First Week of December

[SuperSprint007]

Not on some musky waters in ky. Places like Buckhorn lake and green river lake have a "trophy" size limit on their impoundment. 40" is the legal keeper size limit and you are to keep 1 a day.

I was trying to find in the state regulations book the size limit on Green River Lake and only special regulation thing i found was crappie had to be 9". Did not see any musky special trophy regs? I don’t fish for them and was under the understanding that it was 30 on Green River Lake.

The size limit is posted at most boat ramps at GRL. I only go to green to fish musky, because they are a lot more plentiful than the ones at dale. since most of the time i am using lures that are on the large end of the scale, I'm not that bothered by bass stiking at them, usually.The down side of these large lures, besides price, is that after several hours of casting, my old body gets worn down. Three weeks ago I went to GRL, and casted in a steady down pour, everything got soaked, it took me three days to finally get the muscles to quit hurting, the results? one maybe follow. Slowly but surely, it is finally starting to sink into my thick skull, that maybe this inclement weather fishing just isn't worth the physical strain I'm putting myself through. It bnecame clearer to me, when I tried on my coveralls lastweek, and some one shrunk them, so as I was pricing a new set, I stopped and thought,I'm about to spend a lot of good money, to make myself less uncomfortabe, why not just wait till the weather improves, I no longer have to only worry about fishing my days off, ALL my days are off.But I still will think three times about week end fishing anywhere.

Fished Dale yesterday from lunchtime till dark. Had 4 bites and missed 3 of them. The one I connected with was a 20.5" on my golden rule. Slow bite for me, but a beautiful mid December spring day and a breath taking sunset too.

I agree the state park ramp is a little tough right now Larry, congrats on still being out there swinging at them. Hope I'm as lucky.

I dread the thought of ever needing to give my addiction tofishing. But this past year has been a real trial, but I have learned to cope with my minor medical problems, and maybe like two of my deceased wives used to say, fishing will be the death of me, so be it.Got stuck in two tornados, fell through the ice once, came back up in the same break off thank God. 8 ft waves on erie once, and I'm still kicking, but not as much! Should have went today, but listened and believed the weather man, what a schmuck!!!!!!!!!!

Weathermen get paid for lying. Only folks I know that tell more whoppers than fishermen.

I've developed an addiction to Dale Hollow lately, seems to be on my mind all the time. I was too sick to work yesterday and somehow wound up over there. The fresh air there does have recuperative powers.

First thing my boss said to me this morning was "Well, didyeketcheny?".
Me: "What are talkin about?"
Him: "You heard me."
Me: "Stomach flu's going around dude."
Him: "Right" (Laughing and choking)
