WMA update

[Danny]

Another update on newly learned information. We learned today that the company that bought the land around us is the same company that bought the Ohio Co. WMAs just south of Rockport. They reemphasized that they will not tolerate any trespassing by 4 wheelers, hunters, or fishermen. Not sure what is going on, but also learned today that all the farm land, across from the boat ramp at the Central City ramp, in Ohio County I believe, has had someone just buy all the coal rights. Huge dollars mentioned. This will likely end up closing even more land off.

Sorry guys, please don't kill the messenger. Just trying to keep everyone updated as the information is coming in.

I also bought a peabody permit and after reading this post i called their office and was told that some of the land the lease included was sold but the land that island and south lakes are on would still be ran by kdfwr and those are the two lakes i fish at off of hwy 369 in cool srings. per the conversation i had with the gentelman at there office there will still be some land there to hunt and fish on but its a sad situation because there is some nice hunting and fishing down there and the amount of public hunting ground is slowly fading away.

Island and South lakes and I belive as far down to where Ken starts is still KDFWR, please correct if wrong. I live in Ohio Co and used to fish Peabody alot, some good bass in South and Island Lakes, but sometimes hard to catch, a lot of grass in these lakes, have to fish them different than a lot of lakes also they are clear most of the time, but these are fun lake to fish, take an extra trolling motor battery as you can drain one on these lakes as they are big. Danny keep me updated on this you can e mail me, see my other posts, as I live in Ohio co this effects me also as I live on top of coal also. Seems like coal destroys everthing that it effects, the miners are at risk from, black lung, cave in's, gas, etc etc, it also pollutes, Green house effect,and now our land, there was a call on my caller id that said West Ky Land, I hope it was a wrong number. NO COAL FOR SALE HERE, I'd rather use my land to grow corn and soybeans to make bio fuels to power my boat.

bobby,

I've not been down all the way back to kenlake, but my wife's uncle lives on Pond Run Church Road, and he has told me that Kenlake was gated off. Not sure or not.

As for West KY Land, not sure. We were told the name was West Land Company, and the only thing we could find on a search was about some land in Colorado being purchased. Then Pop told us that the owner was supposed to be currently in Colorado working out some land purchase.

pop has nearly 250 acres, and I've told him if he can get around 2 mil or more, sell, sell, sell.... LMAO. I told him he, my wife, and I could get us a nice place at the lake for all three of us to live. I love Cadiz. I was there this morning. Unfortunately not fishing though.
