Thread: KY Lake Advice Needed Late March

Hi All, wondering if any of you would be willing to help me out. I have been a die hard hunter for years and in the past 10 years got into fishing because my father gave me a boat when he upgraded. I have got hooked on crappie fishing a couple of lakes but my experience mostly is just shooting docks with jigs. I have been making a trip to Canada the last 5 years with my son but would like to take a trip with my Dad. I get concerned about taking him too far north far away from medical care as he is getting older and has had some medical issues. My wife is going on a mission trip to Honduras last week in March so I thought it might be good time for Dad and I to take a short trip to KY lake. Son may also come as it's spring break for him. I briefly tried spider rigging last year but haven't mastered it yet. We would probably be just casting and not spider rigging. I have done a little research and I am thinking about the blood river area. I am looking for any suggestions you have for making this trip successful. I don't want a fancy place to stay but I do want one that is clean. Basically just looking for a place to sleep and clean fish. How hard is it going to be to find fish without a guide?

There are some great guides in that area and it may be worth it for a one time trip. If you're interested in that let me know. My father and I went last March with a guide to the blood river and it was a great trip. That being said, you should be able to find plenty of spots there. I have more information on boat ramps, etc. If you're interested, just send me a PM.
