Anyone know when the Barren Bassmasters Swap Meet is in 2012. Need to mark my calender.
Not sure that has been determined yet. They are investigating the cause.
Just checked with a friend that lives on Hendricks Cr. Rd. The road is clear and all the snow is gone.
This something I have never really added up, kinda interesting.Weights are pounds and ounces,

All Smallmouth from Dale Hollow, the Lm was from Fla.
Thats a nasty lookin Green fish for sure, maybe the begennings of "Elephant Man Fish". I have caught several also with the black fungus, but the tumors are new for me!
The "white gunk" is lime deposits. Use" Lime Away", you spray it on and wipe it off, no scrubbing. You can find it in the grocery store or Walmart. CLR also works.I have a Black Motor and have used...
There is a used boat parts business in, or near Scottsville Ky. But I'm sorry I don't have the name or the #.
Black nose Crappie are common in Dale Hollow. I have seen some near 3 pounds, 17 to 18 inches long. Not sure they would be a trophy, but they sure taste good in the skillet !
They opened the spillway gates at the top of the dam Tuesday, running 7000 cf/s. That is lettin it roll pretty good. They have dropped it almost 2 feet this week.But I still expect it to be high thru...
I have spliced them with success, as long as you seal it good, and tape, no matter how much, will not completely seal a splice. They say you can't splice it because they want to sell you another...
Hey Rick;
I figured it was about time for you to come out of hibernation. I plan on being there in a couple of days. Still plan on looking you up sometime.
Anyone that would steal a mans fishing tackle, would probably do most anything. Scum of the earth, imho !
I found my pics of The World Record and Mr. Hayes

Great pic Tim T;
I was lucky enough to meet Mr Hayes several years ago and have my pic made with him and his fish at the Grayson Co. Swap Meet in Leitchfield,Ky. Mr Hayes was very gracious and soft...
Not sure about Hummingbird units, but Lowrance units I am familiar with, the external antenna works better, stays connected better, more stable.
The raise comes from Frankfort according to my Co. Tax man. They raised the value of both my vehicles by $500 to $700 which amounted to about $15 on each vehicle additional tax. They reluctantly...
Would live to hear your song when complete, please let us know. I have fished the Holler since about the mid eighties(spring chicken) mostly around Hendrick's Cr, i keep my boat there.
Doug;
Can you tell me where you buy your carpet? I am in the process of redoing my old tub and need to know where to get the best deal on quality stuff.
Thanks Boone;
I guess several of us have been wondering about this for years. Now we know! There is a lot of other good info on that TWRA site also, like those slimy blobs attached to tree limbs...
If you run Ky Lake or very much rough water, those rubber toggles WILL NOT HOLD.
I have caught several LM in Dale with these black spots, in some cases the fish wa nearly entirely cover with the black stuff, looks like a fungus to me, but i was told it was the LMBV(largemouth...
Don't know what service you have, but Bluegrass and Verizon cover DH fairly good now, but yes there are still some weak spots, especially in deep coves, and Hendricks Creek Marina !
It is , "Tompkinsville City Lake" . I have fished this lake 3 or 4 times, only at night in the summer. The rule of "electric only" is exactly what it means. I wouldn't want to give up the freedom...
If I am not mistaken, Barren Bassmasters had the first one of these I ever heard of in Ky. There are several others around the state now.
Hey Tom;
I am contemplating the same thing, my old tub needs carpet bad. I am tempted to try it myself. The worst part is the removal and prep. Its pretty labor intensive and its like putting down a...
Smallmouth 7lb 2oz. Dale Hollow, April, live bait.
Hey Jeff;
I have $500,000 on mine........required by HCR if you moor your boat there annually. But the ones that are just there on weekends or a temporary stay don't have to have it. Its just more...
Sounds like my kinda fishin in these conditions.......especially with the hostesses "scantilly" clad !! As long as they are female!!lol
Hmmm, ....... this reinforces my decision to stay home for now. Thanks for the report.
Don't know where you had your minnows stored, but the biggest minnow thiefs I know of are the Otters that have inhabited most of the docks around Dale now. If you didn't have them in a very secure...
Stratosjoe;
I have just been very lucky to catch those good fish. I have spent countless hours trying to catch those "Brown Fish" . There are a lot better fishermen than me on Dale right now and I...
I may try to get down there mid to late next week. Looks like the temps are gonna be below freezing til about late next week, may try to look ya up then.
Yea, I know, I have put on some weight. ! lol!!
Rick;
That first pic is exactly a perfect DH Day, but sometimes even on those days it's tuff on the Holler.
I assume you are talking about the fish I caught in "88" (the one in my avatar pic). I...
Rick;
Seems like I catch some of those LM with the black splotches on them every winter in the cold water. Someone told me that was the LMBV(large mouth bass virus). I have seen some of them that...
Also check where the hole is drilled at the top of the livewell for the sprayer hose to enter. Sometimes the hole around the hose is too large allowing water to escape into the hull when you...
If your not bumping the high end of the recommended RPM range for your motor when your on plane and wide open throttle, and considering your engine is properly tuned, your prop is too high in pitch....
Thats not the first one of those i have heard of doing that. A friend of mine has a 225 proxs and it has done this too. Guess ya hafta carry spares huh?
Somethin ain't right though, there is a cause...
There is a new record for the Ky Bass or Spotted Bass as they call them everywhere except Ky. This is in Tn. click the link to the article.

I have eaten lunch at their place many times over the last 20yrs or so. I remember when they built the new store, I installed the payphone there. I didn't know Mike personally, but have met him and...
It can be done with a 7' , but if you are just starting, I would recommend the longer rod, 9'6" or 10'. the longer rod makes it sooooo much easier.
Those London boys are "Good Ole Boys". Used to work with a few of em. Good guys !
I'm guessing, but I would say there is no "trade-in" program for the chips. In some cases you can update the software on the chip. Other than that I'd guess you would just have to sell it and buy...
Yes very sad;
It is beyond my comprehension how so many people don't realize the risk of being in a boat in cold water, and its not just teenagers.
