KY Lake Guide Service Blood River Area

[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.

Dave you telling me,if i pay you to take me out and i catch the biggest bass of my fishing life, you ant going to let me put this fish on my wall? I really dont think you would do that to a fellow would you?

You know I have had a lot of folks over the past few years catch the biggest bass of their life and they all decided to get a replica made (if they wanted a mount at all). I have not had anyone in my boat in a number of years that really wanted to keep a big fish for mounting that they had caught. If you insisted I would let you keep it but I would do my best to encourage you to to take the pics and measurements and release the fish so that someone else would have the thrill of catching that big fish again not to mention keeping the gene pool in the lake of that big fish.

thats a much more reasonable answer,than the one i read this morning Dave. Im just as much about catch and release as the next guy, But i would like to have a realy nice mount...... Happy huntin
