Welcome to the board. Also, you're about an hour away from Cave Run lake.

Welcome to the board. Also, you're about an hour away from Cave Run lake.

Thanks. I don't think I've ever been to Cave Run Lake before, even as a kid. I may have to drive over there sometime. But I've seen Guist Creek Lake in Shelbyville mentioned on here. I hadn't ever heard of it until finding this board. So I may check that place out too (provided I'm able to fish from the shore in some way, no boat )

Welcome aboard.

Welcome...I used to fish Silver Creek in Richmond years ago. There used to be lots of smallies and LMs in there. Also, try and make friends with people that have ponds on their land. There is no better place to learn the skills of fishing than at private ponds...you always catch fish! Good luck!

Welcome to the board! Get out to Jacobson Park right now if you're wanting to catch some bass. Fish a spinnerbait, square bill crankbait or Rat L Trap around the trees. I've not fished it in several years but have caught some nice bass out there in the past. Getting a boat over to the golf couse side will get your best results.

I have an open back seat in my boat most of the time. I'll gladly share my knowledge as limited as it may be. I usually fish Laurel,Cedar and a couple smaller lakes.

Interesting. I'll try and get out there tomorrow depending on the weather.

I just got back from the Cardome Ramp area on Elkhorn Creek in Georgetown. Fished there for about 45 minutes with no luck. BUT, I went to Sportsman's Warehouse after and got a few things. Picked up some 1/8oz jig heads, Strike King bitsy tubes, Berkley Gulp! (Leeches, worms and shaky shad) along with a small spool of Trilene Fluorocarbon line to try out. All I've ever used is monofilament.

You didn't happen to stop by Backwaters today did you? Someone stopped in when I was checking out and was given a map of the local area. Was that you?

Nope. Wasn't me. What's Backwaters? Is that a store?

Welcome to the site. Read the board; these guys are a lot of help. Read the fishing reports and articles on the board too. With the internet; you have tons of information at hand.

But most importantly; get out and fish when you can and want to. I started up fishing about 8 years ago and know what most of these guys are talking about now. I don't always know what I am doing but continue learning.

Have fun.

Backwaters is a bait & tackle store in Lexington. They have a great selection of baits, rods, reels, etc. They're located on New Circle Rd., across the street from Sam's Club (East side of town).
