Holiday weekend fishing.....

[LarryG]

Me, I'm going to cut the grass, read a book, and watch DVDS.I gave up on most week ends a few years ago. One of the nice things about being retired.By the way, filled up this morning in burkesville, cause I needed to take my friend to Louisville, it was 3.70 a gal. filled up at glascow on the way back, 3.62. Burkesville went5 to 3.85. the nuts will be out this week endeven at night, and it wont get better till late october. No one seems to care how high the price of fuel goes up to.How did a holiday week end start on thursday?and last till tuesday?

I'm in 100% agreement with all you guys on this subject of holiday weekend fishing, fishing being over until October, etc...I'm sort of like Mhall in that I basically shut down my fishing at this time of year...its times like these that I need to read a good post from Elnut to sort of get a desire to go...I remember dicussing this one time before and he replied about how good fishing could be during every month of the year (gotta love a post like that!)

As for me and fishing from now through October...it will be slim to none most likely and will most likely take place in a river or stream somewhere....and a farm pond until it gets too covered with moss, duckweed, etc to fish. Unless...UNLESS I decide to try out a plastic frog, maybe one with a hollow body..retrieve that sucker across the top of that pond scum and see what she'll do!

Happy Summer to everyone!

Let's play play big weekend BINGO!!!

B - You see a moron plowing through the no wake zone at full throttle because he/she forgot to put the plug in.

I - You see someone's boat slide off the trailer and end up in the middle of the ramp.

N - You get swamped by jet skis and wakeboard boats

G - Someone hits your vehicle/boat trailer in the parking lot and doesn't leave a note.

O - You have to tow a drunk boater to the boat dock to fill up on gas and beers.

FREE - You see someone block the boat ramp because they don't know how to back a boat in.


I probably have a leg up on all you doods, cause I'll be down at Barren this weekend.

Have fun and be safe!!

I'll still be out but stay away from the weekends, and plus the fossil beds kind of weed out any boats that don't know there way. lol. And the only buckeye navy that I have to deal with are coming down I-71 on my way. Mark give me a call if you get tired of dealing with them down at the big C. Dizzle I allready have a O...But nobody gave me a tow back I paddled..lol Chuck

Hey Mark, where were all those wavemakers when we needed em?

I will be down at Barren trying to cross the lake at Bailey's Point. Last year, it was launch your boat, slowly pull out and wait 10-30 minutes before you think it might be safe enough to cross the lake.

Be safe everybody!

Oh I will still be fishing my two or three times a week. but it wont be as much fun as it is in the off season. Now it will be very early in the AM, and off the water by 0930, thats about the time the pleasure craft start their day. Then on some days its get to the dock at 7:00 pm, fish for 4 or 5 hours and get back to bed. I have another option also, I'm just 9 miles from the river, and so far there has been no water skiers seen on that river, and just a few jet skiers. I never was big on holiday week ends, working at a continuous operation job, I probably worked most of them, along with most of the holidays.One long week end a month, and a lot of week days off.
