You would think the lakes with the most votes would have the highest turnout. Or start with the highest voted lake in the east then fish the highest voted lake in the west. Just my opnion.

How they placed in the votes.
1. Green
2. Ky/Cumberland (Tie)
3. Barren
4. Taylorsville

I had suggested this myself. But some would like to have Ky and Cumberland earlier for better fish/safety, which is fine with me. I'll catch fish either way .

Pappy suggested:

Ky lake - March 8
Cumberland - March 22
Taylorsville - May ?
Green - June ?
Barren - Sept ?

Or, what about:

Cumberland - Feb 22
Ky lake - March 15
Taylorsville - May ?
Green - June ?
Barren - Sept ?

This is just my suggestion. This way we are not trying to cram two tourneys into one month. The one That Pappy suggested works for me as well. Just trying to give different options. I will say that i have heard that Barren can be tough in Sept. I don't know, only have fished Barren a few times and it was in the spring.

This would work for me.

I assume that since this post was posted right after my comment about Deer Season and you used the word "you," that this post was directed at me so I'll respond as politely as I can.

1. I'm pretty sure there are others on here that hunt, so I wasn't just being selfish and speak'n for myself.

2. I have 3 Grand Kids that I take deer hunting (13 total) and I enjoy every minute I get to spend with them in the woods AND in the boat. They all attend school and weekends is the only time they get to hunt with their Papa.

3. I spend over half my life on a towboat, away from my family and friends, and I have to maximize every minute of time that I do have at home. What you do in 12 months I have to work into less than 6.

I don't expect ANY of tourneys to be worked around my schedule, work or otherwise. If I'm home when y'all have'um, and time allows, I may try to fish'um. Frankly... Right now I'm lean'n toward just being a supporter and a spectator.

Every pi$$'n match I ever saw resulted in somebody get'n wet. Sure ain't interested in get'n wet.

Just the way I see it.

no it wasnt directed to anyone................ just saying

cumberland.....march 1st or 8th

ky lake .....march 29 or may 3rd

green .....june 7th or 14th

barren...sept 20th or 27th

taylorsville....nov. 8th or 15th


what about these dates???????????????????????

all was good to me

OK, boys & girls ....While there's no way to please everyone, and choices will have to be made as to which tourneys you can attend, how about one of these scenario's :

A. We schedule this way :

C.C March 8 Ky Lake
C.C March 22 Cumberland

CKCA April 5 Barren
C.C April 12, Spring Fling
CKCA April 19 Taylorsville
CUSA April 18/19 Ky Lake
CUSA April 26 Green River Lake

CKCA May 3 Herrington Lake
CUSA May 17 Cave Run Lake
CKCA May 17 Classic
C.C May 31 Barren

C.C June 21 Green

C.C Sept 13 Taylorsville


B. We schedule this way :

C.C March 8 Ky Lake
C.C March 22 Cumberland

CKCA April 5 Barren
C.C April 12, Spring Fling
CKCA April 19 Taylorsville
CUSA April 18/19 Ky Lake
CUSA April 26 Green River Lake

C.C May 3 Taylorsville
CKCA May 3 Herrington Lake
CUSA May 17 Cave Run Lake
CKCA May 17 Classic
C.C May 31 Barren

C.C June 14 Green


NOW .... while I know that the KY Lake Spring Shindig is not represented in either of these scenarios, I'm not discounting it. I just don't know when it would be held, so I couldn't add it to the mix. But, whatever date it is, it will not be in competition with any of the CC Fruit Jar tourneys ... as we do not have any scheduled in April.

... cp :​kewl

Try Tville another month other than May. Closest lake to me and I'll be working weekends all month.
