Try the Falls of the Ohio. Some white curly tail grubs will catch all kinds of things down there - white bass, sauger, drum, and even catfish. You really don't know what you're going to catch down...
The hump near the dam is a great spot. Tops out at about 9 ft deep depending on lake level.
Take a cast net and catch some shad, no need to keep them alive, just keep them in a bucket with some...
If you plan to be out fishing on Sept. 5th, be advised that there will be a potentially large boat parade from 10 am to 2 pm on the main lake, as well as many other things happening that day. The...
KDFWR has agreed to sue Andy Beshear.
Andy was pretty mad during his COVID-19 update yesterday and used it as his soapbox to discuss it.
Andy's update video from yesterday, the KDFWR part...
From Jim Strader Outdoors program:
"Governor Beshear and his cabinet have attempted to block the re-appointment of the head of the Agency, Rich Storm. Storm received a unanimous vote of approval...
Gatorbak is another option. You use treated wood like usual, but instead of using carpet you install the Gatobak plastic covers instead.

Gatorbak is supposed to be a good...
You can use high density plastic (HDPE) 2x4s and 2x6s - it costs more, but also requires more supports as it can't span the same distance as wood. Some companies add aluminum channel to increase...
Paxton Media Group, a large owner of many newspapers in KY, as well as News Channel 6 in Paducah, has a vendetta against Bevin or any other Republican for that matter - if Bevin was doing some kind...
A cast net is simple to use. I used to toss one on Taylorsville Lake 6 or 8 years ago and could bring in 50+ shad with one throw. Brings back a lot of memories loading up on blue cats with those...
How's that pension deal going with Beshear? Beshear was supposed to be the teachers' saving grace after they all got their feelings hurt by Bevin with his dose of reality and him telling it like it...
Definitely weren't carp! I know a smallmouth when I see one!
Besides, carp don't eat fry or baitfish, they have no stomach to digest them!
I watched smallmouth after smallmouth surface and roll yesterday morning eating those tiny fry.......and would not touch a lure......it "didn't excite or rest the soul" but instead FRUSTRATED the...
I don't know if I'm still on lock-down or not here on Fishin.com, as I haven't posted in years since Peter pretty well shut me down after getting into it with Elwood over some goofy basketball game...
The marinas in which the land was dug/dregged out are the ones that usually have a leg to stand on in keeping you out. As for the others, have at it...anyone can put a sign up that says "no fishing"...
It is electric motor only in there, as it is park of the state park. I have seen and been checked by an IDNR boat that hides in there from time to time to write tickets.
The key word is "protected," not "endangered."
Completely remove the word "endangered" from any of this discussion as it does not apply at all.
All species of fish and animals in KY are...
It's on for tonight - June 6th
I don't think fluoro is a good choice on spinning reels, no matter what the brand is.
I use braid on my spinning reels, with a fluoro leader. Try that somethime and see what kind of casting...
One problem I foresee with Nickel Branch would be the requirement of a special use permit. If enough tournaments start going out of there, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see the price of it go up...
Seaguar Red Label is the best value. I've been using it for 3 years now without any issues.
You'll be just fine. I camp there in the fall when the lake is on the way down. Also, the lake has come up some recently making it less of an issue.
But if you're too worried, Sugar Bay is another...
A marine grade grease works fine. Walmart has a Pennzoil Marine grease I've used for years.
I too switched my cool hubs to grease. The cool hubs were not a good application for boat trailers, and...
Not sure of his screen name. He was in a white/gray stratos.
Had 7 boats
John Smith and his son won with 3 fish weighing 4 lbs. 8 oz.
From what I heard, it sounded like everyone was catching fish, but just couldn't quite get them to go 12", which is the...
I think we've got 6 all together now. :)
I've been using that Sledd Creek area for years - used to ride 4wheelers back there, have bonfires, high school parties, etc. in the late 90s. Man were those some good times!
After TVA gave up...
Good deal!
I'll be there - will be coming over from Duffy's
A guy in a Skeeter named Steve will be holding the money tonight
I think everyone's definition of etiquette/courtesy is different. What is considered the norm. on one body of water may be completely frowned up on the next.
I know here in Louisville on the Ohio...
Anyone planning on coming? We've got two boats that I know of for sure.
Glad to hear about the catfish! I assume you caught them while trying for bluegill?
Those catfish should be in full swing with their spawn, in about 4 ft of water or so around rip rap - was this...
Just do some shopping online. Most novelty stores have them dirt cheap.
I think commercial fishermen use them, so maybe check a fishing supply store as well.
...
It's plenty heavy enough. I use 8 to get down deep enough on my favorite spots.
You have to have the correct rod for deep cranking; the correct rod won't break 8 lb test
I use Seaguar Red Label
The price of high dollar sunglasses is not related to the frames, but the lenses themselves.
High quality lenses reduce eye fatigue and help enhance your time spent on the water. I too used to...
That ramp has been notorious for theft over the years. I always make sure to never leave before daylight and be back in before dark when using that ramp...but then again theft in broad daylight has...
Topwater early in areas near deep water.
Then DT16 or swimbait on main points/ledges, as well as a carolina rig/big texas rigged worm/jig if they want something slower.
The bass are fragile in...
Where at?
I love that place!
We stayed in one of the beach houses by the lighthouse.
I caught a ton of whiting and sand trout using a carolina rig with fresh bait shrimp. No size limit on the whiting...
Keep an eye on this thread if you are fishing it, as river conditions and weather make this event subject to cancellation.
The majority of guys that fish the event discuss it here as well:...

Definitely fish in the marina area - the bank directly across from the boat ramp is awesome! The release fish hang out in there, and there are some dandy ones in there too! I've even caught some...
Boat is sold. :)
Try the C rig in these places (try to find the ledge):
Mouth of Buzzard Rock
Around the island on the main lake near Buzzard
Entrance to Kuttawa Harbor
Pump house and boat ramp by prison
Mouth...
Tried that in past with little success. It's a rock bar with deep water on each side - needs to have 3 to 4 ft of water on it to be good. Right now it only has about 1.5 ft
Secondary point. Only fished for bass for about 20 minutes, as we were in a Jon boat with no electronics and limited range. I caught six pretty quick, 5 of which were 14.5" and one was 15.5", I...
I couldn't find the redear or catfish like I normally do this time of year. The low water had my usual spots messed up so I basically had to start from scratch.
Ended up finding lots and lots of...
How did you do? Looked like the river was dropping, but still swirling pretty good...
For shore fishing, the best I've found to use is a regular old 7' med. heavy rod, and baitcaster with about 15 lb. mono. - tie up a carolina rig with a steel leader. Use fresh shrimp for bait. ...
They list winter pool as being 354, but rarely do you ever see it. It usually runs closer to 354.5 to 355 throughout the winter.
With the river ripping like it is, most are backing out, myself included.
I believe we're going to postpone this one to next week, May 16th
