Another 5 feet down would have been awful. The upper end of that lake is dangerous enough at winter pool.

I am pretty sure you can do idle speed but just not run it. I was under the impression they changed all the 10hp lakes to this in Kentucky.
Thanks for the info. I skipped it and installed a new transducer in my boat instead. Last I checked the gas was around $4 a gallon, and the fish haven't been biting good anywhere for me. I have...
Anyone been to Nolin the last week or so? Just curious if the bass fishing has picked up or not. I haven't been for a while, but when I went, it was pretty slow, so I kinda took a break from...
Seagar Red Label is all I use on my jig rods. 15lbs test. I even use it on my flipping and pitching rods. Can't beat it for $ to value. I agree on the knot being the issue. I use a palomar on...
Guist was pretty hot in the spring, but this summer, it has been super slow. 6 bites in 8 hours *****. I have been three times this summer and have gotten skunked all three times. I caught two 5...
I have a newer optimax and it states specifically to use 87 octane. A lot of the newer ones are that way. Regardless, if your outboard says premium, then 90 is still not the way to go, I think...
I am jealous, I have been the last two weekends, and they were not biting very good. Only caught a handful of fish last weekend. The water temps were in the 90's.
A caution to anyone purchasing 90 octane gas. Check your owners manual on your outboard before putting it in your tank. Most boats do not recommend any octane except 87 for 2-stroke outboards,...
My favorite shakey head worm is a Roboworm, they even make a green pumpkin with a chartreuse tip, it's called a hot tip. It's my go to when fishing is slow. I also prefer the j-hook type heads over...
I love fluorocarbon. All my reels except topwater and spinning reels have fluorocarbon on them. Do a search on here, there have been a few good discussions about it. I am not sure what your...
hahaha, wheres the dude with the bathtub?
Whites mixed with largemouth were jumping last Tuesday at Nolin, sporadic at best, but caught some on topwater. Only happened for about two hours, and didn't happen anymore the rest of the week.
I wish more people in ski boats would think that way. Btw, if I won't pay for gas to go down there, why would I give you money? Doesn't really make sense. I agree, there are fish there, but the...
I hate taylorsville. Just wanted to throw my 2¢ in. I would rather fish a shallow puddle in a parking lot. Speaking of parking lots, that is what that place is on the weekend. I wouldn't go there...
I just got back and they were hitting good on a jig and craw trailer combo on the drops, usually in about 10' to 15' of water. Also, caught some whites and largemouths busting on shad on top out on...
This is what I do also, you can really set the hook with your finesse stuff this way also. Fluorocarbon on a spinning rod is a recipe for disaster. You have to use 6lbs test just to keep it from...
RUN!!! I got almost all the books. They are a big scam. The test products were junk. Snelled worm hooks and snap swivels. Give me a break. Some of the hooks were broken when I got them. Oh...
I have used a lot of different fluorocarbon, vanish and vicious are the worst. I like the Seaguar and the XPS. Seaguar red label is the most cost efficient and what I use primarily on all my rods...
Here is a link that shows the USACOE Official Nolin Facebook page, it has the current lake level on it.
...
hahaha, why don't you call the CoE and file a complaint? See what happens then. You don't own that water or the land under that dock, the Corps does, and that makes it public. If you think anyone...
It has been down for seems like a week.
I like what I see about the Ohio River. It's getting better. I don't know why they include Cedar Creek in those though. It is a 1 bass only tournament. That % of successful anglers number doesn't...
I would like to see them try to "launch" my car.
Yeah, first place weighed in over 14 lbs yesterday. I was surprised, but the river gets better and better every year.
They were't eating that good last weekend, but there are definately fish in there. A 20 lbs sack would win any tourney out there.
Maybe it's time for a class action lawsuit. I have three of those durned things. None are broken yet, but that can be fixed. I am getting kinda partial to the Verdict rods now anyways.
Personally, I would be more inclined to take pictures and measurements and get a replica mount. Nobody will know the difference except you. I don't understand why someone would take a fish under...
That is only if he uses his Carrot Stix. :)
I didn't see one there last weekend. There is one at Van Buren if the bank beaters will let you tie up to it. There always seems to be someone camping out in a lawn chair fishing from it. (It is...
After reading this, I will NOT be eating anything out of those places. I didn't see anything about Nolin, so I will continue to stock up on spotted bass from there.
This place ^^^. I got my 788CI HD DI for like $600 or $650 I think. You need a SD card too and update the software IMMEADIATELY. It took a little while, but it finally started working perfectly after...
I read somewhere that you should only eat like 10 lbs a year of fish, at most, from the river due to the unusually high mercury content of the fish. Personally, after seeing what I have seen floating...
I don't feel like they will be able to fix Wolf Creek Dam. They will probably have to build another one downstream and blow it up. Too many underground caves underneath it that are letting water...
I am not even going to think about clicking on the links, but wtf are you trying to say? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
My experience has been that the only time anyone catches anything on the a-rig is when it is someone else fishing it. :D I have tried it a handful of times, but probably not in the right...
I was getting ready to say that. Those water temps are wacked out. They are way higher than that right now.
That certainly does not sound legitimate. I would be curious where they came from.
My dad, everytime he hooks a tree or a rock and gets stuck. "You ain't fishing if you ain't getting hung up." To which I reply, "Well then you are fishing an awful lot."
I was under the impression you could launch a boat and use the outboard to idle if it was over that HP, but you cannot run. You can also load up with your outboard. You just can't run it.
I just got back and I had better luck on Barkley. Some fish were on beds, others were on main and secondary points. Both lakes are in transition right now. Be ready for some junk fishing.
No. It is better on the batteries too. There are a lot of different schools of thought on this. Some guys will tell you that is not the best idea, but all of your manufacturers will tell you to...
It goes into float mode after a while and does not draw very much current. It monitors the voltage on the batteries until they drop below a certain point and then it tops them back up. It is the...
That's what I want to try it on, that should be interesting!! I am hoping for three casts and done!!
Thanks for the info, I'll have to try that. :D
Can you do that in a 18.5' fiberglass boat? It appears to be no deeper than 4' past Van Buren and my Navionics chart just says "Shallow" past that area. I don't want to **** up my boat going up...
Went out about 11:00 AM. Water temperature was around 68 degrees. Water a little high and stained. Started flipping around docks, caught a 5 lbs female, still full of eggs. Caught a few dinks...
Also Long Run. Electric motor only.
I have caught a few decent ones at Long Run from the shore by the dam.
Yeah, I think it is still an over the counter swap. At least when my reel seat came unglued it still was.
