But, alas ... it's nearly 40yrs later, and many things have changed down there. The biggest change has been the emergence of the Black Crappie as the dominant species in numbers. They tend to spawn a bit earlier than White Crappie, so unless conditions don't allow things to progress in a normal fashion .... you're likely to be a few weeks late (for shallow spawning fish, anyway).

As far as number of views being an indication of tight lips .... not necessarily. If you look at the bottom of the page/screen ... you'll see that only 27 "members" have viewed the thread. The others "may" have been non-members (aka "lurkers"), and some don't cotton to giving out info to them. They could also be repeat looks at the thread, as the counting is done for anytime the thread is opened/viewed.

We wouldn't tell you to stay off our lakes ... your money is the same color as ours

Ain't nothin' wrong with your line size/color ... and what method you'd use would depend on where the fish were located. Color preferences change ... but, most anything with a little Chartreuse in it should get their interest.
I'd suggest that you read thru this : Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources - Preliminary Results .... and apply it to whenever & wherever you end up on Ky Lake.

You're likely to get as much "information" (of the type you're seeking), once you get there, as you will here ... just by observing where/how others are fishing. Talk to the other anglers, especially those cleaning a mess of fish, and to the people running the facilities where you stay. That'll give you the most "current" information.

That's my ... for what it's worth.

Scroll down to the empty message box (Quick Reply), below all of the posts ... then scroll down just a little more and you'll find a box titled "Members who have read this thread" ... any "member" that has opened this thread will have their screen/site name listed there.

We don't allow you Illini gewbers to know this kinda stuff

Seriously, though ... you "should" be able to see it, unless you have some settings turned off (or something ) What DO you see when you scroll down to the bottom of the screen, as far as your mouse scroller will take you ?? I'm a Mod, so I don't have all the "extra" advertisements showing ... but, at the very bottom of my screen is the site/forum supporter ads. Right between those ads & the bottom post on this page, is where I see the box with the names of the members that have looked at this thread.

Nope, I don't have it either CP.

My settings must different....

Maybe it shows only for Moderators and Old Geezers
