Generally speaking, North Barkley is downstream from Kuttawa, or towards the dam. Lots of good fishing up that way, but I be danged if I can find them on any regular basis. I know now and then I end...

Sounds like a great time!! Thanks for the report. Hope you have many more times with your Dad and Uncle!!!

"everything over 8 only bit on 'fat free shad'".... hmmm must have been on a diet... ha ha ha ha

Hey guys, I too have heard of this, can't remember where though. It seems it was on one of those "old" fishing shows that TNN used to air... you know before they became SPIKE TV. It might have been...

Hey Gillman,

My boat was doing something similar. When I had it opened up, or even when I was just taking off, it seemed the motor would lose about 1,000 rpms and would take a long time to get to...

I wish the Gander Mountain in Evansville, IN was a Cabelas or a BPS!!!

Nothing agains Gander Mountain, but I just like the other two, especially the Cabelas.

Hey magik.... I've got the DishNetwork. I find I can get more channels and for a lower price. I've been with them for a little over 5 years or so. I have thought about changing to DirectTV, just so I...

Bourbon,

My job required me to travel around the country and most (99.9%) of my co-workers had advanced degrees. As I "pimped" myself... conformed to the expected... at company get togethers, I...

Kind of nice to see someone thinking this way.

At worst, you could always just crack open the tool and remove the rechargable battery and dispose of it properly, then recycle what you can and...

dc, I see you are from Eastern KY. Make you a deal... I have wanted to go to Fork for some time. If I can go with you guys, I'll pull my boat... you can even have one of your friends in my boat if...

""""BTW BTW..........While driving to KY I slowed down to 65 mph.....and added 3 mpg. ONLY saves about 50 bucks, but 50 bucks is 50 bucks""""

I've found that if I slow to 55 or even 60, I add...

No one has mentioned this yet, so it may no longer be an issue. But I asked about using the SI up front, and was told you had to be going at least 2-5 mph to get it to work correctly, and therefore...

Congratulations on your new boat!! I am sure you will treasure it and the times you have in it.

Good luck and tight lines,

I should have read the whole thread, I see someone else had the same idea I purposed.

Anyway, not all Ice will float. If the ice is heavier than water, it will not float. There are four states of...

Might have the solution.. my mom used to say it was when someone in a jet airliner flushed the commode...LOL.. so I did some research. I've found 'rumors' of some type of fluid leak from planes that...

Not sure if they are still there, it has been a while since I have stayed there, but check out (I think the name is...) Parkview Cabins. They are right out sided Lake Barkley State Park. They are...

Headed to the lake yesterday with a buddy. The water was slack, not much current, but we left the lake around 1:30 pm, so maybe they started drawing more later in the day.

We fished main lake...

mkm,

I have a lot of friends/aquaintances that have cabins on the lake. They all say it is a safty issue. But I can assure you, and I have also taken this to our state legislator from Greenville,...

My biggest was a 25lb drum on 6lb mono, using a spinning outfit. Luckily I was in a boat and able to chase the fish, otherwise I am certain I would never have gotten it in.

What I am dying to do...

I sure wish I could take credit for this idea bourbon, but I mentioned this post to my wife, and she made a good point. If her parents can 'drop' a million on a boat, they don't need a gift that...

Thanks Terry!! and I mean that. It is amazing how many people who think that ciggarette butts are not litter!!! In fact, there is one guy, that I consider a friend, who I have quit allowing to go...

I live 30 miles from there. I purposely sold my bass boat that was small enough to be on the lake and bought another, bigger boat, just so it was illegal for me to go to the lake!!!

I can not say...

I see your point, but like TR21 said, they knew the rules going in. Besides, maybe Triton made it up to him in some payout that we don't see? Maybe you could email the guys, and ask them. But don't...

Hey guys and gals.... just thought I'd offer up a tip to help save or make a fishing trip good, vs. bad or not happening at all.

This was spawned by the tips thread on the ramp edition, and my...

It's late, and I'm a bit foggy, but you gotta get your grandfather out of that creek. If only you get him out to the channels around the island out in front of the creek, if I am picturing the right...

