And I think the real mission of this board, is to generate enough hits, to make the folks that run it $$ when they can sell advertizing space. And that makes sense to me and seems absolutely fair. In providing a service, the hits rack up, and its the hits the advertizers want to see before paying for space. So I'd like to see us all post everything twice so the moderators can get filty rich and take us all fishing!

The moderators here make the exact same amount of money that you make off this site.And I think the real mission of this board, is to generate enough hits, to make the folks that run it $$ when they can sell advertizing space.

Not intended to offend, advertizing I thought helped offset the costs of operating the board. Didn't mean to imply anybody was sending kids to Purdue
A friend of mine sent his kids to Purdue. Then when they left, he moved to Georgia.

Rudypoo, I'm glad you said that, let me elaborate.
Bass fishing is a competitive sport pushed towards catch and release and not catch and eat. As for any fish other than the black bass I'll tell you whatever you want to know. I'll even tell ya how to fish for bass, and if ya want to get together I'm sure you could pull some more detailed info. Fishing with someone is the best way to share secrets, not a board. Call me a butthole but if the day ever comes that I find a honey hole, I'm zippin' my mouth! I might just stay on the water a few days straight and enjoy it while I can. I am competitive as a bass angler, you have to be because the rest of the big shots are playin' the game too. Do you know how many tournament fishermen have stories lined out before they get back to the ramp?, I only listen to the ones I know and am closest too and they too throw me off for the fun of it. The senior members on here have been sharing info and taking people fishing since at least '04-'05 when I was first on fishin.com.
I didn't intend to have a bad attitude of fishing. I have been reading Buck Perry and In-Fisherman collections since the mid-'90''s, and work with fishing conservation services online to pass my love for the sport/pasttime. We should go fishing sometime.

Rudypoo, here is a link that will answer some of your questions about fishing below Wolf Creek Dam.

One of the problems with posting detailed info on this site, or any other for that matter, is that you do not know everyone who is reading that info. Could be someone wanting to take out their family for a fun day on the water or it could be a poacher.
Personally, I think you do someone a better favor by telling them HOW to catch the fish rather than WHERE to catch them. For example, you turn someone on to several spots that produced for you a couple of days ago. They head to those areas and find others fishing them. Now what? If you gave them some info such as: slow roll a spinnerbait tight to the wood, look for the wood in 10 feet of water, they prefered the 1/4 oz size in white, they can then find a number of places that will hold fish and catch fish. In the process they may actually have learned something that they can put to use the next time out.

Fatboynorm,
My post wasn't really pointed only at you, but your post was what I wanted to contrast against. If you are a tournament guy, then sure, i can understand why you wouldn't want to give away spots, but that still doesn't mean I agree with it.
Fishing to me is just about as much fun as a guy could ever have, and I get a lot of joy out of helping out anyone who needs a spot to fish. I give out spots because I know there will always be fish around to be caught, as long as we do our best to manage the resource. If I get to a spot I have given out, and there are 10 other boats there, all I can say is I hope they are catching fish, and I either join them, or move on. It makes no difference to me.
The lakes in KY are full of fish just waiting to be caught, and I want to be the guy to catch them. But my biggest asset in finding a good fishin' hole is to share information with others, because more often than not, they will remember my generosity, and if I ever ask for help on a lake, those people usually step up and help me out, and that right there is a good return on investment. You make a friend, and pick up a fishing spot in the process. You just can't beat it.
I will admit, I am sure some people on this board are not as helpful to me because they know I like to eat bass, and to a lot of bass fishermen that is a big no-no. I just think that is really sad though. In all reality, I may keep 15-20 bass a year, never take more than the limit, and never take more than I think I will eat. But some guys just can't look past that, and won't offer a guy some fishing help because of it. But oh well, I'll help them out if they ask anyway, makes no difference to me.
P.S. Norm,
We can go fishing any time you want. I'm always up for a fishing trip.

Well it sounds like every single person on this thread is equally helpful in their own way. I have given several good bass away for food but those fish weren't going to make it if I threw them back. I'll tell ya why some us tourney fishermen don't wan't to see anyone eating a black bass: Countless times before and many after, the effort that goes into preparation of a major tx only to end with less than you started with. It seems so hard to put a keeper in the boat sometimes that they get about the same popularity of gold. But in all actuality, and especially with increasing awareness, eating bass isn't hurting anyone one bit. It does feel good to tell someone where to go and it actually gets them fish in the boat, but sometimes the competitive edge gets the best of us and we will guard our knowledge until the damage is done. Take for instance KVD, notice when he shows you his cb, he only lets you see one side of it. Didn't want you to know that he removes one of the eyes!
Happy Fishing!

I dont mind at all giving out general info on say Ky lake,even keep a small website just for that-Not a forum-just info website
As for what baits sure many times many baits work,spots general locations such as main lake flats newjohnsonville-their is a discharge there by the way.
Is any hole or ledge yours on ky lake,kind of doubt it most are community holes,many of those fishing a particlar ledge seem to think it theirs,someone showed them most likly or they found it same way as others.Courtesy is appreciated by all so give it in return.
With 2100 miles of shoreline shurely you can share it with a few thousand others.
About the only thing I dont do is give exact coordinates,most with eyes and ears who listen can find whatever I describe,often containing a pic.

i have offered "the exact spot" (mouth of lily), "the exact bait" (4 inch gizzard shad) , "the exact depth" (15-25 feet) "the exact time" (as soon as you can see your rod tip) to another gentleman(peter) on this site via PM. we limited every morning and "my pattern" didnt do him much good......i felt bad for this gentleman because he will gladly return the favor of a "hot-bite" if given the chance. HOWEVER had i posted this info on the open forum it would have been standing room only and he probably would have had to start elsewhere anyway.
i will never turn anyone down on the PM , i have found that the people you help via pm (peter and two others) are eager to offer what theyve found.
pretty good trade in my opinion since all of us occasionally stand there and scratch our bewildered heads as what to do next

I give you an A+ for originality! That's great!
