Army, 82nd airborne division, 2-505 PIR combat medic. Any good areas in Lexington. I'm willing to make trips on the weekend. I just don't want
to travel around like I have been and go 7 day trips and 2 bass. Lol. Tanks everybody else too. Don't have much smallmouth out west but I'm willing to try it out, I mean a bass is a bass right? Lol. Plus I've heard they fight like twice their weight so that could be fun. Gonna have to do some research. Any river in peticular that's consistently good?

Evangel church off Preston Highway. I forget name of road,,,,maybe Minors Ln. 2 real nice size ponds back in there catch lots of bass,cats,bluegills and even some crappie.
It is a old slate rock quarry that (from old mans fishing tale) hit a natural water spring and filled with water. Fisherman's tale is that all the heavy equipment is still at the bottom!
Go out there to the big pond which is pretty much a lake and cast out some crank baits. Usually beautiful clear water.

well kudos on the service i'm a weekend warrior 12B/21B depending on the armys mood each month. Theres a couple decent public park ponds around here. elkhorn creek has some nice smallies around here. and hey once i get my boat up and running if you don't mind fishing out of a 14' jonny i could always use an extra fishing buddy most my friends are more crappie and bluegill kinda guys, wouldn't mind hitting up taylorsville again in a month or so haven't been there in a couple years

I was a member for two years, when I didn't have boat here in Louisville. I think they've made some improvements since I've been out there, but it was very nice back then even before the improvements.

I liked it - can pretty well walk around the majority of the lake. There's a playground for the kids, lots of open grass areas for them to play as well. I would think for a guy that wanted to fish, and let the kids play on their own while doing so, it would be perfect.

I wanted to get in on the weekly trap shoots, but my schedule never allowed it back then with school and studying. Looked like a lot of fun!

I think it's a bargain really, and there's some really good bass in that lake!

Good luck... you will find that bass fishing in Ky ain't all that great If you were in south eastern ky I could help make it more bearable.

If you're interested in joining as a non-boater we have a small bass club In Taylorsville. We have members from Louisville to Lawrenceburg. We fish draw tournaments, once a month from March to Oct. different lake each month.

Welome to the board and thank you for your service. Don't forget about the big O ,its close and might not be a tremendous bass fishery but if you like the thrill of catching big fish you can't go wrong with all the different spiecies. I love my big cats but also enjoyed fishing out in CA. for salmon where the American and the Sacrimento rivers meet, not to mention the trout that live in some of the ditches and the huge bass that I got into out in some farm ponds when I was there. Oh the memory's, oh well welcome again and good luck,Chuck
