I think it all depends on the situation. I've plunked down $800 for a tarpon trip for just me and the family. Hard to come up with another 15% on top of that with just one paying customer aboard. If...

Was at the Cave a couple of weeks ago. Trolled mostly around the flats because my partner had hooked a nice one a couple of days earlier. We didn't do much (bluebird skies) . We'd pick up a small...

Any thoughts on the strategy for the Muskies this fall with the stunted weed growth?

Should I stay on the main flats and other areas where I know weeds were in the past and just fish over the...

I had the same problem. Sounds like the "bow" in you axel is gone, causing the wheels to flare out too much with the weight of the boat, thus riding on the edges. I took it to Lexington Hitch &...

Any news on the muskie bite? Can't get a report from the guide's websites anymore.

I went last Friday, and it was still slow for me. Raised two on spinnerbaits, in shallow patchy weeds. Planning...

Good question. I've wondered that myself. However, we do best in Mid/Late April. Maybe the older (larger) ones stay home and avoid the traffic (?)

Anybody got a hybrid report for the lower end of Herrington around the dam? April has been the month in the past, but our only trip this month was a bust. Nothing but dead shad all around us. Still...

Look up Cpt Dan Van Treese, Perfect Cast Charters for some back bay fishing. awesome redfish, specks, flounder

I haven't been able to eat talipia since the "Dirty Jobs" episode showing how they were raised.

I have a SS prop from a 1988 Suzuki 150, that I would like to use on my 1993 Evinrude 150, which is a bit dinged up. I'd have to look closer on the pitch, etc to compare.They look a little different....

I'm glad someone else notices that. His shtick is getting old. Bring back Shuffett!

What's the story on GRL 'skies? I haven't been for a couple of years, but late October, early November was pretty good.

Wish is was there TODAY with this front moving in.

Thanks

Looking to replace my Motorguide Brute 55. Been good to me but looking to upgrade. I had the MinnKota Power drives from long ago. Thought they were crap.

Want: Bow mount, 24V, 75-100 lb thrust or...

The Scott Van Pelt look alike went down like a wet sack of flour. Did he faint from fear?

Is the dumpster still blocking the ramp at Riptides?

Wife is buying me a new fish finder for the front of the boat for Christmas. All I have to do is pick one out, order it, install it, and learn how to use it. :D I'm not intrested in GPS and would...

Yes 24V. Its about 10 years old.

24V 55lb thrust Motorguide Brutewill stop working if I run it continuously for 4-5 minutes at a high speed. Even if set in the "continuous" setting on the selector switch. If I give it time it starts...

I have a 18.5 ft 1990 Cajun with a 1993 Evinrude 150. The steering is once again very stiff. I had new cable put on twice and they were greased once.
Any ideas? It's to the point of being dangerous...

Is the ramp at Rip Tides (below Boonesboro on the KY river) open? There was a detached dock blocking it from the spring flooding.

Thanks

Personally, as a player, coach, and soccer dad, I love the soccer EPL games from England. Its a good move by ESPN. If you want 24/7 hunting and fishing, get VS and the Outdoor Channel. I would bet...

Anyone know somebody who can install a pump impeller on my 1993 Evinrude 150 for less than the boat dealer mechanics? I have the part, but chickened out on installing it myself.

I hear the main river around central KY is a bit muddy. Are the creeks "greening" up?

Thanks

If I hit the water believing I'm going to absolutly kill them, perfect conditions, right time of year, etc., it ends disappointingly.

If I go without much confidence, I get very surprised.

Anyone know what the best glue for repairing my Bulldawg, Swimmin' Joe, etc?

I have the regular "krazy glue" or Cyanoacrylate, which doesn't seem to work all that well. Are the glues sold as bait...

Thanks again for the input. It will be hard for me to give up my braided. It doesn't twist or kink as bad as mono and I can yank lures out of trees and under rocks with out breaking off. And it lasts...

Thanks for the advice. I'm beginning to think roller bearing also. I assume the roller spins around this bearing thus reducing the "drag" I'm feeling as I wind in the lure?

I normaly only use...

I have a small Quantum spinning reel for wading creeks (~ 100yds/6lb) which I spool with 14 lb braided (4 lb diameter). Something is wrong with it where is hard to reel in with any type of lure(load)...

What's the story on the morning jumps? Any action? Points?

Thanks

Just in time for my 4-day weekend:(

I need the same for my boat, but don't want to pay an un-holy per hour rate. I even have the part (impeller) but scared to do it myself.

Anyone around Lexington who can do this for a fair price?...

Are there any live bait stores left in Lexigton?

Thanks

Is there a boat ramp in Onedia where Goose Creek dumps into the KY river?

Thanks

Sounds like the bass bite has been slow, any word on the musky action? I'm considering tomorrow with this front moving in.

Thanks for the help. I'll check out the guide feet of some other spares I have to get an idea. My guess is that its a mm OD or ID as Dpage said.

BTW its a 6'4" Abu Garcia jerk-bait muskie rod, at...

Anyone know the correlation between rod guide (casting) size and their diameter?

I need to replace a guide of known diameter but not sure what the proper "size" is

Thanks

I love deer season. No one's on the lake!

Try for bluefish at about dark-thirty off the piers. They can be ravenous when they school up and a Gotcha is the ticket

Bring Back Shuffett. He was a real hoot. Famer's a bit stiff.

Smallmouth?

Walleye?

Muskie?

Pike?

Go to Crow lake near Nestor Falls for smallies. Lake of the Woods is right across the highway. Best muskie lake in the world IMO.

It might have been a gar. The river is stuffed with them.

Try Clay Lick Campground. YOu can boat right up to it. Its primative but accessible.

Night bassing can be pretty good. Fish the banks close to the river channel with plastics and a blacklight

I've fished above #10 for many years. Muskie actions was very good for awhile, but has been very poor the last 4-5 years. I liked twitch baits like a Grandma or a Shallow Raider around laydowns.

Last year I got 30+ on a buzzer. Somewhere around 1/2 were 12" or above
4-5 were 17+. Best day I had in 20 years on the creek.

I think you catch the bigger more agressive fish, but if the're not...

I fish the KY quite a bite for muskies in the Spring. 4-5 years ago I used to do very well. One time I had 7 on and 4 in the boat out of one creek. But, that has come to a screeching halt in the last...

Again, I like braided. But I throw top water 90% of the time so spooking fish with non-mono line really doesn't worry me.

I love the feel, strength and resistance to twisting. 14 lb Power Pro w/...

Thanks for the reply

I was using 14 lb braided, 4 lb diameter. ( I love braided line on my creek gear. It twists less and you can yank your lure out of trees with out breaking off)

I believe...
