I had to run an errond this morning which took me on a road past (at least) three differenct cattle pastures in Hardin County. I hadn't really paid any attention until I was on my way back home, but...
uk.bass: do a Google search for "bass water temperature preference" or similar leadins and you can get a lot of good material to check out. For that matter, Google is a great starting point for any...
UK.BASS, Before I go fishing I check the COE site for the lake I am going to fish. I find what depth has at least 2 parts dissolved Oxygen, then on the lake I don't fish any deeper than that depth....
airnet, sorry for the mis-interperatation of your post and thank you for the compliment.
A Wised Up Grumpy
Airnet, you are right about ONE WAY to find the thermocline but apparently you didn't really read my first post in this thread. I was trying to help out a fellow that said his fishfinder was old and...
Todd, sorry if I made it sound lake there is ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY FOR SURE no possibility of any fish being below the Thermocline/depleted oxyben depth, there may be some fish inside the Thermocline...
Tom, you are absolutley right. I didn't want to get into that in my original post but I also check the change in temperatures to get the probable location of the thermocline. HOWEVER, over the years...
Peter, you are welcome. I haven't ever found where Nashvile COE provides this data but then again I haven't looked lately.
POST SCRIPT: You (we) can also find out when the FALL TURNOVER has...
In a post about Rough River, the poster was told to find the Thermocline but he replied that his fish finder was old and didn't show the thermolcline. It is really not necessary to find the actual...
Thank for geting it and posting it here, Carter, that is exactly the same as what I posted previously citing page 41 of the Boating Regulations. I hope they take your advice and publicize it much...
Good idea Carter, and if its something different than the part of the regulation that I posted above, please let us know what it is. The label on my Inflatable PFD clearly states that it is TYPE III...
We have been throught this many times on this board and others. The KY Boating Guide on page 41 for REQUIRED EQUIPMENT, says: "Check the label on inflatable types of PFDs. Some older models meet...
Just because you did not catch any fish doesn't mean you are doing something wrong!!
If the water temperature was below 72 degress, I would bet that the lake has turned over ALREADY or is in the...
There was a post, and much discussion, several days ago about the wear of Inflatable PFDs. Several people stated that they had been told by Fish and Wildlife personnel, that ALL Inflatable PFDs...
Olgrey, I think you mis-read what was happening. I was one of the first, if not the first, vender to leave and I didn't pack up until 1230 mainly because I had to meet someone later. There were a...
Hey Elnut, please tell us what kind of replies you get from the Governor, your State Senatore, Representative, the KYDFW and the COE about your safety suggestions.
Grumpy
Not one of these suggestions is worth the time it took you to post it, unless you, and I mean all of you, also make the suggestions in writing and send them to the Kentucky Governor, your state...
Has anyone been to Barren or Nolin this weekend? I am going fishing tomorrow and not sure where to go, Barren or Nolin. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks,

This horse has been beaten to death. I am locking the thread.

I sent an email to KYDFW asking about the legality of the handheld airhorn. I will post thier reply when I get it.
Grumpy
Creekrock, please post the link that you are using.
According to the corps of Engineer site, the oxygen at T-ville is 4. and above at 20 feet up to the surface. it is 3.7 at 25 feet and 0.3 or...
KYgorski, I don't understand why an airhorn would not be legal as it is "power operated". I have been checked on several lakes in KY and no one has ever told me the handheld airhorn I keep on the...
Since they came out with braid, I have not used anything but braid on my spinning rods/reels. I get much better distance; a whole lot less tangles; and little or no line twist.
Grumpy
Thanks for the report. It is interesting that you and therock caught fish because usually the fish are not active/biting until after the Turnover. From your description of the water I looks like the...
Hey, Rock, I would be interested to know what part of the lake you were in. I know the Corps takes their reading near the dam so that is where I got the info that it had turned over. That is usually...
If I were you, I would look for somewhere else to go. I just checked the COE site and Barren was turned over on the 4th. The water temp was 72 degrees from top to bottom and the oxygen was 2.5 from...
Its that time of year again and people start wondering about Lake Turnover. There has already been one thread with mention and discussion of it. I thought I would share a couple of sites that I found...
Many lakes get dark even black AFTER the turnover. Nolin and several other lakes get a "pea soup" green color when they are in the process of turnover. I beg to differ about the 53 degree statement....
In my opinion, you would be better off to head towards the Dam area. I was in Rock Creek yesterday and it was turning over. Didn't catch anything in Rock Creek but from the mouth and in the main...
You may get your topwater action sooner than I thought. I was at Nolin this morning and the temps were in the 77 to 80 degree range, so the temps are falling faster than I thought they would.
I...
I know its been a long HOT summer and you must be real anxious, but i think you are rushing things a bit. The water is still in the high 70s or low 80s and needs about another month of cool weather...
They start dropping the Louisville District lakes either on October 1st or October 15th. Go the the link below and you can check each lake:

Several years ago, my fishing partner and I were on the Saganaw River at Bay City, Michigan. He made a real long, high cast towards the bank and a great big Herron came out of nowhere and grabbed his...
Geo,
I am a big Garmin fan and have two on the road GPS, a Garmin Fishfinder and a Garmin GPSMAP 430. The reason I like Garmin is first and foremost I have been pleased with each of the above...
I am not sure what you are calling "docks", but if you are talking about FLOATING WOOD DOCKS, then you are right. But I asked three other people that I know frequently fish Rough and all three said...
Which ramps are you talking about? Unless they got flooded away, there were ramps at laural, Axtel and North Fork.
Grumpy
I am not sure why the airhorn was no good. I have a small handheld airhorn that I keep on a lanyard on my dash. I have been checked in KY, TN, IN and MI and that has been satisfactory everytime. The...
Come to Kentucky, with this heat and humidity, you won't have any trouble with not being able to fish.
Grumpy
Call Garmin Customer Service 1-800-800-1020.
Grumpy
"service is not in the vocabulary of the box stores."
Dave, I beg to differ with that staement. While I do try to patronize local stores where/when ever possible, I have found the customer...
Bob, I don't think you really need what you are asking for. My Garmin GPSMAP came preloaded with 5000 lakes all over the US and over 300 of them are very detailed. Anyhow, the point is that when I...
Not sure what map you are using or what stream you may be looking at. Fort Knox has a bunch of streams and creeks running all through it but as you suspected most of them are OFF LIMITS because of...
As of the latest COE Report, it is about five feet over summer pool. Go the the link below and you can check it yourself next time:

In case you didn't notice, this site is called Fishin.com and the discussion is about fishing. I will leave this here for a couple days so you can find it, but in the future if you want to discuss...
Slobslayer, now I am confused!! Lone Valley is definately a KY State Park Ramp, at least it was the last time I was there. Are you saying that the "State Dock Ramp" is the one next to the Marina...
Wormin, I am glad to hear it, that means we are getting rid of most of it before too many people see it. We have gotten a couple of alerts and I have delete at least eight spammers in the last two...
there has been a bunch of spam posters in the last couple of days. Spam is advertisements for sale items posted on the discussion boards for anything from fishing stuff to porno sites. Please help...
I don;t know how to do it, send an email or PM to Peter and maybe he can help. Be advised though that he is out of town until Tuesday.
Grumpy
Kydonky, what you wrote is WRONG. ALL INFLATABLE PFDs do not need to be worn to be approved. I have a Suspenders Inflatable PFD that DOES NOT have the statement: APPROVED ONLY WHEN WORN. I have...
