Ky Lake or Lake Fork??

[Toadman]

I agree with Dave on this one totally. The Army Bass Angler Team is based out of Texas and I get REAL sick of hearing about how hard it is to win on Falcon. Poor guys don't even place in 200 boat tournies with 25-26 lbs sacks!!! I fished Fork during the Skeeter Owners Tournament we helped run this year and was not on the lake 10 minutes before I got my first 5 lber. I was excited and they looked at me like "what's the big deal, those are a dime a dozen?". Now I do enjoy a good day at KY Lake, but if I had 10 days to go, I am DEFINATELY in TX! Good luck and best of fishing to you either way you decide!

Fork has a 16 to 24 inch slot and only one fish in a 5 fish limit can be over 24 so the other 4 have to be under 16. Unless everyone is catching 16 and 17 pound fish ( the lake record is 18 ) how are guys not placing with 25 and 26 pound sacks? It would be hard to have a sack over 25 on a lake were 4 of your fish are 2 to 2.5 pound keepers and only one toad.

Just passing on what I know about that lake. That is one of the reasons the big trails like FLW and BASS don't have tournaments there.

The slot limit you're talking about is for Fork. He's refering to tournaments on Falcon.

I think he was referring to Amistad and Falcon.

I stand corrected. I thought he was talking about Fork since the OP was asking about it or KY Lake. I'm going to Falcon in Feb.

Man I would love to fish that lake, ''It's So Easy A Caveman Could Do It'', lol. Pigs everywhere!

That's what they say. LOL!! We hope to tie into some fish over 10 pounds. My buddy that has been down there has caught a 12 and said the likelyhood of getting one over 10 is very high. He caught his 12 during the fall so going close to the spawning period should help our chances. I'd settle for 6 and 7s all day too!!

HiDef,

In my post I was referencing "Falcon", not Fork, as the place I would go if I were making a trip that long anyway. And on Falcon, they have NOT placed with sacks that size. You are right about the slot limit on Fork, and that IS a BIG issue for not having events there. One of the events I heard of that was held there was done my "Radio communications", the anglers would call in their fish and weight (as confirmed by the "observer" in the boat so as not to ever have two overs. I don't think this went as well as they thought and I have not heard about it again, so who knows. Sorry for the confusion with my post, I was thinking faster than I can type sometimes though Good catch.
