of Sand...
Honestly after 2011 I saw my fishing success decrease. We use to be able to fish the lake and have 50+ fish days. Now we rarely have 10+. Through the years I thought I would see the size increase...
Thanks guys. I found it at Academy!
I use to mount transducers in-hull or to seal any hole in my boat. For a permanent bond use 5200. I ham using 5200 to install a tranducer board on the outside of my boat so that I do not need to...
Great report Geo! I look forward to seeing you out in your Tracker this year! I will be in a blue/white Nitro. Staying at Hillman April 21-23.
Does anyone know where I can buy 3m 4200 fast cure around Louisville? I am having a hard time finding this stuff.
Thanks!
I wanted to invite everyone to a free Louisville event for all outdoorsman.
Date: May 14th
Time: 4-7 PM
Admission is free and there will be tons of door prizes (including a free fishing pole...
Humm. My first thought was that it was marking the wildlife sanctuaries. But looking at it closer I do not believe those areas are wildlife sanct. Since it started occurring with the new update. I...
Fished Barkley on the 8th and only caught a few fish. Moved over to KY lake on the 9th and did much better. Still tough ended up with about 25 fish mostly caught on green watermelon zoom shakey...
I tend to find them when the weather is warmer outside. I like to go when the wind is calm. This allows me to see them feed on the surface. You will see little Vs on the water surface. Keep all...
Awesome! Thanks this was the type of information that I was looking for.
At the state park the water had about 8-10in of visibility on Saturday.
What size of jig heads do you use?
Ok Guys I need help. The last few years I hear tons about the A-Rig. I have bought a handful of 3 and 5 wire rigs but have yet to have any success. I have done a lot of research and basically...
So Sad. Often I think-this would not happen to me. But I know that I have been in many o-crap situations in the past and if things went a little different I could have been the one on the news...
Wow. Nice Fish. Bring it to Kentucky for the lunker program :) :rolleyes:
This is more common with walleye tournaments up north. I am not aware of any states that have it for bass but I do not know all state laws.
No you can not cull in a tournament if the state prevents it. Typically the tournament will hand out tags for the fish. Every fish in the live well has to be tagged. Once the tags are used up then...
The Ohio River is good, especially if you can find the Asians. Nolin, Rough, Green, and Taylorsville will also have good numbers of carp and drum. Ky River can be ok for Gar and Buffalo. The ohio...
I totally understand. I use to fish tournaments and enjoyed it greatly. It was always for fun. However, lately I have had more tournament fisherman come and pull up cutting me off to fish a bank. ...
Hey GeoFisher-
I was fishing on Barkley on Saturday evening in the white/blue Nitro. It was great getting to meet and talk with you. It is a pleasure to talk with fisherman who are willing to...
I appreciate this question, as i started fishing when I was 7 and also had a dad that wanted nothing to do with fishing. For me I read every fishing magazine and book that I could get my hands on. ...
A buzzbait would not be my top choice. I think that you are still a few weeks out for that.
Thanks Dave! I read your post but I guess with my lack of experience I did not know the answer to the basics of largemouth behavior, specifically, if the prespawn females would move shallow with...
What are the conditions like at Kentucky Lake after all of this rain?
Dave (or others) how do you expect this next weeks rain and potentially raising water will affect the bass? Will we see the...
Guessing at the conditions per all of the other reports around the state.
- Water is improving every day. With clarity being Stained. Big fish have not moved up as water temperatures are...
They opened the ramp yesterday.
The reality is that most bass fisherman carry way too many lures. I have lures/soft plastics in my boat that I have not used in the past 5 years.
I would get myself a soft tacklebox that carries...
The hook will dissolve in the fish's mouth. It will live to be caught another day.
How do you have the electronics wired? It sounds like to me that you have them wired into a fuse box. If so undue this and run them each independently to you battery. Make sure that you put an...
Most likely the water coming off of that strake is what is causing the issue. But before I would go about drilling additional holes in your boat I would strongly recommend that you mount it inside...
What kind of fish?
Thanks Tim. For clarification "the branch of Captains Quarters" is this the marina just past Captain Quarters. Or are you referring to another section?
Thanks for responding
These forums did not clear up my confusion. What I gleaned from them was that on some corp lakes the marina owners can charge you with trespassing if you fish the Marinas. However, I was wondering...
Can someone explain the laws/rights with fishing in the marinas on the Ohio River. I see signs that fishing is not allowed. I also do not see how they can prevent recreation fishing from occurring...
Hey Geo..
Sorry we didn't get a hold of you two weeks ago. With the snow storm rolling in on Sunday we headed out late Saturday night. Fishing was ok. Caught a couple of fish in the 3lb-3.5lb...
Is that a true question? I would choose almost any lake over Taylorsville :)
