[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Dec-10-05 AT 08:29PM (EST)[/font][p] Hit the Clay's Ferry pool today with mooseknuckle.... We launched about 9am. It was cold. But after getting bundled up it wasn't bad at all. THere was a steamy fog rolling off the water this am.We didn't catch any fish. We spent a lot of time running those bluffs and looking. We marked tons of baitfish and bigger fish, but couldn't get anything to bite. We're not going to give up. The water depth in those bluffs varied from 19-30ft. Marked a lot of fish and pods of shad anywhere 8-19ft. Water temp at the lock at Boonesborough was 47.7 at 9am. Temp at 3:00pm at the Clays Ferry bridge was 46.9. Looks like the wind hits these bluff pretty fair. Now you will have to rotate them early or late for shade from the sun in bluebird conditions which we had most of the day. Water was extremely clear(for the river) down to about Hall's then slowly got just a little bit of color(not much) at Clay's Ferry. Water is also extremely low. WARNING......Warning....the first bluff on the right going downstream from the no wake zone post the 627 bridge....beware of a big laydown that has come into the lower unit zone since we have these low water conditions. YOU WILL NOT SEE IT IN TIME TO STOP...It's about 20-30yds off the right bank. Real close to the middle...We just happened to be fishing that bluff and backed off the back looking at depths when we saw it...What got us is that we ran close to that same spot on the way down. If we'd hit it, the motor would be gone so BEWARE...
We still have a lot of work to do...
Now the funny part....Come to find out ole Mooseknuckle is a good friend of mine I've know for about 15yrs, but hadn't seen him in about 5-6yrs....It's a small world.
Thanks for the ride Bryan. I had a lot of fun

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON Dec-10-05 AT 08:48PM (EST)[/font][p] Hey, my long lost buddy, I had a hell of a time today. I've had 7 people call since I've been home and ask me how we did. You're right. We do have alot of work to do{especially me}. Alot of these people that said we were idiots, didn't understand that it was either fishing or having to go shopping in Lex. with the old lady. I'd rather freeze to death and not get a bite than do that. Again, I had a great time and we'll do it anytime you want. Holler back at me!

Yeah, shopping in Lexington with the old lady was a real treat. There were several times in traffic on Nicholasville Rd. where I wish I had my 10-footer to reach out and smack the hell out of some of the idiot drivers.
LOL!!!!
Glad that you guys had a good time!

Mooseknuckle talked a lot about hybrids now that you mention it. I think if you had enough line and a strong trolling motor you'd have a better than average chance of landing one.
Fellows we;ve only just begun with this river scene. As long as it stays at a respectable level and doesn't get blow out it should be a good long winter study....
We need more bodies....
I'm going to try and twist ole Mooseknuckles arm and get him back out there again this weekend. This time we're going to through some blades on those fish at the bottom of those bluffs...

Don't sound like a bad idea. Just got back from the Dr. and not going back to work until, at least, until Jan. 2nd. I was sorry before but I hate to see how bad it will be when I do get back. But I'm ready anytime for a fishing trip you can get permission from BOSS! Hell, I'm beginning to believe she hates me, 'cause I've not had any luck getting you to the lake. To live 2 miles from C-land and not been on the water in over 2 months, now that's sorry! Call me!!
