Things may have changed with the reopening but I recall that at one time this was a fairly short ramp. Y’all be careful.
Today bought a locking gas cap . . . first time since the 1970s.
Thanks! Was planning to troll for hybrids tomorrow so your report is helpful. The white bass run has been hit or miss.
Yesterday a dealer told me that Alweld has an 18 month backlog on orders . . . Yamaha & Suzuki outboards take 6 months. Good grief.
Wednesday just a few whites from quarry to bridge. F&W gill netting some nice saugeyes though.
Probably eat at Patti’s every evening
Which begs the question . . . can the marinas charge whatever the market will bear? $15-20 to launch would seem to be in excess of what it costs to maintain a ramp and make a fair profit. Do the...
Last year they ran on the Dix before the Salt and the Salt was very hit or miss.
Thanks. Yes, I’m trying to put in close to Tanyard (Red Gate) since the hybrid fishing has been good there. Herrington Marina is only a half mile away so certainly is my preference for launching. ...
A buddy says the marina has raised their ramp fee from $10 to $20. Ouch. Any advice on the closest nearby public ramp? Kennedy is a bit far with a 6HP.
Let’s keep emptying those jails.
Don’t expect any ‘all clear’ signal this summer. If the governor believed that social distancing in a boat in the middle of a lake wasn’t safe he would close the boat ramps. Staying at home is one...
At only $5 I ordered two. Arrives in Sept but free shipping. Thanks!
My Berkeley digital scale went kaput after only about a year. When the bass bite gets skinny I enjoy a little summer catfishing so something capable of reading up to 50 would meet the need. Anyone...
Is the canal an issue?
Curious if anyone has used a Cincinnati area guide for catfishing . . .
“The program will be fully funded by boat registration fees.”
Sounds as though we can expect an increase. I’m good with that. First year in several that I didn’t bother to fish Kentucky and...
Thanks for the tips. Some days I drag a hair jig while bass fishing and pick up a few crappie. I may have to get a little more serious 🙂.
Nice setup . . . looks efficient. The umbrella was a...
The 5hp gasoline engine limit has been in effect for as long as I can remember. Bass boats can use a trolling motor.
All bass are catch & release. Last time I looked the state had okayed taking...
In those 800 years the membership fee has risen to $1K the first year ($800 initial + $200 annual). Ouch.
Club rules prohibit jug fishing.

My thoughts exactly. After the winner slammed a couple of bass into the boat I turned it off. Bassmasters does not seem inclined to incentivize the proper handling of fish or at least...
As a concession to age and arthritis I put an electric winch on the trailer. Probably should put a rope ladder in the boat for the 'man overboard' predicament since the hips are not original...
The great white herons, also known as egrets, are common around the mud flats at the Van Buren ramp but less so on the main lake.
Don't know the man but respect runs both ways . . . rather than light him up on a message board why not give him a call? Should be easy to reach given he is a guide.
Good post. I suppose I need to change my ways too. Which begs the question . . . if only connecting the charger to one battery lengthens the charging time, is the discharge time affected by how,...
All resorts??? Certainly not the case at Blue Licks SP . . . outstanding buffet at a reasonable price. Nice folks too.
This past Monday I emailed Fish & Wildlife regarding the FINS schedule for Jacobson Lake in Lexington & received this reply,
"The trout stocking has been put on hold until further notice , but...
Very optimistic . . . the 15 cat limit is too little too late. While there are still nice blues to be had their initial stockings have been negatively impacted by the 'fill the boat' attitude that...
"Unless one is born to a wealthy family, the use of credit is really the only way one can begin to accumulate wealth."
Not even close. Our grandparents saved, invested, and would never consider...
Spot on, George.
Make boat payments to yourself and use them to buy the next upgrade. It's a fundamental lesson we can teach our children . . . you don't build wealth by going into debt. It...

Thanks for posting, Steve. I'll be catfishing Barkley next month and in years past have had some difficulty with snagging snake weights while bottom bouncing. Your method may be the ticket.
My first wife was a tennis player. Love meant nothing to her.
About a block from the house last week when a lady backed out of her driveway and t-boned the trailer. Hoping that the insurance co. will see fit to replace the trailer with a new one. I've always...
If it makes you feel any better I missed the sign last year too. I recall that it was somewhat obscured by a tree that was overdue for a haircut.
Seems only fair given that the fish stocked in Ellerslie often find their way to Jacobson. I always thought that the culvert was a one-way street :)
"You can launch your jonboat at the ramp for a $3 fee ... but it cannot have a gas powered motor on it."
Actually, it can have a gas powered motor on it . . . you just can't use it. No need to...
I was looking at the leaderboard over at bassmaster.com and didn't see UK on the list of teams competing on Day 1. I've seen posts in the past here talking about UK's team so I assume that they have...
Sure glad that you didn't catch a fish on that first cast or otherwise it might have turned out differently . . . :)
Oh, great. Now I have to buy a snake rod to go along with the frog rod.
An owl in full stealth mode came in from behind and plucked my buzzbait off the surface about 20' in front of the boat. As he banked and flew back past I shouted and he released it. Thankfully,...
The Cincy boat/travel/fishing show is also next weekend . . . odd that they would be on the same weekend.
I used to fish it when my son was young. We would rent a lakeside cabin and spend the day fishing while the wife would shop Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. One of those great vacation spots where there is...
You musta read my mind. Since I don't hunt (and the website looks to be 90% hunting related) is it really worth the gas and the admission $ for fishermen who don't care to look at antlers? Besides...
You want the front bait to nip at the surface from time to time so I don't weight it. On the trailing bait I use a hook lightly weighted near the front of the hook. No hard and fast rules on rigging,...
Also called the 'double fluke' . . . most fish will hit the trailing bait. Also experiment with hooking the fluke point side down instead of coming out the back.
Just back from a guided trip on the New River, WV, which is a top SM fishery. Most productive lures were buzzbaits at the top of rapids, senkos in the ripples, and flukes in the eddies. Hammered the...
Couldn't find it on the shelf at BP yesterday. Is it only available by order?
Here's the best one I've seen. It illustrates and describes the knot as well as showing an animation of how it is tied.
