Lost my fishing hole

[Clint]

Last Monday I fished a private lake for the last time. The owner has sold the property.
We always did real well there and I am going to miss it. Below is the four crappie that we took Monday.
The orange stick in the top of the photo is a 12" ruler.



They came on crank and spinner baits while fishing for bass.

If you need/want a partner to fish during the week let me know. I have never done any crappie fishing in the "big" lakes other than Buckhorn bay but would love to learn. I have a 1648 Jon set up for ponds.

Nice catch. You have the beginning of a decent Ky or Barkley lakes boat with a 1648. If you fish Buckhorn, you have the start to get into some good fish at times. Buy a good bow mount trolling motor, a GPS/Locator ( I have a good one for sale) and some rod holders and read up on longlining and spider rigging here on the forums. A search of the forums will get you more than you will want to read in a weekend. The secret to fishing KY Lake with a smaller boat is to trailer it to one of the many ramps close to where you want to fish. I know the ramp at Buckhorn park can get hairy in low water.

Sorry for your loss. Maybe you can get in good with the new owner.

Tell him that a well fished lake is a heathy lake, and you are glad to help in anyway you can.

My son and I help a few local farmers manage thier ponds. We always offer to help out around the farm.

Most of the time we end up with fresh produce to take home.
