Great trip elwood. Bout time you had a good one. Now it's time to come down to laurel my friend. I need some help finding some brownfish and can't wait to see your aproach to what I call the most intimidating lake in Kentucky. Let me know when you get a chance to fish her and I'll take a night out with you. You probably hold the key to fishing her for I feel the fish come in the wee hours in the morning ,just hard to find the night owls to fish her that long.

Bought me a Laurel map last week and sat with Chunknwind and located several spots on the map to begin the venture. Probably marked 40 or so spots and just have to get the C Rig out to drag to see if any cover is on them to really hold some fish. I have my approach in mind and it is similar to Dale Hollow except for the grass since there is very little in Laurel that I know of or hear of. I bet I did not make 15 cast that landed in less than 5 feet of water in the 27 hours on the water at Dale the past couple of days. I have been really trying to get away from just beating the banks like I used to and it has taken me a couple of years to learn but I have no problem pulling up in the middle of the lake to throw out a marker bouy and make a cast into no mans land. It has paid off well and I will be doing the same at Laurel. With it so close, I will be fishing it even more than Dale so we will share a boat together and both learn a bit. No problem in spending 12-15 hours on the water fishing or catching. We all have to do our share of "Fishing" before we can "Catch". I did a couple of hours last night before dark of nothing but running to spots with my map and looking at the depth finder or dragging a C Rig to see what was down below and added 5-6 new spots to fish but probably looked at 15 or so but settled on the 5-6 to add to the map. Worked out well and will be doing the same to learn Laurel soon. Later

Elnuts --- way to go.....sounds like you fished a great spot for those green fish...... hate to hear about all the fog but guess that rain / front cooled things down a bigt and probable cause of the fog :-( ..... again, thanks for the report .... tight lines....

You might want to save this for your next trip I live here and try to stay on the fish through out the changes, we are agents for several seasonal rentals, which will have the room and features, not quite set up for a single person but if u get a few buddies we can help in lots of ways thanks
