IM by myself and thinking of heading out toward Paduca Ky. Mon or tues to crappie fish on or near blood River, for a few days anyone have an idea on where i should call for a place to stay close to blood river, never fished there b4 but fished both barkley and Ky lake, anyone going that way and has some crappie places to share give me a shout, [email][email protected][/email], retired police officer
I usually stay in Aurora and put in at Kenlake or drive down Hwy 94 and put in at Irwin Cobb's or the publc launch. Fin and Feather is a great cheap place to stay.
try this link. Has several locations to choose from.[url]http://www.kentuckylake.com/accommodations.htm[/url]
went down there to ky lake this weekend for some crappie and bass fishing. jonathon creek and blood river are a congo line of boats right now. we fished them both thursday and there were at least 500 boats in each creek (not exaggerated even a little bit). my buddy's fished blood river friday and saturday both and said it just got worse as the weekend went on. we tried a bunch of the smaller creeks and did pretty well with little boat pressure. first time crappie fishing down there, time bass fishing. we'll just say they grow them big in that part of the state. we stayed at ken oak resort in aurora. sure the heck isnt the hilton but you cant beat their prices anywhere that i could find.
How far can you go up blood river right now and what type of cover is there? Just wondering i've never been to the back.
Your right, the people at Irvin Cobb aregreat. They helped me find a room to stay at and even offered to rent me a small room that they normally don't rent out. The charged $5 for the launch fee which is pretty typical. They had a great fish cleaning station and even have plenty of slips to keep your boat in if you want. The owners actually live above the bait shop so they keep a pretty good eye on stuff.
As far as how far up the Blood River you can go, I have no clue. I never needed to go up far. I found most of our black crappie in 10 foot of water on flat gravel beds. It was really hard to find. I glassed the area and noticed about 100 boats stacked ontop of each other. I fgured that was a good starting point for me. I will warn, I have seen boats stacked like before and no one was catching anything but on the Blood River, the stacked boats usually means crappie are near.

Word of mouth advertising is a powerful tool. Dave, all the positive advertising you get on this board is absolutely great but word of mouth advertising works equally in reverse when folks aren't treated as the deserve when they spend their hard earned money.
I have never read a negative comment about you and that is a tribute to great service, but the other folks deserve the comments that were posted on this board.
