Canepole, you have a P.M.
Super moderator.....are you kidding me? Learn to spell?... WHATEVER!!!
Bonefish you have a P.M. No that's not B.M.
Sorry. Still can't get it to work. I need the tech-no-geek.
Elwood and Bonefish are way too nice. Won't go into the story on how I met Elwood but I'll get real defensive when anyone says anything negative about him. This guy shows a total stranger the best...
I'd like to chime in on the kudos for a great event. Many thanks goes to Elwood for putting together an awesome line up. Seems like everyone that attended walked away with enough tackle to keep...
I know Elwood has already posted on our wonderful weekend excursion on the twin lakes but The prowlness of his guiding abilities is beyond anything I've ever encountered.
Not only will the heft...
Now I have to apologize to Krista. A song writers life is tougher than I thought. Maybe I need to stick to my day job. Well, need to take off to Indianapolis to the nurseryman and landscapers...
Seems we'd also have to add the word numb and something about a runny nose.
Ifn my nose produced money I would be rich...but it's snot... hmm.
I'm hearing the tune 'Wichita Lineman'. I'll...
OPPS! After reading back my post and can understand the sentiment. I was attempting to be more 'tongue in cheek' with my humor. I need to brush up on my writing skills. If anyone is a 'newby' on...
Been a long time since I've made a post so I thought I'd break the cycle. My middle son finally decided he'd like to try the float-n-fly at the Hollow before returning to college so he had a two day...
Hands down, Jesse Duncan is the guide you want for Barren. He was shared many good spots and techniques and a wonderful guy to spend the day with. Look for his fishing report on this website (for...
Way to go Chunknwind! I don't know if you remember me but I met you last year down at Dale. My goal the last few years has been to net a five pounder also. To date I have come up short by a few...
I think all my phone numbers and e-mail address etc. that I have on file for you are outdated. Please send me an e-mail to update. Just wanted to give you a call and catch up. Thanks!
Mike...
Hendricks Creek is open at the mid lake area. It does work best to take out on the steeper section of the ramp adjacent to the dock area. Best of luck, fishing was good about a week ago.
Seems like I'm a stranger to the board since I haven't made a post since last February. Have had a VERY busy year but finally made it back down to good ol' Dale Hollow last week.
First of all I...
Just returned from a 3 day trip to the Hollow this week. Fishing was a little tough since the water temps. were still in the low forties. Fishing patterns will certainly be different by the time...
I am far from an expert but my personal feelings are that we did have several days when the bite was good for the float-n-fly but nothing sustained for a long period like last year. I'm afraid the...
There you go Elwood, now I don't know what to say. Just got back on the computer and noticed your post. I just hope the rod will give you as much a blessing as fishing with you had given me.
By...
Thanks Woody,
Caught her on one of the spots you put me on to. I'm also glad I asked for the lesson on how to land a nice fish with 10' of leader. It worked like a charm! Thanks again for the...
I must respond to this post in defense of Elwood.
I was scheduled for four glorious days on Dale last week with a friend of mine that had to cancel because of a family situation. Elwood had...
Hey Elnut if your interested send me your email. I'll be down at Willow Grove fishing by myself on Wednesday. Maybe we can meet up somewhere.
Mike
Ditto on Doug Meyer. Great work and resonable.
Jesse Duncan does a lot of fishing with spoons on Barren. He catches quality largemouth as well as hybrid white bass on this technique. I agree with the above responder that locating the bait fish...
I like my MinnKota 3 bank charger. Purchased it through Cabelas but I can't remember the price but I believe it was about mid range.
I stayed at the Kentucky State Park Lodge last Dec. and had very nice room and food. You certainly don't have to worry about the crowds in Dec. The only negative is there is not much as far as boat...
To add my two cents worth, Doug did a super job on my bass boat also. Have used it for a year and a half now and still looks a performs great. I could not recommend anyone more highly. Also he is...
Holmes Bend is my favorite. Good camping area if that's what your after or they also have nice cabins. The people at the marina are very nice and helpful and have plenty of slips if you want to...
You can find a lot of different grades and colors at either Cabelas or Bass Pro.
Sounds like an exciting four days comong up! Let us know how you did on both ends. Hope the bite is on for you.
Seems like I remember several out there were going to fish Cumberland last weekend. Just curious as to how you did. Maybe the cold and snow changed your minds or you just need a nudge from me. I'd...
Hey Elnut
Was done at the Hollow last weekend and observed a tournament going out of Horse Creek. I was curious as to how it was ran. Was told that it was the usual limit for black bass on the...
Thanks much for the detailed explaination. I too use the 10 foot rod (which I like very much) but I now see why I would have had problems. The bottom line is I have been too anxious to get the ol'...
Since one of your posts back in december I have wondered how you could land a nice (say four pound or more) smallmouth by yourself on the float-n-fly. I certainly won't say I've had a lot of...
Anyone know the results from the tournament that went out of horse creek yesterday (sat. 1/28/06)? We had a rough couple of days on Dale with the blue bird days and was just wondering how the tourny...
Many thanks for the good report! From what I've been hearing sounds like you have done as well as anyone. I would not hang my head over a couple of nice four pound fish especially under the tougher...
Anyone out there ever caught many white bass over winter? Seems like maybe they could be located back in the creek arms this time of year. I have talked with some crappie fisherman that have caught...
Beautiful rainbow! Thanks for posting the picture. That would would have made my day.
Super report! I was down there sunday and monday and had a great time (see recent post). Sorry but I messed up your name (elnutsmallmouth instead of 'jaws' on that post.
Best of luck to you!
Looks like Dale Hollow received all the attention over the weekend! Made it down to The Hollow Saturday late afternoon and fished all day Sunday and Monday. Fished an area of the lake that I have...
Glad to see you had a good time. Sounds as if you hit them at a good time. With wipers you just never know, but I'm happy you gave them a try. Just curious, you said you used flies. Did you rig...
Bump
Doug, please e-mail me with your phone number. For whatever reason I can not reach you via e-mail but you can get through to me. Just need to chat. Let me know a good time to call also. Thanks. ...
I don't know how to start to respond to this but here goes.
I'll start by stating I have never fished for hybrids at Rough before, but have spent many days on both Monroe and Barren Lakes. In my...
I was hoping slowretrieve would respond to your questions. He and jsy for sure have more experience with the wipers than I do and I really appreciate the information they bring to the board. Thanks...
I not sure you want me to give you pointers on Wipers if you look at the success I've had this year. It is true that they key on shad and typically where you find the shad you will find wipers. It...
Hey, thanks for the reply. I know what you mean by good one day bad the next. The best day of wipers I had there occurred about 3 years ago. It was hard to keep them off your hook. We also went...
Went to Monroe today (11/02/05). Weather was absolutely great but the fishing wasn't. I went for wipers also but other than landing a 13 pound flathead (on a jig no less) I struck out on wipers. ...
