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).

Yep and prolly the best in town. Good local folks to buy from and they appreciate you much more than the chain stores.

Jacobson Park and the pond off of Richmond road can produce some fish, mostly smaller unless you get ahold of a cat or carp. You can also hit up the river just south of Lexington but I never had to much luck there. Best fishing I found was in the neighborhood ponds around town. Good Luck!

Thanks for all the help everyone! I went back to Elkhorn this evening but had no luck. Granted, I wasn't there long and it was kind of cold. However I did try the new Trilene Fluorocarbon that I put on both of my reels. Maybe I did something wrong when putting it on the reel but this stuff is terrible. The memory is the worst part. I may go back to the red Cajun monofilament I was using before.

I know there can be a case made for fluorocarbon but I have used it and decided against using it anymore. I'm an excel mono guy and I know it works just fine. Fished it for almost 20 years in many states and many type of cover. The trick to me is paying attention to your line while fishing. I do alot of flipping and pitching so I'm touching my line alot and if I feel a rough spot I'll retie to cut that out. Jmo
