Guist Creek Lake big fish of the day. The Crappie was 14 inches, the bass 22". Cold, overcast, stained water at 41. They were deep.
About a mile upstream from Ky River Campground just off a rock bar.
Errie Dearie rig with nightcrawlwer
22 inches, did not have a scale.
i just hope you did not assemble it while on vacation in China. I hate that made in China crappie stuff
I cast net shad in the Ky river, but I can't keep them alive long enough to transport them anywhere. I would not transport anyway. Even if they were not asian carp any shad could harm a lake under...
Could this be a trick question? #1 is the silver and # 2 is definitely a shad. Could #3 be an asian grass carp? making 1 and 3 correct?
I have a manual inflatable vest. It's comfortable and allows better range of motion. However, in really cold weather I wear my old standard vest in cast the inflatable were to freeze up. Even still...
Used Coleman cooler, about 10gal size. No leaks. Best offer.
I was out overnight Thursday and back Friday afternnon. I packed two coolers with ice for drinks, brekfast etc.
I just bought a new Igloo cooler for the trip and I has my Coleman cooler as well. ...
Probably for the taste eating them. There is no doubt that rainbow, brown and about all trout are just delicious.
Now I eat smallmouth and they are just too much fun on the end of your line, but...
I don't know how much you want to spend or how far you re willing to travel to buy.
But, Bass Pro shops have some really, really good deals on some holdover new motors.
These are motors...
I went through the Ky course a couple of years ago. The discount on Insurance did not amount to much but it was a discount.
I too learned quite a bit from it even after boating for 40+ years....
Ditto this advise.
The only thing I will add is a link to the online course. It is free but if want a certificate for insurance or other purposes you have to pay. Otherwise you can study and...
There can be submirged rocks, rock bars, sand bars out in some of the major lakes. Be good to have a chart of the lake you are in to know depths and then still be careful.
Now launching and more...
Nice boat!! I will mention it to anyone I know that is looking. I would buy it for a spare if I could.
Mine slows down at times but it also is slow on other web sites. I think its my broadband connection.l
If you have good connection to turn signals it's probably not a ground problem. You say the side marker and tail lights are not working. The tail lights and the side lights are on the same circuit...
I ditto the moth balls, Place a few in a cup in all the air enclosed areas. If your boat is covered place a bunch in the middle of the boat. The smell of the moth balls will keep them out. Mice can...
Products made in a common factory under different brand names may have very different specifications and quality. This may include battery manufactorers.
A prime example is MTD mowers. MTD...
River is projected to crest at 21 ft. Saturday. Last year the lakes did not get down to summer pool till early June. Sure is screwing up winter river fishing.
This fellow does excellent work at a very fair price. Might be a little far for you though, he is in Bedford KY. That east of louisville off I71.

You can purchase the 2012 licenses online now. The 2012 license will be good on 03/01/2012.
The webise site will give you a choice of current year or 2012 year license.
Either one will protect the motor. I use the inline fuse just because it was the cheapest way to protect the motor, was easy to install and I know it is working.
I have a fuse holder that has a...
Put in at Steel Branch and rode up to Lock 4. River was quick at 8.6', could not get vey close to the dam due to swift water. Temp was 41.1 deg.
Pretty much got skunked. Day started by running...
I have had mine for a couple of years, don't remember exactly what I paid for the unit.
To answer your question I did have to buy a 18 foot Crestliner and a 75 hp Merc 4 stroke as a mounting...
I have seen many coperheads dive under the water when you get close to them. So not so sure about the old float/sink test. In any case I pretty much just leave snakes alone. Even wading chest deep...
This time of year you have to find the deep holes. Also you have a lot of luck fishing in the rapids, lures just above the rapids and just below the rapids. Try floating a nightcrawler or crawdad...
Check for an overflow port. That would be a small screw cap to remove. Fill untill fluid comes out of the overflow. Similar to the lower unit overflow port or a tractor hydraulic overflow port.
I...
Embrey, I need to cover 68 acres with them.
Can you imagine the smell for a week, still would be worth it.
I saw that show. Ole Tim said up front he had a back up plan. Throw the carp in his compost pile. They would make a very good soil enhancer.
I need a really big trolling net. Bow fishing them...
Times like these I miss my 28 foot crusier. I remember one day when we were anchored off a rock bar with about three other small boats around, fishing for cats. Two fellows come by in a 24 foot...
Good luck out there Rich. By the way, are ya going to have a yard sale??? You know you are going to have to buy all new baits. Those western fish are on a different diet!!! (just kidding, but I...
I think the asian carp was imported to control grass and alge in the commercial catfish farms in the south. It was a flood that released them into the mississippi river.
They are considered a very good eating fish in asia. Problem is they have no preditors to check their population here. The second problem is that most people associate them with our local carp here...
Good advise here. If the gas line has an air leak it will cause the motor to bog down under a load. I remember my old 1967 33 hp evinrude had O rings in the connectors that would frey and leak air...
I may be wrong, but the merc dealer I use for service says that Yamaha and Mercury are made with 90% identical parts. I think the power head/motor is the same and the lower units are the same. He...
Another point about a spun prop. If you have a spun prop your engine will rev at high RPM and the boat will barely move. This is because the prop shaft is spinning freely. So if you get high RPM and...
Lots of advice here, some good, some funny, some bad.
I would try a couple of quick fixes. 1) Compression check. If you have good compression thats a very +++ sign. 2) Spark. check all plugs...
I would not put a 225 hp Optimax on a 12' jon.
Other than that yes. Even an electric trolling motor on the 12' jon needs to be licensed. 9' two man bass bug + 36lb Minnkota=licensed with Ky...
The water is still high, not to the extreme it was but still high and fast. Look out for the low head dams on the creek. Check maps and know where they are before you go. Portage around them. The...
Another thought would be to use the Trex or similar decking material at Lowes or Home Depot. The narrow strips that are designed for home decking may offer drainage to the bilge. All made or...
There is a product out there that is a polyfiber decking made for marine use. It works like wood (cut, paint, sand and drill) but is made of poly fibers. It will not rot, rust or pit. It is also much...
Is the problem oxidation? When you used the wax did you get a lot of dead (dry) paint rubbing off with the wax?
I had a boat with really heavy oxidation (28 foot crusier). No matter what I used...
There is also a product out there that is called duraboard (I think that is the name of it). It is a poly resin material similar to the trex decking material. It can be worked (cut, screwed, nailed)...
Some sort of a mount for a boarding ladder???? That may be a good use for it. I wouldn't cut it off.
80 years from now we will be complaining about the high cost of that foreign lithiumion. It's all big lithiumion companies fault.
As a last ditch attempt to fix it I would cut the burnt/melted portion of the wires off and do a direct connection with a battery. If it works that way replace the fuse, fuse holder and wires.
Here are a couple on ebay now. I searched hummingbird fish used and did a search of title and descriptions. Sorted highest price first, then scrolled over pages untill I reached a price range of...
