Well we below the dam today in hopes of catching a few skipjack. I'm fairly new at this, most of the time I use live bluegill for cats, but have seen many folks having success with frozen skipjack...
Do yourself a favor, and don't hesitate about taking Dave's class. My father and I took it a few years ago, and it was the best money I have ever spent on fishing in my life. Dave is a super nice...
x2 on this one....couldn't have said it better. :D
Well said !!
Thanks alot Chuck. I think we may go Friday, I will let you guys know how it goes.

Do you guys mind if I ask where this place is ?
My father loves to catch sauger, so I'd like to take him out pretty soon.
I haven't been down that way in a couple of years at least. I assume...
IMHO, it depends on the types of cranks you are throwing. If it's a small crank, or relatively shallow runner..I think you benefit more from a lighter rod, and lighter line. In contrast, if you are...
I highly suggest you check out the maps made by Atlantic Mapping Company. I bought one of KY Lake North, and it is truly amazing...every other map I have come across are garbage compared to these. ...
Great Catch......
Bibs and Parka are sold. Liner is still available for 55 bucks to your door.
Scary stuff gents....
Man I sure hope you have better luck than I did last Saturday, It was very tough for me....I ended up with 7 or 8, but only managed one keeper fish all day.
All but one came on a drop shot, but...
Please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but it's been my understanding that landowners don't own Ky waterways....if you came into a creek/stream from a public access point, or from land you have...
Rod is Sold.
Posted this also if anyone here is interested.

Thanks for looking. :D
it was still pretty bad last week going down main street by the dam. Haven't been up the creek, so I can't say for sure about the rest of the creek, but by the dam it was still pretty covered.
nice point FF, I often wondered the same thing about my Loomis GLX flippin stick...You guys think it could handle it ?
Thx dw, found a similar thread to this one, lots of good info in there.
Hey guys, I have never been to dale, so I'm planning a trip sometime next year. As I'm a complete novice to this lake, I had a couple questions for you avid anglers....
What time of the year do...
Nice Post and good info. Kudos to the Misses :) I hope people pay attention to this.
x2, thx for the great info.
x2 on Dave Stewart. One hell of a great guide, and an even better person. You WILL NOT be disappointed.
I booked a trip down there this spring, and had the best trip I've ever had down there. ...
Keep an eye on ebay and craigslist as well as the pawn shops. The stuff, or at least some of it, will likely show up there. At least if it does happen to show up online, you will have a starting...
Was down there Sunday, water temps were in the very high 70's to low 80's. Water was also very clear. We certainly had our better bite in the morning, once the sun got up a bit they slowed way...
I've found that when I set the hook with a sweeping motion, to the side, the hook up ratio is alot better than just jerking up on the rod. This helped me.
Just My opinion tho.
Put in at Smith Ridge @ 8 yesterday, water was pretty much clear with temps around 73 in the morning, and climbing near 80 by mid afternoon. Only boated four bass all day, with the biggest going...
+1 on this for sure.
Thanks for the tip mate, I'll certainly keep that in mind. :)
Thinking of heading down there this weekend, and as I have never been there, I wanted to ask the experts (that's you guys :)). Anything about the lake I should watch out for while out ?
We'll be...
I'm afraid I can't offer you any spots, just a few words of caution.
Make sure your navigation lights work and are on if on the river at night.
Tie off/Anchor close to shore, and watch the...
El Sato, with a buzzbait.
I haven't approached an 11 yet either, 8.5 is my best to date. I don't know about you guys, but there is no better feeling in the world to me like sticking a pig...snapping photos/videos of her,...
and from the broken english...i'd say from someone in a hut in some jungle....
I use the navonics app for my phone, works great, don't need a gps on the boat. 10 bucks isn't bad either IMO.
heard this one this Friday, and it fits quite well.
"I have never lost a bass that wasn't at least 5 pounds...." --
I had a trip planned to Kincaid a few years ago, and was wondering if I could even put my 18fter w/150 hp motor on the lake. Everyone I had talked to said no...so I called the game warden over that...
5 bucks to launch.
You can go down about half a mile before you hit the dam.
You can go up for a couple miles before you hit the fork in the creek.
If you go right at the fork (Strodes Creek),...
Dude, those things are awesome...a must for thick cover. Art was right on about giving them time to get it down before you cross their eyes. They are by far my favorite way to catch them topwater. ...
hope you didn't waste a trip, because that is exactly what it was...a raging mudhole.
I use power pro super 8 slick in a neon green, man u can see this stuff in the dark. The best I have found for visibility. I had the same problem with the green braid...seems really hard for me to...
I too will take a few, and also live in the Louisville Area (Valley Station). PM me, or send an email.
Thanks
I personally love super slick 8, way better than original power pro IMO. Also, I've found that if I use a mono backfill on the baitcasters, it helps with the line digging into the spool after a fish...

Thanks for the heads up :)
after the rain, probably up and muddy. I'm hoping not, I'm hoping to get out there this weekend myself. In those situations, I've found that most of the time Ike's is generally clearer than...
Page loads and photos are considerably faster for me....here at work at least. Will check it out from home tonight, on a much better connection.
I mounted mine in the same place and have had no issues at all so far. :)
Well, since you "read" the article...and didn't learn anything at all new, you must already know all there is about jig fishing. I personally found the article informative, which is why i stated...
