Awesome! Thank you both. I'm always up for fighting a big carp! I'll definitely give that a shot. I'll also have to bring some live craws with me when we go. Luvtohunt, what does drum taste like? And...
My buddies and I like to yak fish Elkhorn Creek a couple times a year. We mostly target smallies with tube jigs, curly tail grubs, and rebel craws. I must say we usually do pretty well and it's...
Took my kayak out on Boltz Lake from about 7am-9am this morning. It was a nice morning other than the wind. The sun was shining and the air temp was in the high 60's. With it being my first time...
Anybody here fish for bass in Boltz Lake? I was thinking about taking my kayak out there in the next week or two. I've never been there and am not really sure what to expect. Any info would be...
I took my kayak out this morning from 6:30am to 8:30am on Camp Ernst lake. Thats a tough lake to fish from the bank but if you can get out on the water its a whole different ball game. I was throwing...
Thank you! I appreciate the info!
Does anybody know how I can purchase a pass/permit to use the Fredrick's Landing boat ramp? I've been there a couple times and seen the big sign saying I need one but there is never anybody there to...
I wouldn't necessarily say MORE productive but it's definitely warm enough that they will hit it. My buddies and I usually tie on a Pop-R at least once during our outings just to see if we can get a...
A couple of my buddies and I are planning to kayak/fish Elkhorn Creek sometime in the very near future. It will be about an hour and a half drive for us. I have the FloodWatch app on my phone and it...
I'll bet once the water temp gets up in the high 70's and the trout become lethargic and start dying a big soft plastic to imitate them would be a killer bait to use for those lunkers.
I fish Sperti pretty often and the walk back up never gets any easier. Good fishing down there but man if they could just install an escalator or something it'd be much better! Haha.
Most ponds...
Thanks for the report Dave! I might be heading out there soon. What depth did you find them at?
I strongly agree with posts that said getting organized and finding more students and parents to get involved. This will be your number one goal. Number two... Do some research and find out how a...
I'll help you carry your canoe AND sing along with you the whole trip... C'mon, it'll be fun!
You mean you're not gonna show me where you caught that 9 lb smallie?
Hey guys I live near Cincinnati and like to fish the Little Miami, Great Miami, and White Water rivers (wading and/or kayaking). Just wondering if anyone else on this site does as well so maybe we...
I agree it's nearly impossible to cover any water fishing from the bank there. That is unless you stick to the dam but there's so much debris around there with all the trash and tree limbs that...
Thank you everyone for your replies. Sorry it took so long to get back to ya I just came off of a long 12 10hr day stretch at work so I didn't have much time to make it to the computer. I'm not...
I live very close to this lake and have fished it a few times for bass. Can't really say it's been all that great. Caught a few good ones between 3 and 4 pounds every once in a great while but it's...
Hey Tim! Glad to see you on the site! Me and the guys at work always watch your show and when the new episodes come out it's the talk of the lunch table the following day.
Being a small...
-Keep small magnets in the compartments of your tackle box where you keep loose hooks, swivels, split rings, etc., etc. It'll save you from a big mess to clean up if you happen to tip it over or...
I live near the Florence area in northern KY and I am about to buy my buddy's old kayak off of him (he just bought a new one). I was wondering if anyone knew of any places that wouldn't be too far of...
Usually I target creek smallmouth with a spinning combo, a pack of tubes with some 1/8 oz jigheads stuffed inside them, or a couple different cranks I've found to be very effective. Lately I've shown...
Nice fish man! Sounds like a fun day!
Spinnerbaits, swimbaits, and lipless cranks. All as close to the surface as possible.
A black jitterbug can be your best friend while night-time bass fishing.
My buddy and I are planning to hit that area sometime here in the next couple weeks. I've never fished the licking but know a few guys that do and they have great fish stories from that area. I'll...
Good to see people getting out there and enjoying the creek smallmouth. Funnest way to fish in my opinion. Nice fish fellas!
Whoa whoa there turbo! I don't think somebody needs a big hole in them for netting fish.... Maybe a few rocks thrown at their heads but there's no need to go overboard here.
Yesterday I landed a nice smallie that spit a crawdad out and hit me in the forehead with it. Had that been a rattlesnake I would have soiled my waders!
Should've done it....
I wish people would just realize that the simple act of acknowledging somebody can make all the difference... excluding the castnet situation... If that were me I would have been in a fight! But for...
I had a similar experience out on the creek. My son and I were hammering smallies left and right when this guy http://i715.photobucket.com/albums/ww154/nic_sturgill/881f43cc.jpg waded right in front...
I bet those guys put up some amazing fights! Glad to see somebody else appreciate the "trash" as much as I do. I'm about to take my son out carpin' for his first time this weekend. He doesn't even...
I agree. The fish won't know how much you spent on that lure. Matching color and size of the forage is the most important thing to worry about.
Stuff like this makes me sick! I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It is a really sad world we live in these days.
I would have to go with river/creek smallmouth. They fight just as hard out if the water as they do in the water. They're like largemouth on crack!
Caught this big ol' sheephead sunday morning down at the creek which qualified for my first KY trophy fish award at 26 inches. Got him on a Rapala DT-4 in the Ike's Custom Ink Demon color. It never...
As I understand it "navigable waters" are waters you can reach without stepping out of your boat/canoe/kayak if you were to start from a major water way. In this particular area that would not be...
If I could find a way to speak to the landowner I would ask them but I've never seen them nor can I see a house or anything from the private property line. Just a bunch of no tresspassing signs. I'll...
There is a spot on the creek that I frequently fish where the public land meets private land. I am always very respectful and stop at the private property line when wading but there is a good stretch...
Yeah the cold weather has put a hurtin' on me too. Good ol' spring weather... gotta love it. I know you said you used worms but you might wanna try a senko or Dinger rigged wacky style if you havent...
I actually just recently met Jimmy Houston in person when he was doing a workshop at the Bass Pro Shop in Ohio and I asked him this same exact question. His response was to use these times because...
Although I'm pretty sure the asain "crap" haven't made it to the creeks I fish I promise to brutally smash any I catch with a rock!
Thank you Tyme2fish. I looked it up and it says any fish that is not considered a game fish can be taken for bait as long as it's less than 6 inches long and there is a 500 fish limit.
This might be a dumb question but better safe than sorry. My boy got a little net and was down at the creek catching a bunch of minnows (or some type of small bait fish) with it and asked if we could...
As I'm releasing the fish I caught... "catch ya later!"
One of my son's favorite jokes... "wanna know where you can find most of the fish??? Between the head and tail."
Rebel wee craw and strike king Bitsy tubes (green pumpkin for clear or stained water, black and blue for muddy water) are two of my most successful lures in any creek I've fished. Rebel Crickhopper...
Another thing I forgot to mention in my last post is a fishing log. It might not be something you actually keep in the tackle box but it's something definitely worth keeping. Get a little notepad and...
Just about everything everyone has mentioned is all good stuff. The only thing I didn't see mentioned that I try to never leave home without is a water thermometer. Fish behave differently depending...
