    Re: Kentucky Afield show this weekend

    Did anyone see the show last week the 25th or 26th when they had the segment on the gentlemen who made replica's of antique lures? I was trying to find some contact information to purchase some of his lures. I know it said they where on ebay but was unable to find them on that site any help would be appretiated.

    Many a big slab crappie have been caught on a float and fly. You you might call that a bobber and jig. Same difference IMHO.

    This method of using a slip bobber has won back to back Crappie USA tournaments on Patoka Lake. Spring 2003 and 2004. Or maybe it was 2002 and 2003. Look it up on the www.crappieusa.com web site. Frank Ison and Brian Ethridge use this method in 12 ft of water fishing 8 ft deep with a slip float by Betts and a 1/16 oz jig head with a White Lighting Squirmin Squirt tube jig body. Don't forget to add the Chartreuse Colored Crappie Nibble from Berkley to help the fish bite. The smell of the dissolving crappie nibble can make fish bite a bare hook at times. So it's a must have item these days.

    There is something about a jig hanging right over the fish's heads and having it moved only by the bobber and the wave and wind action on the bobber as the surface. The dangling tentacles of the Squirmin Squirt Tube Jigs proves irresistible to LM Bass, SM Bass, Crappie and many other fish. I have even caught 14" long herring or skip jacks on this setup at Kentucky Lake. I caught a 4 to 6 lb freshwater drum fishing near the mouth of a creek on KY lake one time.

    But you all can have that cold water fishing. If any of you ever fall out of the boat in the wintertime you will know why I won't fish in the winter months anymore. It's bad enough to trip and fall out of your boat in July. But to do that in Jan or Feb would be deadly when fishing alone. The wind can blow your boat away faster than you can swim to catch up to it.

    I will say this. It would not hurt to trail a 100 ft long floating rope behind your boat just in case. I learned this trick while scuba diving in the Gulf of Mexico where there are strong currents and some times when you surface away from the boat the current can carry you away from the boat. That long life line rope can save your life and allow you to get back to the dive boat even against a strong 4 mph current. A Olympic swimmer can't swim long against a 4 knot current. And if you are dressed in layers of warm clothing and wearing heavy boots even a lift jacket won't help you that much if you can't reach the boat and get dried off and warmed up. Hypothermia kills. So don't fall out of that boat. I guess it helps to have a big 21 ft long boat that's wide and stable. Aluminum boats are more unstable and they are easily blown across the lake by the winds.

    An upcoming segment of Kentucky Afield, which airs the weekend of Feb. 2-3 on Kentucky Educational Television (Saturday at 8:30 p.m EST, and Sunday at 4:30 p.m. EST), will detail the finesse presentation where a 1/16-ounce hair jig is fished on light line 8 to 14 feet below a small plastic bobber

    maybe try those dates...but if they are wrong dont bother tell me.

    Most people don't think about being able to catch up with their boat in current or wind. Even if it was 90 degrees and you were fishing by yourself, without a life vest 1 mile offshore on a ledge at KY Lake, would be life threatening to me. I doubt I could swim that far. That's why I wear my life jacket at all times.

    The rope idea would be a pain in the butt to throw a rope out, and pull it back in at every stop, but would be nice to have if you fell in for sure.
