my friends and i are planning trip to KY Lake in late sept. we are staying at Moores Resort. going to primarily catfish but looking forward to crappie too. any tips for some first timers? debating on whether to hire a guide for first day (one is based at Moores or close prob use him not sure of name) and then renting a boat for other two days. will also do bank fishing so we can spend as much time with poles in water as possible. are we better off just 'freelancing it" or should we use a guide since the lake is so big. really any tips would be great, types of bait that work well and what not. we are from Illinois and use shrimp quite a bit with moderate success. we are really looking forward to the trip and hope to make it a reaccuring event, especially if we come back with a cooler or 2 full of fish! thanks in advance for any worthwhile info and tips...
