bass fishing cave run

[Firefighter215]

I went out there 3/18/14 tuesday first day with my new boat and my first boat. Put in at leatherwood ramp and headed up lake. It didnt take me long to turn around after running up on a sumerged stump. Really didnt do much fishing just trying the boat out. It looks like my next investment will be a gps system.

There are channel markers in Leatherwood and on the main part of Beaver Creek until you hit the main lake...USE THEM!!!

Find Zilpo Campground on a map. The flats are just off the peninsula to the SW. Google maps has Zilpo and Twin Knobs confused, so try to find the Corps Map or Kentucky Division of Forestry.

I'm an idiot. Apparently, I don't know how to read a map. They have it right on Google. The flats are just north of Zilpo Campground. You can't miss em, I believe they have bouys marking them.

10-4 I am a week day warrior so hopefully all the weekend warriors will be at work and Ill be one of of the few on the lake. How are the flats around leatherwood. I was there back last fall and it was down quit a bit so I go to see some of the terrain I was dealing with up in there.

Where are you a Fireman at? Maybe I can help you out and give you a few pointers.

The zilpo flats are directly across the lake from the Alfrey ramp located on 801. There is a beach there as well. I wouldn't use the leatherwood ramp if I weren't familiar with the lake. That goes for a few other ramps as well. There's plenty of great fishing in the dam end of the lake too.

I'm with the Preston fire dept out around owingsville and was also on canoe in Jackson. As for the leatherwood ramp it was the one that was the less steep my truck is a v6 5 speed and some of those were a little steep for my trucks liking. And a few better ones where still closed.

When the lake comes back up Warrix is a less steep ramp, and Claylick isn't too bad, Scott's Creek is pretty steep tho.

If you're new to boating/fishing in reservoirs and you're not familiar with navigating channels marked with buoys, I strongly advise you to familiarize yourself. Cave Run has too many tree tops and stumps that can get you if not careful! In Beaver you better stay between the buoys and don't ride the edge to close, you'll get the scare of your life if not worse! Going up the Licking is deceiving. I'm comfortable on the lake but I've more than once have had a surprise on Licking. Cave Run is a Beautiful and fishable lake. Enjoy and be careful.

Yes sir, No Doubt!! The Licking is an animal, I wish they would bouy it. I can't run it thats for sure, although I know a few people who can, it is very dangerous.
