Those Peabody pits produce some big bass for sure....too bad many of them are being sold off and many of them are not going to be accessable to the public now. I caught some really nice bass out of them years ago.

There are a number of small honey hole type ponds around the state..most of them on private land that hold some really nice fish. As far as major public access lakes in the state Ky/Barkley is hands down the best for producing numbers of LM and although it is not Dale Hollow as far as numbers, we do have some nice S.M. here.

THANKS FOR THE INFO DAVE....I'LL DEFINETLY HAVE TO CHECK THAT OUT. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THEY WERE SELLING OFF THE PEABODY PITS....THAT'S TRAGIC! I'VE FISHED THERE FOR YEARS AND CAN'T IMAGINE NOT DOING SO IN THE FUTURE. SOME OF MY BEST FISHING DAYS HAVE COME FROM THAT RESERVE.....SAD. I WISH I HAD THE MEANS TO BUY ONE OF THOSE PITS! I KNOW EXACTLY THE ONE I WOULD BUY! OH WELL!
