Well the vacation was a success. My wife really enjoyed it, the kids had a blast, and daddy caught some nice fish
Thanks for all the tips, there really is a lot to do in the area for children.
I had some great days fishing, my biggest was a 4 lb LM, but caught a lot between 1-2 lbs. Had a real blast. My best morning though was when my eight year old son wanted to get up early and go out on the boat with me. He has been working on his casting with lures and this was the first time he sat in one of the chairs and casted all by himself while I was in another chair. I only caught one that morning, but he had five take his lure. He lost a real big one when it got near the boat, but it was real exciting for him and good experience fighting a nice fish. He landed two small ones, lost total of three. He is just learning the feel of not horsing them while at the same time not giving them too much slack.
Kentucky Lake now is easily my favorite lake in the area to fish, I just wish it was closer so I could easily go for just the day. I might have to make a few solo one night stays from time to time.