Etech, the issue is that if the waves are too big, be them from the wind and natural current, or the wakes of a boat, and the afore mentioned too big of a wave is throwing you about, and out of your...

So do PFDs!!!

I once saw a coast guard, or some rescue personnelle guy say that they had never, and that is a long time, retrieved the corpse of a drowned guy that had a life jacket on. I suspect...

Because those are their days off work??? LOL LOL

I appologize Skeeter, I just could not help myself. I am 45 mins away from Rough (state ramp), Nolin (Moutidier), and 65 mins from Barkley and...

LL,

I think we have all wondered this at sometime. I look at it this way, and I think it is logical, but I probably still have it wrong. Which is OK for me, I guess, but hope this will help you....

hey gocards... AMEN!!

I was trying, though obviously not as elequently as you, to say much of the same thing. I think it was Zig Ziglar I once heard say, why let someone in traffic tee you off......

AMEN Dave, and yet some still do it.

Thanks ZX, btw, if the guy had a bat, I imagine I would retreat. I don't carry a weapon because I have always believed... don't pull a gun unless you are ready to use it. That extrapolates very well...

Hey Geo,

At least he wasn't a smart a.. back side. Being a fisherman, and one that also has exceed the posted speed limit a time or two, and probably still do...LOL.. you know the old joke. Well...

James,

It sounds almost like I could have been that guy you are describing. You see I have a 21 foot Triton TR21, I bought it new in 2002. The trailer is one made by EZ Loader trailers. Triton...

Well, it's 5:10 a.m. and I am home, not at the lake. As I do everytime I leave for the lake, I go through my pre-departure ritual. One of those check off items is to ensure my boat key is in my...

As many have said, I too use Stren. That said, Stren is also made by the same company that makes Trileen, I believe.

BTW, I also have Spiderwire for my CRing.

One thing I like about the...

First, thanks to all who have joined the spirit of the question and thread. I appreciate the help. All things go right, I'll be posting a small report of tomorrow's fishing. I have everything ready...

OK, how about a video of a person committing the violation? Will that work?

Thanks,

HDF

Hey everyone,

Not been out for a week or so, under the weather. I know I can get a very comprehensive report from the site by Dave, but I kind of like hearing the stories from us "regular Joes"....

Good launch there Russman. Glad you didn't stay on the ramp too long getting ready ... LMAO

Really, welcome to the board. I lurked here for years before I finally joined. Hope you have a good...

Not going to argue HB, I am only going on the information I got in college and from my sister, a lawyer. She's not a particularly good lawyer, so I'll defer to your wisdom!

LOL

HDF

PS,...

I keep Arm & Hammer Baking soda in all my boat storage boxes. I figure maybe it will absorb some of the bad oders that don't belong in there either.

Good luck,

HDF

There you go ... don't make government bigger. Don't make new laws. Just enforce the laws that exist.

Since litter is one of my biggest gripes in nature... let's enforce the litter laws too!!
...

Ironhead,

I totally get what you are saying. It goes to what I've always said, and what someone else has said here... "You can't legislate common sense."

That said, you really can't teach it...

totally agree HB on the visitor's license, but would it be practical to have visitor's safety certification? It's unconstitutional to apply laws to just certain groups of a population. I also agree...

LMAO... that's cold... but funny!!!

I'm sure my "ex" would say I belong in number 2.... hmmm, I think that is also what she thinks I am!!!

HDF

Thanks for the video link. I've never seen the white catfish, or ever heard of them. It was fun watching the video, and actually watched it several times. I was curious to see a better picture of it,...

I too totally agree, $30 is nothing for a good safety education. There exists many problems though, the first off the top of my head is that online courses are bogus. Who knows if I am the one who...

I understand this idea, but I don't think our governments need to get any bigger. We can not currently adequately fund our on the water law enforcement, not to mention the really important things,...

Love the idea HB. I want to help. You see, as all this ice and whiskey gets dumped in the lake, the elevation will rise, so more will have to be "pulled" by the corps. So, I'll offer to come and...
