He's not in Louisville area, but a buddy off mine owns "REEL CLEAN" He goes by "the Ledgend" on here. He builds and repairs rods. Might want to check with him. T
The Legend, on this site, is really good. He cleans/repairs reels, and builds/rebuild rods. Dependable and honest.
I can send you web site if your intrested. He's located in Edmonson Co. about 20...
The lake jumped about 12-15 feet the 4th, they've got it pulled down, but I have'nt been able to locate anything
over 12"-14". Those seem to be on rock banks, and points. With this heat, I'd try big...
Yeah, Terry Lee is still doing them. they are from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. lake yime. $35 a boat.... TR
If you had rather have some one do it, Cris Newkirk, known as "the Ledgend" on here builds rods. I've seen several he built, and he re-did one of my old rods, and he does really great work. honest...
I have a 150 Johnson, '03 model, I switched from Johnson oil to Penzoil about 3 years ago, and it runs fine.
yeah i plan on it. Fished last fri. Only caught slots, but hodges caught a 20.9 lb flat head, about 9:30. We weighed it and turned it loose. It was full of eggs.... Tr
Went a little while Sun. fished back in the creeks, due to holiday traffic. caught 3, 2 were small, 1 went 2.5 lbs.
temps are between 74 and 76, lake is right at summer pool. the one I caught were...
I'm thinking the 1st week of May, but give Big Chevy a hollar, in the thread above this one, he helps put it on too..t
In 2 weeks, if the warming trend that is starting tomorrow holds, tepms should be around 48* The lower end, say from Red Rock down should be your best bet. I can't ehlp much, the ground hogs are all...
you might want to try main lake coves, i'd pick the ones the wind is blowing toward, try small
c.b..s spinnerbaits and maybe a shakeyhead.
I generally use rattlers, like strike-king and bombers f.f.shads, DD-22's. but, if I'm fishin a tourn. or right after one,
I try the silent ones, I fugure the fish have been pressured, and will shy...
that's why there was'nt many "jumps" this year, the fish were'nt jumping, try to get away from you!!!! Tr
it's still slow. i fished the wax tourn. fri night, the 7th, a 3lb'er won it, no 2lber's weighed, and a 1.38 won 3rd!!
only 5 fish weighed. i got between 83.4 and 84 in water temps. saw about a...

NEWTON'S RIGHT ON. I USE POWER-PRO TIED TO P-LINE, AND I'VE USED THEM SAME LEADER UNTIL IT GOT TOO SHORT, ALSO, IF I'M...
"the legend" who is a member of this site has a reel cleaning, and rod making business. He's done
work on some of my reels and a rod, and did a good job. Decent prices, and the main thing, he's ...
don't really know, a buddy went to the weigh-in, we did'nt get to fish it, he said he had heard every one was catching them between 8' and 12'. That's a really big change from 22' 2 weeks ago... Tr
it's at or right below summer pool, the corp. Has been pulling some, i guess to keep nolin and green river flowing some. Lake temp is down to low 80's. The team that won the nolinfest tourn. Last ...
why in the wide world of sports would you catch flack for trying to keep fish alive???
I'm glad he thought of it. Keep on, keepin on, if someone gripes about that, they would would
probaby find...
i'd stay at leitchfield, they've got a motel right by w.k. Pk-way, it's only about 8-10 miles to nolin, and 3-4 from rough. Some good places to eat too. Tr
i've used stan sloan, hoppy's and moonlight all three in my jacks, all worked fine... Tr
if your going to be at wax, i'd probably go up, the temps should be a little lower in the river part.
I fished twice last week, and it was in mid 80's then. I'd guess between 88-90 by sat..... Tr
ok, i saw where 40 some had looked and no replies yet, so here goes, i've used stren, and tried silver thread, now i'm using either b.p.s. Excel mono, clear blue, or clear, and p-line for deep...
i fish the fri. Night tourn. Out of wax, i've seen some the last 2 fri's. We start at 6:00 p.m. So i
guess i saw them around 6:30 til dark. I saw 2-3 guys fishing them by the big island between wax...
i am using b.p.s. Excel mono and p-line now. I've used stren and trilene, i've never really noticed a
difference. Maybe sten glows a lighter "bluer", but the p-line and b.p.s. Both seem to work...
Greg hackney and john crews does it. Just a slight bend to the side, to make the point off center. I do it,
in case the hook winds up laying on it's side, in the fishes mouth, the bend will help it...
Lake's still about 2.5' below summer pool. Pretty clear, temp is in low 80's. Saw several "jumps" fri. Night. So they should be turning on... Tr
Depends, if your going to take a boat, i'd make sort of like a circuit, go to guntersville, 1-2 days, pickwick a
day or 2, ky lake a day or 2. Drive around some, see the sites.
If no boat. I'd...
Most guys i know only use an on0bd. Charger for their trolling batteries. I have a 24 volt, so i've got a 2 bank
hooked to them. Last fall, i got a 1 bank off a buddy, who did'nt need it, and hooked...
Don't know what knid you had, merc. 'rude ect. But unless it pretty old, you won't find a 200 for that. There is a place in scottsville ky, that buys-sells used outboards, a buddy got a price for a...
look for cover, or structure close to where they spawned, stumps, drop offs, brushpiles, etc. I try to fish between 12-20 ft deep, as i fish nolin, and it's pretty clear most of the time. Lately,...
Try going to "alton jones's" web site, i reckon he's down there every month, all i've ever heard about him, is he's a good guy, probably would'nt mind pointing you in the right direction.
{tell him...

