I understand not giving up your honey hole. No problem. I have many. I've caught Many crappie on wax worms at a small lake called Elmer Davis while bluegill fishing. Glad you guys had a good time.

Thank you BC. Guess I'll go down and do my part in controlling the bluegill population then.

Does anyone know if Peabody is open to the public right now?

Believe me, huge fish are in those lakes. Not sure where you were, but I have caught massive fish of every species.

You've given me a goal jcb. A picture of the mythical Elkhorn Creek " gold devil" will be on this site at some point this year.

Jcb, i used to catch by the dozens in elkhorn. Now i can seine all day and I'm lucky to catch 1 or 2. Sad.

Hellgramite populations have plummeted in both Salt River and Elkhorn Creek. Consider yourself lucky if you seine more than a couple.

Thanks guys. I fish primarily out of a float tube, so stealth is not a problem. The " sight" fishing sounds interesting. I've done that with slab bluegill and the monster shellcrackers they have down...

Plan on really focusing on crappie this year at Peabody WMA. I've caught some massive one's while bluegill fishing. Anyone that has fished this WMA knows the water is literally as clear as bath...

Thanks for the reply. Been going there since '94. I haven't noticed the meth labs, but have had many instances where people roll up at 2-3 o'clock in the morning. Don't like that at all. Never fish...

Sorry for the lack of responses CHAD. If you're not asking about Cumberland, Nolin, Taylorsville, or KY/Barkley you're usually ignored on here. Anyway, all fishing on ED has picked up the last few...

Anyone know some water temps in the area? Would love to fill my freezer with some gills.

Not sure if you mean me Goby, but I was at a small lake only a mile or so from hwy 369 on cools springs/wysox rd. KDFWR has done a ton of work in that area.

Bassmaster, I spent last weekend at Peabody, and caught so many bass my thumb is raw from taking them off the hook. Wasn't fishing Island but was only a few lakes away. Also took home some slab...

Has anyone fished Peabody the last week or so? Going down this weekend.

Thanks guys. Those sure would look good next to some coleslaw and hushpuppies. Gonna go after them this weekend.

I live in Frankfort so I am close to 3 & 4. Only have access to the lock side on both.

I am mainly a crappie, bluegill, catfish guy but would love to try my hand at some sauger. I unfortunately don't have a boat. Do most of my fishing from a float tube. So, am I gonna be able to...

Anyone with a report? KY Afield fishing report said Crappie bite is on. May have to check it out this weekend. Any info would be appreciated.

Planning on "float tubing" EDL in the morning. Does anyone know the water temp? Want to know just how cold I am gonna be.

That's really wild. You probably know the area around Musky Lake then. That is my "area" to fish. It was kinda funny. He (you?) just checked my licence and I had a cooler full of SLAB bluegill. ...

I am definitely in. I am in the water when most people are still afraid to even dip their toes in. Got checked by a CO a few years back, and he told me that I was the first person he had ever seen...

CC,
That is a great idea. Never really had thought about "trolling" in my tube. I will definitely try that method. On a calm day I can really cover some water with my flippers.

I am curious...

Thanks WA, I will lock that away and try all your suggestions. I really feel the super clear water in these lakes just makes it a little harder. Crappie are finnicky enough without having me...

CC,
I will most definitely let you know when I am coming out your way. I normally fish in Ohio County and would love to know some spots in Muhlenburg. I usually camp at Musky Lake. Not sure if...

I fish Peabody WMA alot during the year. I have caught some HUGE crappie over the years but have never caught big numbers. I have never really targeted crappie on these lakes. I am more of a...

JC, I know of one huge section that was bought for private use. Local rumors say there is gonna be a hunting/fishing lodge built there. We shall see. It is actually gated off now. Blocking a...

Yes, and thank you. Sent one back if I did it correctly.

Some friends and I are camping and fishing at Peabody WMA next weekend. Has anyone fished these pits in the last few days. Would love to know the water temperature. We are mainly going down for...

Can't figure out the reasoning at all on this one Art. Probably just a way to get some revenue flow through registration. It can't be a safety issue. I have been using one for years and have never...

A friend of mine from Ohio is coming down next weekend to do some camping and fishing at Peabody WMA. I use a float tube when fishing these strip pit lakes and suggested that he may want to buy one...

I love fishing in my float tube, but unfortunately the water starts to get a little rough on certain areas of the anatomy this time of year. Has anyone ever used a wetsuit/diving suit during the...

thanks cp,I kinda figured that. Guess I'll just have to freeze these guys and keep using them for my cats.

Has anyone ever used catalpa worms to fish for crappie? I have access to about 500 worms and was planning a Kentucky river crappie trip this weekend. Just wondering. any help is appreciated.

Blondefish,
Tried E-mailing you at the above address, was sent back. E-mail me at ronaldgcombs@yahoo. Then I'll send you a reply and see if it works that way.

blondefish,
Peabody WMA in Ohio/Muhlenburg counties is a really nice place for some nice bass. Going down this weekend myself. All primative (free) camping. Won't cost anything but the gas money...

OK guys, remember this was a completely HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION for those of you ready to put my mugshot on the post office wall. I was just having an argument with a guy about this possible scenario...

If you catch a LEGAL 10 inch smallmouth in Elkhorn creek, and want to put it in a fish tank, but for some reason are "caught" with this fish later(in your tank), can KDFWR ticket you?

And for all...

Jughead,

Just go "noodlin'". Loads of fun and a real rush.

Danny,

I am probably gonna set-up camp at Musky Lake. Haven't been in a few weeks. Hope it hasn't been "sold off" since the last time I was there. Just going down to "get away" and maybe fill...

Going camping/fishing this weekend at Peabody WMA. Anyone got a report? Any help is appreciated.

Could someone tell me whether or not catfish are nesting yet on Taylorsville?

Any help is appreciated.
...

Peabody, peabody, peabody.

Numbers and quality. Best I've ever seen. Better hurry and fish it while we can guys, peabody land is selling like "hotcakes" right now.

Planning on fishing this weekend at EDL on Sunday. Does anyone know if there is a tournament that day? Don't want to be anywhere near if there is.

thanks smljaw

Haven't had a chance to run by the creek since the recent rain. How hard is the creek flowing today? Love fishing for 'cats when the water is up.

Danny, I noticed that access to Ken Lake (Ken Hopewell, Ohio Co.)is now gated off, and has private property on the gates. Is this part of the 6,000 that you are talking about? Ken lake is an...

No. Wrong Ron.

Looking for the "old" type of Peabody maps. The new ones that KFW are distributing, only have the roads. The old ones have the roads and lakes printed on them. If anyone has an extra, I sure...

anyone got a fishing report for peabody. Going down camping/fishing this weekend. Need to know if the crappie are spawning yet. any help is appreciated
