Owensboro area bass fishing

[racersnare21]

I live in Owensboro and the bass fishing around here (to me anyway) is just not good. I dont have a boat, yet. Trying to get a jon or a little 2 man plastic boat. Anway I've fished Carpenter lake and peabody to death with very little luck from the bank. Not yet really tried the river as Im not sure where I can bank fish and have luck catching bass. As for Carpenter lake I know its way over fished and Im not surprised I dont catch anything but Peabody I have no idea whats up. I dont know if its the summer heat, even though I get out there at like 5am or what. It looks like it would be impossible to not catch fish there but more often than not I get skunked after fishing like every bank accessible lake on the Ohio co side. Sometimes not ever even getting a bite. If anyone has any ideas where a good spot is around Owensboro please let me know. I'll drive up to an hour away to fish, a little more if its worth it. I love to fish but I hate when I waste all that time and gas to get places only to get skunked.

you should fish windy hollow sometime... not much on big fish and you have to pay to fish cause its a camp ground ... or fish spotsville dam or newburgh dam on the ky side... i fish the ohio river alot and catch a few bass here and there i like to catfish and striper fish it alot... if you lived in indiana i could take you to several spots to fish

the bass fishing around owensboro is miserable at best--thats why there are no bass clubs in owensboro--I got sick of it so i started saving and bought a bass boat--now i always make the drive to kentucky and barkley to catch some bass

Hopkins County has a active "trolling motor bass club" and they have regular tournaments i think the club presidents name is Theron Shaw.
