[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Mar-13-06 AT 01:13PM (EST)[/font][p]Hey Greg, are you fishing this weekend? We have a tournament at Barkley this Saturday. This ABA division puts on a great tournament, I was surprised how well it went and the extra things they did with only 17 boats in it. It was a good time, but I am going down Thursday to do some practice because I am going as a boater, but me and Scott will be out there if you want to join, even bringin' the wife with me this weekend so if you want you should fish it. There is a membership fee, but the tournaments are $55 dollars, you can fish any division which each one has like 8 or so tournaments a year, and you take your top 4 in points to qualify for the championship which is going to be held on Kentucky lake this year! But let me know if interested, we also fished at Nolin Sunday, Scott got first, I third on the Cast side. Fishing was tougher there then Ky, but when is it not. No meeting this week because of spring break, but I will keep you posted. --Tight lines (it'll happen)

Eric,
I can not fish this weekend, the frame on the boat trailer broke on my home from KY Lake. I am looking for a new crossbar now. The only thing that held it on was one of the boat tie downs and the motor support. I have 4 day's at KY Lake starting the 22nd - 25th of March. BFL
I hope to get down there a few days and try to find some fish, I was going to see about going out with Dave Stewart on the 23rd but the Rules for BFL won't allow it. I need to spend a day with him on KY Lake and see what I am doing wrong down there. I know I can catch fish, it is just killing me right now not finding anything. Sound like you guy's are doing good, way to go!!!! And good luck next weekend.

Greg

Gregory: You might want to check out the "Fishing 101" section at www.explorekentuckylake.com I wrote that section last year and it addresses fishing Ky/Barkley during the different seasons of the year and gives suggestions for patterns and lures. Check out the Largemouth Bass part of that section....the patterns we caught fish on this past weekend (and lures) are right there for you to read in the "early prespawn" area.
I would be happy to take you out on a Lake Familiarization trip whenever you can do so without breaking any rules of the tournaments by being out with me. I think the trip I am talking about will help you as it is basically an indepth expansion on the "Fishing 101" article in the LM and SM areas.

Thanks Dave for the reply, I have read those 101 articles. I do want to setup a day with you on the Lake. It will need to be before the next BFL LBL tourment on May 6th. The deadline for that tourment is April 18th. So it will need to be on like April 15th if you are open for that day. I will give you a call.
