I fished it last Friday. By noon, there were lots of boats.
It was very clear, as clear as Ive ever seen it. I mean, crystal clear. I went to the headwaters and found the water stained, but it...
yea, i was going to say, its 94 ft on the shallow side. ;) if youre on the bluff wall side at Kennedy, its more like 200ft, the old dix river channel runs under there. So you can imagine how tall...
were going to check it out real good tonight. Yes, I could have possibly sucked mud up the water intake (river) but my water stream never stopped or looked affected (i watched it close). My fuel hose...
Ive been fishing that pool, though more toward Camp Nelson. It has been very tough lately, a couple weeks ago it was really on and now it has slowed down. I fished in high water Saturday (only me and...
Guys, I hate to say it, but my ole 78 Cajun / 115 Evinrude has had its first problem.
I was at the river, running about 40 (4800 rpms or so of max 5100 or so)
and my engine died. I got...
My brothers and I ended up going to Wood Creek Lodge a couple weekends ago. Youngest bro and I got there on Thurs nite while tourney was going on. When I heard it only took 3lbs to win, I was amazed....
Hey Guys, just a quick post to give you a heads' up on the river. Ive been going 2-3 times a week to the Sulphur Well and Camp Nelson pools.
The river looks good, kinda dirty (trashwise) but...
bandit series crank just at dusk any where you can find shad jumping.
It used to be good, now its too popular. like you said, 4 boats within 50 yards aint for me.
Buck,
Splitshot has good advice. Fish upstream if possible. kicking up silt and fishing downstream is a sure way to get skunked. If you must go downstream, do so out of the water. Get good felt...
I usually throw a weightless 'trick worm' or wacky rigged worm in grass. Sometimes a spinnerbait or a crankbait that just hits the top of it can be deadly. A jerkbait suspended over it can also be...
I know nothing about this body of water, other than it looks beautiful in pictures.
The brothers and I decided to go down and try it out later in the month. What I would like to know from my...
Guys,
Im taking a mid July weekend trip with my two brothers. Getting out on the water for a weekend and fishin hard for 3 days straight.
Ive got several ideas but wanted to see what the...
whats going on at Herrington now? Anythign change?
guys its been my experience at Tville to catch fish in the dead of summer in the mornings from 8-12 on shallow water flats. everyone fishes the thick timber, but in my experience they are in the...
Honestly, I talked to a buddy who was fishing downstream and he did as well as I did or better. He said the flat rock walls were on. I think any stretch of the river is money right now. Oh, and I...
All I can say is, the River's on.
Talked to AJ at Anglers before heading to Camp Nelson. One of the ramps is out and the other is tricky and covered with silt, but workable. I put in at about...
Thanks guy, good words of wisdom here. I went to the KY River yesterday, check my report out.
guys, some of us can't do the night time thing, any tips for daytime bass?
My tactics have been deeper running cranks on the edges of flats or rock walls, rock bars, etc or plastics Trigged fished...
I went yesterday to the Sulphur Well pool and it was slower than normal. However, I found the 'right' crank bait color for the day and started getting on them about 10am. I caught 4 in a row on that...
I went last monday morning and fished the Dunn area and upstream - I caught fish in the jumps on rattletraps as someone said above, but mostly they were hybrids doing the jumping. The 5 largemouth I...
Guys I havent been at nite yet, but I can tell you the other day I had a great day on Herrington. White/Hybrids were in the jumps all over and it was easy to catch them on a rattletrap. I caught 5...
Its big, crowded, windy usually and rougher than hell out in the main channel.
As for the bass, try a t-rig with 1/4 oz bullet and brushog or paddle tail worm in junebug or watermelon/ red flake....
Yea, I would definitely check the prop and try something different. Also, make sure your weight distribution is balanced in the boat. Try putting a heavier piece of weight (cooler or something) up...
too late, can't edit. And it gets plenty of traffic, we have to run people off trying to take stringerfulls of short fish out of there. :mad:
But most of the water that's really, really good...
Know1, my brother is killing smallies in the river right now. PM me or email spileATiglou.com and I'll tell you what's going on. I probably know you anyway. :)
How old are you?
Here are my favorites in Central KY. I live in Nick Vegas ;)
Please share yours -
1. Kentucky River - Sulphur Well, Nonesuch, Camp Nelson or High Bridge (Dix)- the rock bars are the obvious...
hell yeah, fish the river. what they said.
yea man it was beautiful. I just soaked up the sun and couldnt have been happier. Bro didnt do as well as I did, he may have a different feeling ;)
well we went to the Sulphur Well pool and went downstream and then back up. We caught several nice bass on the timber and rocks and it was a great trip. The fish seem bigger in the River this year...
That's music to my ears guys. i love the river for all the reasons youve mentioned - sounds like the classic early summer river pattern. Just hope the rain today doesnt screw it all up for us.
...
Fellas, been busy lately and no time to fish. Finally got a morning to go and Im heading out with the bro on Sunday morning.
I've been out of it a while so I don't know what's goin on. I hate to...
If you can get your boat way back in some of the cuts, you can do real well with a fluke or a spinnerbait.
I would tell you to find isolated wood rather than fish the rows and rows of it. That and see if you can get on the creek channels, fish were holding right above them last week. Creeks were colder...
Was 53-55 depending on the lake yesterday. My usual fishin buddy went with a friend and they got totally skunked.
Buddy and I fished Cedar last Wednesday. 53 by the dam and it was colder in creeks, believe it or not. Threw jigs and suspending cranks as well as a few deep runners. Caught a few.
Traffic down...
After fishing this fall and winter a good bit, the hell with Cumberland. As much as I love it, Im sick of the 'off one day on the next' stuff. Too far to drive, too much gas for roulette.
To be...
Ive fished Willisburg alot as my granddad grew up there (Springfield). There are some big bass in the lake. But its on or off, like he said, they run in schools. Best bet as a locator is a white grub...
I have never seen the likes of the common jerks down there who cut you off on banks and wash the crap out of you when youre trying to fish. I guess cause its small and there's alot of fishermen...
Thought Id liven this up since people talkin about goin to Herrington.. anyone else fishing it?
Guys you dont have to wait to catch bass at Herrington. I caught 6 keepers last week, see my other post. Key is getting to them on the morning bite when they are busting shad. Crankbaits did the...
you guys are nuts!
I think live bait is a cheap way to catch fish and its unsporting. Now, if Im taking my little girl fishing, its great, cause she wants to catch some fish. She is not at the age where she can cast...
Boone, Ive been to Cumberland 3 times since Dec 15 and not caught but 2 bass on a jig (and wasted a ton of gas). I went to herrington the other day and caught 6 largemouth all on cranks. guess where...
howdy Chris, Ive learned alot here. Welcome :)
Well I couldnt stand it anymore after not doing so well at Cland the last two trips, and after seeing (Wormin' , I think) someone post about catching bass on cranks at Herrington, I decided to take...
Bassmaster, you wear me out bro!
My brother and I went Sunday, it was really windy. We put in at Burnside and fished south fork, pitman and the main lake points and cuts between pitman and...
thanks man.
Forgot to mention, I threw a yellow zoom trick worm (bit about an inch off the head) on a 1/8 shakey head on 8lb test. I didnt get anything on it, but man the action was incredible. I bet it'll be a...
good luck to you. I have burned up the creeks and the river myself and done very well with smallies. But I can't do well on Cumberland for some reason.
