Ponds and small lakes are where I got my start. You have a better chance of landing a large bass in a farm pond than in a lake. Most lakes also rent small fishing boats, you just supply the trolling motor and battery. When we fish at Reelfoot it has so many stumps we just rent a boat and put our trolling motor on it. Does anyone know if Taylorsville lake has any small boat rentals? Thats fairly close to Louisville. Stream fishing is alot of fun in the Summer also.
