Time to Relax and Ponder!
OK, there are (X) number of members on the KY board and we all share share a common interest in fishing (CATCHING), however, we are a diverse group of fisherman with different interest in fishing lakes, ponds , creeks and rivers. Thus, I thought it would be intersting to share 1st and second fishing passions.
Thus I will go first:
1. Sauger on the Ohio river
2. Green Fish on Lake Barkley
3. Brown Fish on LC or DH (OK, I know I said 2 choices, but it's hard to limit ones self!
OK, Let's hear from the rest of the board.....
Good Fishing,
Gary

Im an all around,catch anything,fish anywhere type of guy by nature.But the two most enjoyable would be:
1.Dale hollow Smallmouth......no comparison,no way no how.
2.Ohio River Hybrids......close to my house and allways a blast.
The most tasty:
1.Ohio River Sauger:Plentiful in fish and company
2.Farm pond bluegill and crappie
Most relaxing:
1.About 1 or 2am floating down the river drifting or anchoring catfishing.
2.Creek fishing alone anywhere.
Least relaxing:
1.Fighting for space and fishing room in the saugerrun 500.
2.Boat trouble
Re: Time to Relax and Ponder!

Re: Time to Relax and Ponder!
#1. Cool mornings on KY River with the mist rising off the water at sunup. Species irrelevant.
#2. Summertime fishing with my brother in Indian River Inlet (in DE) for blues and stripers.
Re: Time to Relax and Ponder!
For me, it would have to be :
1 - Catching Slab Crappie on jigs (casting or shooting docks) .. Spring/Fall .. any lake
2 - Catching LMB on crankbaits ... Summer nights .. Herrington

Re: Time to Relax and Ponder!
Too many choices. most relaxing, fishing the river, since i live between cumberland dale, just fishing, anywhere my heart tells me where to go.And I've been in many places and fished almost all the fresh water species.Two fish I cant recall, grayling, and squaw fish.Caught at least one of everything else.
Re: Time to Relax and Ponder!

Barren is getting up there higher on the list for the Greenies....:)
Re: Time to Relax and Ponder!
Right now:
1. FnF fishing on Lake Cumberland or Dale Hollow
2. Creek fishing from my kayak for smallies

Hey it's not like we need extra incentive to wet a line, however, if you ever think your time might be better spent, re-read this thread and THINK AGAIN!
Thanks guys for all your input, great reading your input and good fishing to all in the new year!

Re: Time to Relax and Ponder!
1) topwater fishing for stripers, anywhere.
2) topwater fishing for Hybrids, anywhere.
3) wading the creeks and fishing topwater for smallies.
Did I mention that I like to fish topwater :p I also find wading the creeks relaxing. If I can't catch stripers on topwater, then catching them on cranks/jigs would be right up there. Have also enjoyed hitting the surf in New England in the fall for stripers and bluefish. A lot of that is topwater action.
