It gets hammered by tournaments almost every day of the week. Those bass have seen every luer made atleast four times. Then add all of the pleasure boaters and you got a bad mix. It's close proxcility to Louisville has lured everyone with a canoe or larger to slam the lake. The last time I went was Labor Day 2004 and it took me an hour to get my baot in the water and it got worse from there. Have you ever seen that sceen in "Jaws" where they have all those boats in the water out fishing for the shark hoping to cash in on the bounty. Well it was just like that... people everywhere bumping into each other, cussing and yelling. I know that it was a major recreational weekend but good lord.... I have not been back since and don't plan on going. My brother-in-law has fished it in the past and says that there are some nice fish in the lake, but they are VERY dificult to catch.

I fish Guist about once a month when the weather and water level is suitable. It too gets alot of presure, but no where near the presure of T-ville. There are some really nice fish in the lake as well, with 5#'ers taken frequently. You might want to give it a try if unless you put down a deposit on the boats at T-ville.
