We're to fish on MLK day?

[ErikSmith]

I live in louisville and don't have a boat. With the water being chilly and some rain and snow coming in, should I even bother? Wonder how the tailwaters of nolin or t-ville will be? Or the falls of the Ohio? Anyone got any tips or suggestions? Not stuck on any species and Would like to fish for anything. maybe cats on the Ohio if it's low enough. What do u guys think?

The tailwater here in T-ville has been up and down a lot lately trying to get it to winter pool and with the recent rain, and the forecast I would not bother there. If I had to fish, I would find a deep eddy somewhere and put a catfish bait on the bottom.

I don't know the Ohio around L-ville, but it's prime sauger time

Since I dont have a large enough boat, I think I;m going to go to Mcneely lake and fish with redworms, minnows, and some liver, and see what I catch. Should I fish close to the bottom with it as cold as it is?

Sounds a bit like jealousy to me. Have fun working.

Nope......I get PLENTY of days off............Spent 28 at KY, and 22 at Dale this year.

Not to mention 2 Serious 10 day trips to Canada.

Nothing to do with jealousy. Everything to do with a silly holiday, but hey that is just me.

Geo,

Are you saying that MLK did not make a significant contribution to society? What specifically are you trying say with this comment?

I think he's saying that he doesn't celebrate it. He has that right. This needs to stop right here, right now.

How about starting a movement for a Nat'l Take Off Work and Go Fishing Day??? Ideally sometime in April or May and no jet skis or pleasure boats allowed on the water.

Well I have the right to say people need to keep their political opinions to themselves! This a fishing message board & the first time I've ever read a post that was filled with ugly undertones. So, I'll keep it fishing focused.

Fished Nolin tailwater today. Outflow was fairly mild at 900 cfs. Fished 1st eddy past rip-rap using slip bobber about 3 ft with white fuzzy tail grubb. Casted out to edge of current & jerked bait back through eddy. Caught a few nice crappie & whites. Tons of bait in the water & caught a bunch of gizzard shad also.

I've never been to nolin but it seems to be awesome according to everyone I talk to. Might have to give it a try one day.
