I use fluorocarbon leaders for almost everything, spinning and casting reels. Braid main line with FG knot to the FC leader and then a UNI knot or snell knot (only for flipping hooks) to the hook or...

Anyone have a current or recent water temp for KY Lake? The Hancock Biological Station website has not been updated in a while.

Thanks,
Mark

I bass fished it Saturday afternoon in the wind with not much luck. Caught a couple small ones on crankbaits. Water is brown like tea, but visibility was good where the wind had not stirred up the...

A buddy and I fished it last evening/night. I caught one on a whopper plopper, only topwater bite of the trip. He caught about 7 dragging a craw and I broke one off doing the same. Largest was...

I was there yesterday. 11Am it was 47 and warmed to 49.5 by 4:30pm. Water was heavily stained, up 5ft and rising.

State regs has no minimum size limit, same for Taylorsville. 15 daily creel with only 5 over 15".

Some friends of mine rented a house there, so we are going for a 'fun' weekend. I was just going to fish whenever I had time.

Thanks for the input.

I'm going to Barren this weekend for only my second time. Not really a fishing trip, but I will try to get my bass boat out in the mornings and evenings. Need some bass tips. Hybrid striper tips...

I fished this past weekend (9th and 10th) and temp ranged from 58 to almost 60. Bass were biting pretty good in the creeks.

My buddy and I are thinking about taking the bass boat down to the Paris Landing area on KY Lake this spring. Any suggestions on places to stay?

I have two Shimano Stradic 3000FI's (silver and gold color ones) that are now 2 generations old and love them. I run 10 and 15lb powerpro on them with fluorocarbon leaders if needed. The new...

Caught bunch on jigs Sunday just messing around, mostly keepers. We were switching between bass and crappie fishing. Found a huge school of crappie on a point in 12ft of water, but could only get...

Where were you catching them, in the creeks or on main lake? I was out there Saturday and fished for both Crappie and bass, mostly crappie as they were biting pretty good. We only caught one bass...

I switched from roller to a bow fishing Whisker Biscuit just for that reason. I love the Biscuit for this. I do most of my bowfishing on the Ohio at night with lights.

Fished it Sunday and water color was great. You could see a couple feet down. No luck on the bass though, but did catch 3 hybrids one about 18". I expected it to be tough with the 19+ feet of...

Weightless Zoom Fluke on 3/0 4/0 EWG hook is great. Jerk it to make it look like injured baitfish. Can't go wrong with a 7" texas rigged plastic worm with bullet weight 1/4 oz or so. I would throw...

I have not liked the Seaguar AbrazX or InvizX, too much stretch and poor knot strength for me. I broke off lures just on the cast. I also tried Sufix Castable Invisiline and it was like Seaguar...

Going bass fishing on Rough tomorrow, any tips/info?

Taylorsville lake, Nolin River Lake and Ohio river around 18 mile island area. Yearly April trip to KY & Barkley Lakes.

My buddy and I are looking for a cheap place to stay around Blood river area in April. Any recommendations. We did KY Beach Resort last year and was not impressed.

I am no expert but my guess is that they would tend to be in the upper part of the lake finishing their spring run up the river. In May I am still largemouth fishing. I did not really start after...

Sounds like it. I got a fishin buddy in LaGrange with an aluminum Ranger too.

I'm about 1.5 miles west of Ballardsville on HWY 22 across from East Oldham Middle school.

I have seen Tim Farmer (KY Afield) videos with this guide on Taylorsville and other lakes. I have not used a guide and just try to figure it out myself. I saw you are in LaGrange and figured...

I started chasing hybrids at Taylorsville lake last summer and it was great fun. Broke my personal best 3 weeks in row, 5lb then 6lb then 8lb. Had one trip with a buddy and caught one every cast...

If you do not like the sound you need to use any of the 8 carrier braids, like Power Pro Super 8 Slick or Seaguar Smackdown. I use PP Super 8 myself and have no complaints.

I would like to know too. Water temp/clarity. Thinking about going New Years day.

We did pretty good out there last Saturday slow cranking the main lake. Two of us caught 21 bass with a 4.75 pounder. I should be out there Sat and or Sun.

I used to be a Shimano guy, but I am loving my 3 Diawa Tatula reels. I have one in all three ratios 5.4, 6.3 & 7.1. There is an online auction site where you can get them for under $100 new.

Buddy and I went out today. On the water at 10:45 and left at 4:30. Water temp was 49 and the further up the lake you went the better the water clarity, if it was not wind blown bank. I was...

I fished mostly topwater and you could see them coming and chasing it. The water was very clear. It was so much fun. My buddy fished crankbait and caught the 4lb and the walleye. We had several...

I was there this past weekend and on Sunday it was 77-78. Caught a ton of 10-14" bass, a 4LB bass and a 19" walleye.

I always use double UNI or UNI to UNI knot on braid to flouro. I usually wrap 5 or 6 times on each UNI.

I have been catching mine in the back of Little Beech Creek. Tons of small ones, 1.5-2.0 inches long.

Caught it ripping a blade bait through a school we found on the Humminbird DI.

Went out chasing hybrids after work and caught a good one. My new personal best 8lbs. I'm 6'1" 350lbs, so I make them kinda look small.

I have fished plenty in the Gulf with bass tackle. Throwing gulp or real shrimp on jigheads. Even live pilchards/white bait, everyone calls them something different, free lined on circle hooks. I...

Decided to hit the river around 18 mile island after work today. Current was swift and water was muddy. Very first cast caught this striper. Then not a bite for the next 1.5 hrs we fished, until...

I have been trying to follow his and Randy Kuhens reports. Just looking for extra info.

Going to KY Lake first weekend in April. Staying in Blood. We mainly bass fish, but would take some crappie too. Anyone got any helpful tips for the bass and/or crappie. Would also like to try to...

I love my Shimano Crucial rods.

I just got to test out my new Tatula this past Saturday after the lakes defrosted and it felt great. Great casting reel. I only fished for about an hour with it though. It figures that Shimano...

I hit Taylorsville today and only landed 3 bass 12-13" and lost two others one of which was about 3LBs. All were in the very backs of the creeks on a slow rolled spinnerbait. Water was around 55...