Back in the late 70's early 80's, ray meredith caught a 10 lb 4 oz. He fished pro for a while, came in like 5th or 6th in a bassmaster classic, now i think he has a car lot in hart co. I had heard...
Fished nolin fri 6:00 - 10:00 p.m. And sat 7:00 pm - 1:00 a.m. No jumps at all.... Tr
I'll have 7 or 8, depending on what time of year. Like now, i'll have 3 set up for plastics, texas rig. 2 for cranks, 1 spinner bait, 1 jig. If it's a day tourn i'll have a c-rig also. Tr
If i am using a wide-gap, or off-set i always bend them a little off center, that way, if the fish has the bait side-ways, i've got a better chance of geting him in the upper or lower jaw. I don't...
the main advantage, in your situtation, is weight. 2 12 volt batteries weigh twice more than one. A good marine battery will weigh over 50lbs. I fished for years out of a 14' alum. V bottom, and used...
It's a big fish tourn. Only 1 per boat. You can fish alone, or with a partner. It's $30 a boat, 90% pay back, with the 10% each tourn going to
the "classic". It started 2nd fri. Night in apr. This...
He went in brier creek, stayed to the left, went all the way back. He was fishing sort of betwen the stick-ups and the bank, now, it is probably in 6' to 8' ft of water.. If no luck there, try the...

One of my bro's went to nolin yesterday, put in at brier creek, the state park, he was the only one in the parking lot. Took his son, caught over 40 big 'gills, and some rock bass, he was using...
Elnuts has got it. Somethings that helped me when i started fishing it.
Start with a long leader, 3'-4' then if no luck, shorten it by 6". It's easier to clip off 6"-8" each time, than to switch to...
I taught mine how to throw a baitcaster. Now she still uses a spinning outfit for crappie, 'gills and light stuff, i.e. Shakeyheads, slider worms,
but she now she throws a big worm, crank, or...
It starts at 6:00 lake time, (cst) and ends at 10:00. "trapper" won it last week, with a 6.98. I think there was 19 boats. Sign up is at the picnic structure, across from ramp. This fri. Will be the...
I agree with art, i've fished the nolin fest while they were shooting them off at 2 different places, and caught fish. The biggest problem is it
sort of screws up your night vision... I guess the...
Try around the mouth of the creek, both sides. Use the already mentioned baits, along with some small-med. cranks. If no luck in the creek, try coves on the main lake, there is a bunch, going up or...
Since they are not bottom feeders, i would say, a meal every 2-3 months would be o-k. Besides, we all eat chicken, they eat poo-poo, and have sex with their own mothers!!, and i don't even want to...
Don't know if any reports are go to help much. last night we had a light frost, and another one expected tonight. today, we seem to be having a pretty stiff wind, so the lake temp. may drop 4-5...
