I have not been able to visit the forum for a while being my wife and I have been in process of moving from one farm to another this past year. It has been a major move for us being we have 4 horses, 7 cats, 1 dog and a accumulation of 40 years of STUFF to move, including all the farm machinery. Some think we are crazy for pulling up and moving at our age, but we have our reasons for doing so. One reason is my wife wants to ride her horses here and the other is I like to fish. So here we are 3 miles from Alligator II Marina in Eli, Ky. Now you know why we made this difficult move. I plan to be back fishing as soon as possible, but we still have a lot of work to do here before winter. I understand stripers are bing caught in the jumps on the main lake and the KY's are starting to school up so there are fish to catch. I did catch some 10 to 11 inch bluegills in the spring along with some 12 to 14 inch crappie. After 46 years at the University Hospital, it is so good to be near the lake and work on the farm. Hopefully, I can give you some good fishing reports as time goes on.
