Thread: Kentucky/Barkly Lake Post

Last time I was out was a week ago Friday. Fished in Leatherwood and Cypress. One crappie, and one huge bull bluegill. That's right……..two fish…..all day….. Oh well, at least it beat being at work, and it was a great day to be on the water! Also got to meet a great older gent at the ramp when I was leaving….Said he hadn't had much luck either! All in all, still a great day!

I will come to your lake once a year (every April) and fish as much as I can for 3 days. I have been a lurker since around December 2013 but didn't join until a few weeks ago. I fish a minnow under a bobber 90% of the time because usually it gives time to relax, eat sandwiches, and generally bullcrap with who ever else is in the boat.

With that being said I am also that guy that if I want to fish a spot and someone is there I stay at least 100 to 200' away. If someone is trolling down a bank and I want to fish a spot on it I make sure they are not going to spin back around and refish it and I only approach it from behind their boat so they don't have to go around me.

If you think the Kentucky forum is dead try the Indiana one. I posted last week asking if anyone fished a lake and it was like the night before Christmas (not even a mouse)

So if you see a 21' pontoon running at the breakneck speed of 10mph with the occupants eating sandwiches and making fun of each other come and say hi cause I may only hit Kentucky Lake once this year by God I am going to use my property at Nolin and fish Taylorsville because it's as close as Hardy lake is (I live 5 minutes Louisville in Indiana)

I guess it's kinda that Golden Rule thing. I wouldn't want someone to fish on top of me or block my path I'm fishing.

BTW what's the fishing usually like around mid april in those coves on the LBL side up by Moor's. Is it worth venturing over there?

I think a lot of people stay away from Hardy. I know I do. That may be why you didn't get any responses. That lake sucks
