Wrong about Laurel. I've seen plenty of 25lb sacks there. My personal best came out of that lake prefishing for a BFL in April a couple years ago and it was a couple ozs from 9lbs. I was sick...

Go to Rough.

Not sure of an exact number but other than the BFL and Renegade going out of the north. One KY Lake the other at Barkley, there was a big ABA classic out of Paris, a world series of bass out of...

Wayne is a heck of a guy. I had heard that most of the biggest fish down there had already spawned. I bet that thing would have been around 12.

Sounds like you need to go over there and start learning a little bit about it. LOL. When you went to Barren your first time did you know anything about it? I have gone to lakes all over the...

I think that there were 12 boats total. It would have been nice to see more there especially for a good cause.

There are some good schooling fish in the backs of the southern bays that will hit shallow cranks and topwater. I was there Saturday and caught over 50. They were mostly 12 to 14" fish and I only had...

I have a left handed Shimano Castaic flipping reel that has never seen the water. I spooled it up with braid and have made some practice pitches with it in the front yard. I never could get use to...

That's what they say. LOL!! We hope to tie into some fish over 10 pounds. My buddy that has been down there has caught a 12 and said the likelyhood of getting one over 10 is very high. He caught his...

I stand corrected. I thought he was talking about Fork since the OP was asking about it or KY Lake. I'm going to Falcon in Feb.

Fork has a 16 to 24 inch slot and only one fish in a 5 fish limit can be over 24 so the other 4 have to be under 16. Unless everyone is catching 16 and 17 pound fish ( the lake record is 18 ) how are...

That has been the story of my summer on Nolin and Barren. This past sunday there was a good shallow bite. And when I say shallow I mean if you were not kicking up mud with the trolling motor you were...

You can use o-rings from Home Depot or Lowes. You will find all different sizes in the plumbing department and a pack will be cheaper then the mark up with that little tool that you don't need. Just...

I use it on a spinning reel for my shakey heads. I have used it without a leader in stained water like when your up the river or creeks on Nolin and had good luck with it. But 90% of the time I have...

This has been sold. Thanks

I have a brand new Minn Kota Edge 55 pound thrust foot control trolling motor for sale. I won this at a tournament and don't have a small boat that I would use it on. It is a 12 volt motor and would...

I noticed the 18" smallmouth too. Have they raised the size limit for smallies on KY and Barkley? I just fished a BASS Weekend series this past weekend and we were not told about an 18" limit on the...

I also include bluff walls.

Are you sure they were not gizzard shad? They get over 6 to 8". I have foul hooked them as big as 10 to 11" on Nolin up by five fingers.

You and your wife hang in there Billy. Have not had a chance to make it out to Lexington much over the past year but you always made time to give me advice when I needed it. If there is anything I...

He was looking for bedding fish while the co-angler was driving and it was during practice not the tournament. I think the co-angler he was practicing with was his nephew. I remember reading about it...

Welcome to the board!! I fish Lower Douglas alot from my Ranger as well so I might run into you sometime. I mostly fish KY and Barkley but make to Nolin, Barren and Rough from time to time. Keep the...

KVD said it is public water and there is always the chance that somebody will be fishing were you would like to. That is just the way it is and that we (the pros) don't own the lake.

He fishes the ABA pro circuit. I think I have seen him at a BASS open or two. But never anything big like BASS Elite or FLW Tour.

I just picked up my 997 and will be installing it on my boat tonight. I will let you know after this weekend. I am sure there will be a bunch of things to play with as far as settings go but once...

Did you see that fish on a scale or just in the cooler? I have fished a bunch of tournaments on the big lakes over the years and have never seen a tourny were several 8 to 10 pounders have been...

They seem to work good. I use them with a Big Salty Chuck and hop them about a foot off the bottom to get that big profile moving. When they hit bottom and that big skirt spreads out is when the fish...

Being in the finals is awesome!! I think he will pull it out. He will have a good stringer tomorrow.

Yes, WAY TO GO KEVIN!!!

Jeff is from NC. There is some deal on the angler profiles on the FLW site that list him and Tony Christian as being from Benton. Tony is from GA.
Both anglers have been...

I have one. It is okay. It will cast pretty far but no farther than a Chronarch I own several of those and have yet to see the advantage everyone told me I would have with the Ardent. Like Col said...

Otter creek is good for smallmouth in the summer. Nothing big but with light tackle and small jigs or shakey heads you can have a blast. Every now and then you can get into some good Kentuckies or...

Kentucky July 4th weekend
Barren late September
Dale Hollow 1st weekend in December

Radcliff was shaking good.

I was just about to make coffee when everything started to shake. I had deer heads shaking, grandfather clock chiming and beagles howling. Pretty wild. Hope nobody had any damage. One of the...

Go up to the Cabin and get you a Honeybuzz.

I belong to a group called PETA.
People Eating Tasty Animals!!!

Like Grump said. Find out who they support for public office and vote against them. If you don't get out and vote to protect your...

I guess I am pretty lucky. When do you want to go fishing? And to answer your question, yes 20 years and never a problem and I have lived in 4 different cities in two different states in that time...

I have been a life member for nearly 20 years and have never had one magazine from BASS damaged. I would be willing to bet that it is getting tossed around in your local post office or by your...

Halo is a good line. I have also tried the new Berkley pro grade and it seems to be about the same. I used both on different jig rods all year and never had any trouble with either. I also only had...

If you are limiting your choice between the two I would go for the Ranger. I own a 520 and it is hard to beat for ride unless you go with a Champion. You may want to expand your horizons and look the...

Try using braid or Fireline crystal. I have the crystal in 8lb on my shakey head rod. I use about an 8 foot floro leader and it seems to work well. I have not lost any fish and if your leader gets...

It seems like if it is exposed to a lot of sun it gets weak. A couple of years ago I was using it at KY Lake and every good fish that I set the hook on broke off. I was using 20 pound test. I also...

Fishing has been tough for me the past couple of trips because of the dropping water. I have caught them mainly on small jigs, shakey head worms (green pumpkin) and some on spinnerbaits...

I got one of the Metanium Mg7s a couple of weeks ago. It is the Japan market version of the same reel except that it is a different color and has 8 bearings and a 7 to 1 ratio. I have it on a GLX...

Way to go Bill!!

Luke got what he deserved. I don't think you will see Boyd of Kelly try and cause the guy in back to lose a fish by speeding up the t-motor.

Hey Billy, count me in. I need to learn how to catch those big brown fish. I have only caught a few smallies this year at KY Lake. The rest of the time has been on those green fish. Besides I need to...

I agree. It was the best one yet. Last week was not bad either but this weeks was better. Two legends going at it and none of that line biting or trying to cause someone to lose a fish by turning the...

I launched there a couple of weeks ago it was fine. Be careful, there are plenty of things to hit if you get even just a little off of the channel. I got something and now I am getting my lower unit...

Cool. Were do you get yours? I would like to try some out and see if I like them. I like the idea of the keel shaped bottom. Do they have a web site?
