[fish4food]

Any guides out there that might mark up some fishing maps with good fishing info for KY Lake in the blood river area??

Thanks

You got to be kidding? With a name like fish4food no one is that stupid to help out the meat hunters unless you pay.

I noticed that you didn't say what kind of fish you were after. I also noticed that one other guy posted a negative comment about your question. I assume he is a tournament fishermen or maybe a pure bass catch and release type of guy as why else would he nix your legitamate question about where to fish. After all this is a fishing discussion forum and the main question that EVERYONE wants to know is where are the fish and what are the hitting today. Right?

So here is an alternative assumption. Maybe just maybe fishforfood is asking about where to catch PANFISH, Catfish or some other species of fish BESIDE Largemouth, SmallMouth or Kentucy Bass?

If you are after crappie or other pan fish then blood river is a good place to fish. You may wish to visit the Kentucy DNR web site and look up the Blood River Crappie Tracking Survey Results. That may give you some good clues as to where the catch the slab crappie in the Blood River Area. Remember you can catch crappie year round if you know where they hang out

Most crappie this time of the year are found out on the ledges in relatively deeper water. Crappie may suspend about 10 to 18ft down below the surface and over deep water. They may still be relating to the ledges but they may not be right close to the ledge. The ledge may be at 18ft and the crappie can suspend out 100 yards from the ledge (horizontally) and then still be at 18 ft below the surface but over 50 ft of water. Try slow trolling though the channel with a spider rigged up boat. Speed of 1 mph to 2 mph work well.

HEY YA GOTTA LOVE ...CLAYLICK'S COMMENT...BUT REALLY, IM LIKE MOOSE1, WHO CARES IF THEY GET INFO FOR PAN FISH AS LONG AS THEY AREN'T KILLING OUR BASS. HAVE A GREAT TIME ON KY LAKE FISH4FOOD......SNIPER GONE

woh cares even if they are eating bass they are just as legal as everything else. One person is not going to hurt any fishing... i even keep a few about once a year.

Have you guys ever been to Islamorada, FL sailfishing? The captain on our charter boat told me,

"Sure, you can keep a sailfish. It's legal to do so. However, if we bring one in to the dock, we will be kicked out of the marina for good! Those fish are our livelihood. Killing one never goes over good in the eyes of others in our business."

This could easily relate to bass fishing...

I know nothing about sailfishing but I do know that thousands of bass a year are stocked into our lakes. The size and bag limits are put there for a reason. If it was a detriment to the fishing to keep some fish then they wouldn't have it in place. Tournaments are a lot harder on the bass than keeping a few legals every year. Get over it guys.

I have no dog in this fight, but only to clarify one thing. That is,there hasn't been supplemental stocking of black bass, not temperate in most of our Kentucky lakes in years. Don't flame on me I just wanted to clear that up, tightlines, Mark.

I've not seen anyone address the issue that the first poster is asking a guide to mark is map. The poster is not offering to pay for the information, just looking, apparently, for free intellectual property.

THAT to me is the question.

If he wants to keep fish in a legal fashion, I have no problem with that. If he wants to pay a guide to help him learn the area, I totally support his hiring of a guide, and I would reccomend Dave Stewart.

The original poster is also not demanding free information, he politely asked for said information. There is a difference and a polite question does not hurt anyone and it just might be his lucky day.

[Dave Stewart]

This post seems to be getting a lot of folks riled up one way or the other...I am a guide here on Ky Lake so let me put my 2 cents worth.

First, there is a state limit on bass and anyone that wants to catch some for food has that right.

Second, I am a full time catch and release bass guide..and in being so will not mark a map for anyone nor guide anyone that wants to keep the bass. It is my business and that is the way I run it. If you are wanting to just catch some bass for the fun of it and release them then I do mark maps for a price.

Third: If you are fishing for pan fish, catfish etc I would suggest you contact John Morgan to see if he will mark a map for you...he may or may not...some guides will not mark maps..especially panfish guides but you don't know until you ask..I can tell you that John is probably the top panfish guide in the Blood River area and has a good reputation. You might even consider booking a trip with him...he would be worth your while.

Fouth: If you want a catch and release bass trip I would be happy to accomodate you if I have a date open that would work for you.
