Reminds me of happening of a time a few years ago that I combined sauger-walleye fishing with catfishing below Greenup dam.Caught a skipjack,cut it in half and threw it out on a bottom rig and was...

Catch a few walleye every spring-fall below Greenup.Most I ever caught in one trip was 3 including one which was just under 7 lb.There should be more below Byrd lock and dam as there are at...

At Greenup the water is up 10' or so in the last couple days,think this will end my fishing for 2012.The sauger fishing was good before the river came up.Cold weather is getting harder on me last...

Thanks for reply.Story on sauger fishing in the Ashland newspaper stated 6,Was pretty sure he was wrong

Have the sauger-walleye limits for the Ohio river been changed from 10 to 6?

Have been catching limits of sauger below Greenup Dam late evening and night.Have landed only one walleye this fall

Fished the spillway area Monday 11-20,would have liked to try the hatchery ground but was too late as they want you out by dark.Tried the area just above the boat ramp but there was so much grass and...

Have some spare time tomorrow afternoon and going to try the Cave Run spillway area,anybody got any information,sauger crappy,walleye or anything else that might be targeted?
Thanks,
Jake

The two spool bearings are important,any more become less important as the numbers increase.I still use reels with no bearings and find they still work very well.

Fluorocarbon doesn't have a place in my fishing gear.It's stiffer and harder to handle than mono and I don't believe that the supposed less viability is a valid reason to use it.Are we to believe...

Fish a lot by myself on some pretty rough rocks which can get pretty slick and in some places are as steep as a cliff.Do a lot of fishing at night but usually have a buddy with me then but if no one...

Guess Asians can have different taste,my sister in law from Taiwan loves catfish.
Several years ago I got up early one morning and walked along the St Andrews bay with some shrimp and a small...

Haven't had much luck this year in muddy water this year but white with red firetail seems to work better for me.Think larger twisters at least 4-5 inch work better in muddy water.
Jake

Looks like Friday the river and weather are cooperating for a trip to the dam,
will plan on going.Give me a heads up and will try to meet up with you at the dam sometime.Ralph,the buddy I fish with...

Jig head colors don't make much difference but size does when fishing over the rocks.Need one that will just barely stay on the bottom.Best colors are chartreuse,white with orange and pink working...

It's been hit or miss for me at Greenup this year.Most trips it is either a easy limit or a bust with nothing.Got there one day when jastew and his buddies were leaving,left without any.Think I will...

Thanks for the report.Meldahl is a little out of my range,about a 100 miles or so,never fished the dam but would like to try it sometime if the sauger can be got at from shore.
Jake

If looking for cheap that works well the Abu black max and silver max work good.Fished a black max for two seasons until the pawl-worm gave out about a month ago.This was probably my fault as I...

Far as I know you can fish as many rods as you want in KY.I fish the Ohio side of the river quite a bit where one is only allowed two.Am not sure about the complete rules but will sometimes carry...

After being dragged in with a net the fish was probably dead or in too bad a shape to survive,no use throwing it back.Don't know all the rules and regulations for commercial fishing but do know...

99% of the time I am using jigs in some way,almost never use minnows but they may be the best sauger and walleye bait.Most of the time there will be either a white or chartreuse curly tail on it.Pink...

Had three good trips with limits the last couple weeks,one with two walleye
in the bunch.Tried the river with the water high Thursday,got nothing.River is dropping enough for a trip tomorrow...

I don't fish Destin or Ft Walton but have made a fall trip to Panama City Beach most years since the mid 1980's.Usually don't take a boat but do at times to fish the bays and near shore.Stayed 2...

Do more fishing from mid October until May than I do the rest of the year so winter don't bother me,just the condition of the Ohio river.Most of my fishing is for sauger and walleye and saltwater....

Years ago I was able to get deer damage tags to thin out deer when they became too destructive,are these still available?
Jake

Fished Thursday night with live bait,only thing caught were a couple drum about 10 lb each.
Jake

Fished the Cave Run tailwaters a few days ago with no luck.Some fishing with live bait were getting a few cats and bluegill.One young boy got a nice cat.
Been wondering if there are sauger and...

Havent caught all the species but from what I have it is jack creval from saltwater and hybrids from fresh.
Jake

Is there a decent place to fish lock 11 from the Clark county side?Don't plan on fishing there much as it is quite a drive for me but would like to try one trip.
Thanks,
Jake

Like to fish for walleye but the only place that I have been fishing lately is the Ohio river.Don't think I got a one last year but got quite a few sauger in the spring.The fall before got wuite a...

Thanks for the report,glad you caught some good fish even if it was a little slow.I haven't had much luck with sauger this past fall and winter.What part of the river were you fishing,boat or bank?...

Don't know what line you are using but for sauger and walleye fishing with small jigs I switched from 8 lb. to 10 lb. mono a couple years ago ,can feel more hits and and get a lot more hook ups.Am...

Thanks for the report,good fishing.
Jake

Don't know much about walleye fishing but catch a few out of the Ohio river throwing small jigs with twister tails for sauger.My attempts at targeting walleye in the lakes have so far been a...

Learned to cast the old knuckle buster baitcasters in about 1946 when about 7 years old.Did get a Zebco 33 in about 1960 to cast the light Rapala's.Still keep a couple 33's for my wife to use.For my...

If you have trolled in the gulf you might be familiar with Mann's Stretch 25's
or Bomber 26A's.They should go 25' deep at 2.5 mph.Never tried them here but they should be good for stripers.
Jake

Hope someone catches some.At this time of the year my freezer is stocked with enough sauger to last until mid March when I start fishing again,this fall and winter not one sauger went in the...

Think you will find fishing under the Hathaway disappointing,don't plan a full day here.Try the two commercial piers and St.Andrews park.From the park you can fish a free pier,nice jetty and walk out...

Think they went into hibernation this winter.

He grew up about five miles down the road from me.Was in my son's high school graduating class.

Use mostly bucktail but tie a few with deer belly hair and squirrel tail.Would use some feathers and rabbit hair if I happened to run across some.Use some synthetic hair for color a little.
Jake

I fish Greenup Dam,this is has been the worst year for sauger in a long time for me.Between the weather and the river being high haven't got much fishing in.What few times that I fished,didn't catch...

I can dig up a 711 green out of the basement,fifty bucks.

Paint on a jig head is over rated.Never seen a jig that was lucky enough to be bounced over rocks for a few hours that had paint on the bottom side.I have over the years used a lot of jigs without...

Looked threw the on line catalog but couldn't find skins or covers.
Jake

Two is all I want to handle for a start,will try it with what I have and see if it works out.Hope to get them done soon as I fish all winter as long as I can find both air and water temperature above...

I have plenty of popular and cedar to work with.My first attempt might not be good as I am completely new to using boards and any wood used will be hard to seal.Have looked at several plans on the...

Hate to here he is not doing well as he has already had enough problems for a hundred people.

What size planer boards do most use here in our Kentucky lakes?Fellow I fish with uses them on Erie about 24"to 28" but says we don't need them that big for our smaller lakes.Plan on making a set...
