Fishing the KBFN tourny Next weekend on the Carrollton pool. never fished this pool i've only fished the River once and did terrible...anybody have any info or advice?...you can PM me.

Stay home. lol lol lol. It is a tough pool but it has fish, locking up is out of play unless you want to take a chance. I am fishing it too, gonna be a tough one but fun neverless, good luck and be safe, I have fished it three times and 0 keepers.

Yeah I know.... that River could humble KVD, I've heard alot of bad things fishing wise from that river...although I really won't have much of a choice as to where I fish...(i'm just a non-boater) but I guess I'll just feel it out and see what happens...good luck Bobby!

Go up to the first dam on Ky river and throw a md copper color cb. Fish up in the white water and good luck. Also hit the right bank where there are poles along the bank on the way up. Might want to try throwin a gold spoon jiggin it up and down below the dam too on the right side and out a little ways, 100' or so.

its gonna be a mess with all this rain

Fishing in the whitewater below lock #1 should be off limits since it is in a restricted area. I would hate for somebody to lose thi=eir fish if the did do well.

The Kentucky river at lock 4 does not look to bad today. Current is a little fast, but does not seem to have an excess amount of drift. Color is good, not too muddy. Thinkin of going out in the afernoon tomorrow.

My father said at lock 2's pool is still pretty muddy and water is not that high but high enough. Funny thing is and I have done this too is shy away because of the water looking muddy, looking down on it but once you get on the water with the boat it is not as muddy as it looks.

I was going to pre-fish for this event, but I am a co-angler this year and when I did last year for the KBFN event I found fish and the jerk I was fishing with did not even TRY my spot until 20 min left in the day. He learned a quick lesson though cause I caught 2 on my first two casts and threw a rigged bait of what I was using at him to throw. He made one cast, caught his ONE fish and made us leave immediately. They were only 12-13 in KY's, but that's all you need there sometimes. 11 guys caught fish that day, all qualified, and I regretted helping him cause he ended up being a jerk. I figure this year I am not gonna do it again for fear that it will end up the same way and be a waste of my time. Its a shame that SOME, definately not all, think co-anglers are idiots and don't realize some of us ONLY fish this one as a co-angler and can help if asked. Anyway, good luck guys and I hope I get a decent pairing, for at least ONE day, with someone who at least pre-fishes it.... Take care and again GOOD LUCK this weekend.

Rob, co anglers have no say in where to fish or what spots they fish. It is in the rules, you can make a suggestion as to say that might be a good spot, but boaters are not supposed to fish your spot, as you have no spot. Also a lot of kbfn guys are on this board, so watch who you call a jerk as you might draw that "jerk again".

[MagikSmallie]

That's a good point I'm a non-boater too, and if you have a good spot its okay to suggest it.. but thats the whole point of being a boater is that you make the decisions on where to go and where not to go. if you want to call the shots where you fish you should just be a boater. I've got two boats and the only reason i'm not a boater is I like to fish with different people to see what they do and learn a little bit. but i would be careful like Bobby said you might draw them again. I just try to be polite and nice, and if I know of anything i may suggest it, but usually only if I'm asked. Even if I had a real hot spot and was killin e'm I'd may mention it. and then after that you just have to leave it up to the boater to make the call.
