Woolco had the green 202's for about the same price, lol.
Man, i'm gettin old
Sorry to hear about your luck. What was the water temp? I believe that it may be too early yet, but at least you gave it a shot
I've seen em'. 2-3 years ago in a Peabody pit.
About the size of a nickel. There were thousands.
cool site Jason. I am also a member of PFF. (Kygent). I always look forward to your posts/reports. We usually head to Orange Beach in October so I can fish the pass for Reds and spanish. Wouldn't...
You have PM Rick
If it were me, I'd hit Nolin for some trout below. Corn and garlic cheese. They shouldn't be pullin very hard since its close to winter pool, so it should be fishable.
went to rough last sat,...
Looking to head to Ky lake for some sauger fishing. Probably be in the canal. Any tips or suggestions would be great. TYVM
start with your anti-ventilation plate even with your bottom
Right now I'm using Berkley Big Game. Decent line and priced right. The best mono I've had was the Sufix Tritanium Plus (which sadly I can't find anymore), was soft and limp but would hold a...
never treied vaseline but pam cooking spray works really well. It does however leave a bit of sticky film on it.
Not sure about the stripers but you can NOT fish from the bank due to construction
Hard to say. Last year wasn't the best for me either. I do believe the bite will start earlier than usual because of the cooler temps we have had this summer/fall.
One thing that I do know for...
Ahhh...I'm fighting this as we speak also, but I have it in both arms :eek:
Let me tell you, it ain't no fun when you have reservations about setting the hook. It has really affected my fishing...
51 lb blue with 12 lb suffix tritanium +
lots of cats and carp over 20 with 4 lb. mr crappie camo
I appreciate all the info, will give those a try. Gonna be a scorcher over the weekend, everyone stay cool and safe!
thanks
Morning all, I will be down to the resort on Ky. lake this weekend. Is there anywhere I could wet a line with the kids from the bank? I really don't care what we catch just something to bend their...
State of emergency here in Owensboro (daviess co.). No power to about 3/4 of the population (including me). Kenergy says it might be 2-3 weeks before power is fully restored. Crappy situation to...
Finally got to talk to my buddy at the bait shop in Hawesville. He said that the bank was still open for fishing at the dam since the power company hasn't started construction as of yet.
He...
since epoxy doesn't flex when cured, I doubt that that would work very well (unless the rip is small and in an area that wouldn't flex much). I really don't know how to do it, maybe a dab or two of...
Well, if your looking for "scenery", you will be disappointed. Preparing for construction of the new hydro dam and power house they pretty much have stripped the bank bare of anything (quite ugly). ...
I very rarely use minnows, but there are times when they are needed.
I either tie on one 1/16 or double rig 2 - 1/32 w/ diff colors.
always 4# line on 7' rods
Rejex............thats all the saltwater guys use on their boats. I'd say that if it can stand up to that environment, we shouldn't have much worries
Can you say S L O W ?
We ended up there late monday morning. Talked to a couple of locals who said that it has really stunk this year. Needless to say the bite was non-existent. They had 1...
The NOAA charts seem to say that the river will be unaffected by the rain. As dry as it has been I'd say that a lot of the rain soaked in. There may be a bit of trash floating but nothing that...
If you're lucky enough to get the gate spot first, its around a 30-40ft. toss. If you are nto on that spot it is still only a bit further, I have no trouble reaching it with a 1/4 oz. sauger jig.
...
Yes, you can catch stripers from the bank at the ****. The directions may fool you because Willamette has been bought out. Look for the sign on hwy 60 that says Domtar. Take a right and go ~2-3...
Thanks Rudy, I kinda figured that with all the flooded timber it might kinda scatter the fish if you could even get to them.
With the water temps creeping up to 50, I would think the blacks...
Since the weather may have finally turned, I'm looking to hit rough in the next week or two. With the water still around 10' over summer pool, are there trees in the water? Looking to try for...
With about 4-5 in. of snow here in Owensboro, who's out and about playin or workin in this stuff?
Me, I'm shoveling it here at work right now (just takin a break :) )
Hopefully be outta here in...
Rap, there is a nice ramp in hawesville. Not sure of the street name but you have to cross the rr tracks and go through the flood wall. (maybe the third street on the right if you're coming from...
Pam cooking spray works well for me, but it gets pretty sticky if you don't wipe it off when your done. Just spray on rod guides and your good to go, I don't believe that I would do it on my reels...
The river is still a bit high for my taste, monday it should be fishable from the bank.
Your pond/lake may be frozen over a bit, but I have "broken" out some places with a 2 oz. sinker and done...
I've got an old aluminum prop for a minn kota 565 I believe. Isn't rude and minn kota owned by the same people like mercury and motorguide are? could be wrong but if not it might just fit
Hey Boone, PM me and we can talk
Ok, that sounds great! I will be at Helms landing next weekend.
I havn't fished much without generators going (only go down once a year), is there enough water to run a boat? or even launch it...
I'm kinda in the same boat you are:D
also looking for info on the water level at helms
If it really comes down to it, you can cut out the drywall in between two studs for the lower unit to slide in. you can then paint the area so that your motor looks like it has it's own personal...
You need to take a bait rod with you to catch some skipjack if your catfishing. Your chances of catching cats are much better if you use fresh cut bait.
Ramp at Rumsey below the lowhead dam at Calhoun
stipers and catfish
-----------------------------------
Ramp at Spotsville above the dam I believe (you must lock through to fish below)
...
So, I'm asumming that there is little to no water left in the river??
Thanks guys, Now all I need is to get out there
Were the skipjack hitting as well? I need bait for the catfish.
I have used the excel once. Maybe I got a bad spool or something, but the memory was way too bad for me. Now I mostly use the Spiderwire super mono EZ in the cl/blue flourescent and am pretty happy...
I know that most guys on here tend to fish for bass but, are the panfish on the beds yet at your favorite hole? Full moon is on wednesday and I've got the itch to put some in the freezer.
I know this is stupid, but what about your kill switch?
Haven't tried the KVD stuff but have been using Reel Magic and like it. I just soak a rag in it and re-spool my line holding the rag as a line tensioner. Takes all the chalk off as it conditions it.
Just checked, water temp is 42. Should still be o.k. for a couple more weeks. Right now it is around 19' so watch out for drift and be careful in the current. get home safe
I usually quit around the end of Feb. whats the water temp at Cannelton? Once it gets above 50 it should slow down tremedously
Yet? IMO I believe that it is about to be done.
Also, If your thinking about taking you boat....don't. I'm kinda nuts sometimes but it is a bit high for me right now, too dangerous.
Once the...
