Its time to do away with the slot limit on Cave Run!

This past year the state stock bass in Cave Run it was needed but the sad fact of the matter is that many of the stocked fish never got to live past their first year..

live bait fisherman have taken many of these fish because its not breaking the law to take them..

The lower end of the slot 0-13 inches is un-protected when the state stocked Cave Run many of these fish were easy pickins for live bait, in my view this was a waste because many of these fish never seen the first spawing bed before they ended up in someones frying pan..

its plain that this lake doesn't have a over populated bass population
or the state wouldn't stock the lake with more bass to start with.

I'm starting a grass roots movement to close the lower end of the slot
If you feel the same as I do its time to speak up

chris I agree with you, the slot has been on for way to long. It should go away and and there should be a 15inch minimum on large mouth bass, check the other lakes around Kentucky and you will see most have at least a 15 inch minimum on large mouth,
this has been brought up several times in the past from people who fished Cave Run since it opened. They knew, and we know now that the slot needs to go.
Several items have been placed across the lake (habitat program) and a big thank you is in order for that.
lets focus on the problem at hand' small mouth and large mouth fishing at Cave Run is terrible, several men are meeting with Rich Storm this Friday and we will be disgusing several issues.
We are hoping that the committee will consider the changes. They meet September. Let's keep trying, it may happen.
