All the striper fisherman out there. I’m curious what planers you all prefer. Was going to buy the clear board 9.5” but I’m going fishing the first of May and they’re all like a 2-3 month lead time...

All the striper fisherman out there. I’m curious what planers you all prefer. Was going to buy the clear board 9.5” but I’m going fishing the first of May and they’re all like a 2-3 month lead time...
I hate myself right now for being that guy. Hahaha
Every year since I was 10 dad and I have gone on a fishing trip to catch either crappie or trout in early May. I have to cancel this year because I have a baby being born in mid April. We also found...
Had to change plans for this weekend. Was originally headed to laurel from Friday to Sunday but looks like rain and thunderstorms. I am going to head down to either Green River or Cave Run on Sunday....
I was afraid of that. Hopefully they’ll be a few still feeding.
Any word on water conditions down there? Clarity and temp? Going down next weekend and bass fishing during the day and trout fishing at night.
I’ve never been on the river below the dam with a boat. Might be a crazy question to ask with all the rain we’ve gotten but is it even fishable? The generation site just says 2 or more units so I...
Thanks for the info. Which one is the campground ramp? There's quiet a few campgrounds and I can't figure out which one is the free one? Holmes bend is a little more driving from the dam.
Looks like there is a launch fee for what they call Green river site number 1 or ramp number 1. Question is where do I pay that launch fee? Is there a guard shack there or do I have to buy a pass at...
Love laurel for trout in May. From my experience that lake never gets muddy. It's a SUPER deep lake with areas that are 30 ft off the bank and 100+ ft deep. It will get cloudy but I've never seen it...
Hey everyone, going to Green River this weekend. I've fished it a couple times but always while camping so I could use the camp ground ramp. Going to be putting in at the main marina by the dam. I...
Hey looking to get a kayak that I could use for both fishing and duck hunting. I'm 6'5" and around 250. Looking to spend less than $650. I'm not going to be using it every day so I don't need a super...
Anything? Just trying to see if you can catch Muskie in cold water and if so if it is harmful to the fish.
I have a guy in Petersburg KY that works on most motors. Real competitive pricing and has always been easy to work with. PM me if you want his number.
Anybody ever done any good on Muskie in February on the cave? Also, I know these fish are actually kind of fragile and catching them in hot summer months can kill them so is catching them in cold...
Fishing Ohio River a couple years back. Happened to catch out of the corner of my eye the biggest snapping turtle I have ever seen. Was as big a a man hole cover! It submerged and fell out of sight....
I just called down to the pro shop and they said the water is high and muddy butt they're still catching a few.
Anybody know what the water quality is like? Does the lake being that high really affect the muskie that much?
Also is Crash Mullins still guiding? I know he had some health problems a while back...
Hey all, thinking about going down to the run with weekend to try for some muskie. Not really a muskie fisher but have been on a mission to catch my first one for a while now. Do they bite this time...
I would definitely give Wedias Marine a shot. They are very easy to deal with and stand by their work. I took my boat with a 93 Johnson GT200 there a couple weeks ago to have the VRO deleted and some...
Baileys Point is a really nice camp ground and really close to the dam from the water. We stayed there a couple weeks ago right on the water and we didn't have any problems with bugs or anything....
Update on the Crappie around Augusta.... THEY GONE! or atleast not biting anymore... along with every other fish around there :(
I have been hearing that they were biting in the backs of creeks in along the Ohio in NKY. Went bass fishing last night and caught two on accident. One black was almost 15in's and probably a pound...
Well ended up not having a very good weekend in terms of fishing at least. Had boat trouble... second weekend trip in a row for those that are counting.... This time it wasn't the boat but more of a...
Yep I don't fish to make a living or eat I fish to enjoy myself so whether or not I catch fish isn't as important to me as learning a little more every time I go out. I guess because I didn't grow up...
Thanks everyone for the insight I will check back on Monday with a report and hopefully a full stomach!! Good luck!
I don't own a slip and don't catch bait so I don't really have a dog in the fight but I will say that if see an area that looks good to fish I'll fish it... UNLESS I am asked not to for a good reason...
was there last weekend. We had a tough time because of a couple different factors. The level was still down and there was a lot of crap floating. I saw water temp in the morning around 63 or 64 and...
Thanks for the info. I thought about trying to find another body of water but I feel like everywhere is going to be high and muddy this weekend. If you say Green isn't too bad on the main lake then...
Hey guys my favorite trip of the year is this weekend. We are going to Green river for the first time to catch some crappie hopefully. It's been a rough week and I need a trip with my dad more than...
Fished the morning and caught very few fish. Mostly caught on spinner baits and some texas rigged back in the coves. Very little activity. Didn't see anyone catch a fish besides a crappie all day....
No Barren River Lake reports? Just looking for water temp and general spawn activity if any.
Hi all, I read a few very disturbing reports that the water temp is in the mid 60's and the spawn is in full swing now at Barren, that doesn't sound right to me at all. Someone that's been there in...
Great... I am going to be down there crappie fishing the next weekend.... sounds like I would have better luck fishing in a swimming pool...:(
We asked the guy in charge and he said that it means your are allow 5 fish total. That's 3 over the 15in slot, 1 fish between 12-15in, and then your big fish. That is for the boat not per fisherman....
I am going to Barren River for the first time ever. We are trying to decide if we want to join an open tournament down there or just fish for fun. I know the tournament is going to be all local guys...
Thanks for the info! The pumps that I have in there name are plumbed into the intake on my transom. The have a garden hose that goes down to the pump that sits in the bilge. I hope it's easier to get...
Thats the one. I have pulled some pretty decent sized perch out of there but that about it. I have tried night fishing for cats right above and below the ripple with little to no luck. Still good...
Hello all, I am going to put a new livewell pump to fill my two live wells in my boat. The back one never worked but the front one used to and that was OK with me. Now neither of them work so I am...
The Hydorologic graphs so that the Ohio will be down to fishable level by Sunday so I would assume the Licking will be to. As far as fishing spots. There are a few very guarded honey holes on the...
I was fishing with H&H Bass club. They only thing that we got them to hit all day was a texas rig crawled on the bottom as slow as the wind would allow. Rough day but still a great day on the water.
Well it was a rough day!!! 33 people and only 8 people weighed in! Big fish was 3lbs 5oz. and the winning bag was 3lbs 13oz. Water was nasty and it was COLD in the morning. They didn't want jigs of...
Thanks for the info! sounds just like Kincaid! Muddy, over pressured, and not many bites. Doesn't bother me I am just ready to get out on the water!
Hey Y'all I got my first ever tournament this weekend at Elmer Davis. I have never seen this lake but I am fishing with someone who has. With all this rain I know the water is going to look like...
Cave run can be a tough lake to fish as well. If you are planning on fishing from a boat and haven't spent much time operating a boat on cave run take it easy and pay attention to channel markers. I...
Alright I think we'll give it a shot. I think we are going to try up by the lock on the Ohio side and I know there is a creek down river on the Ohio side that people catch them at the mouth of...
Ganna try to get out this weekend and catch some sauger. Honestly haven't ever done it so looking forward to trying something new. Has anyone been down there at all? Is it even worth going out? Ganna...
Thank you very much for the information. I haven't completely figured out how we are going to do this. I am going to have my boat with sonar to find structure on the bottom then we are going to have...
From what I could find they use to stock roughly 120,000 in February or March. Now they are stocking 30,000 at 3 different times throughout the year. So there are 30,000 less fish and they are not...
Thanks for all the input! I think what we will have to do is take my bass boat down there since I have the fish finder and just use that to find a spot then hopefully we can fish them from the...
