Has anyone fished this lake

[dcbasser]

Both lakes are extremly tough right now. average tourny at woodscreeek is yeilding a mere 3 to 4 lb bags. we fished the other night and ended up catching 8 or 9 fish but only one keeper largemouth. laurel is producing better fish but unless you fish it reguarly she can be brutal. depending on which way your coming i would probably try dale hollow or cumberland.

Thanks for all the great post guys. DJD, yeah I read that post from Andy. Now that's a fish. Andy, yeah it's alittle out of the way. I have a could of lakes around here to fish ( Buckhorn Lake and Carr's Creek ) but notthing big has came from either of them, well not bass anyway big musky and cats just not bass. Thats why I was thinking about Wood Creek. Oh by the way congrats on that monster bass. Dcbasser, I'm coming from Hazard, east of london. Cumberland and Dale Hollow would be farther to drive. Would still like to try them though. Thanks DJ

Let me know when you plan on coming this way. I'll try to give you some info on whats going on to the best of my ability. We usually fish one or the other at least once a week. Long haul from hazard to take a chance on these two. Even the regular 3 a week fisherman are struggling with them. However a lot of little fish are being caught out of woodscreek ( 10-13 inch) and it doesn't yield very many smallmouth. Once the weather starts cooling down in mid to lat sept. laurel would be a real nice choice. Them monster smallies and largemouth will be turning on at night. Just send me a p.m and i'll try to help you out.

buddy of mine caught bout a 6 1/2 pound largemouth out of buckhorn fishing for musky on a top water bait, bout 8:30 ...

He should have took it to the marina and let them put it on the scales, most likely would have been a lake record. I have hear of several bass caught out of there in four and five lbs range but noone has them weight and recorded. The last year the lakes best was posted at the marina was 4lbs 7ozs. May have changed since then though. I haven't been inside the marina at Buckhorn in a long time. I try to make sure I have everything I need before I get to the Lake because I know it costs twice as much to get it there....lol

Csparks, That's alot bigger that anything I seen or heard of coming out of that lake. He should have had them wieght it at the marina. It would have been a lake record I'm sure. The biggest that I've heard of being caught out of buckhorn was a little over 4 lbs. it was the lake record the last time I was in the marina. Could be different now, I haven't been in the marina in a couple of years or so. I try to make sure I have everything I need before getting to the lake...lol... 6 1/2 pounds is bigger than anything I have ever pull out of that lake, that's a nice fish. May be some hope for caughting some bigger fish around here after all. Carr's Fork Lake has had some 5-6 lbers pulled out of that lake but not so much here in the last year or so.
