Thread: ACT Tournament Weights

There is a bunch of guys fishing that trail that call KY Lake their home lake and there were many discussions about what the potential problem(s) may be. There will probably be a few articles/interviews coming out soon that took place last weekend that can explain this better than I can

Bingo, a lot of guys that fish all three trails call KY/Barkley home and pay membership fees to the trails every year. They could very well walk away from our lakes at some point, but they would be leaving quite of bit of money on the table. The majority of the people that tournament fish here locally aren't going to follow these tours to other lakes no matter how you dress it up.

I heard some mention of the guys that fished this weekend starting to look into what is going on the lakes. I hope they come up with something and glad to see someone is doing something besides complaining.

If "these fisherman" are just now going to start looking into the why and how come, I'm sorry but they are 10 years too late. KY is leading the charge, but the letters I've gotten back from our so called legislative supporters there will be no, I mean zero support.
Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell offices did not respond what so ever. I got an 36 hour or less response from Comer, and a 48 hour generic response from the White House.
I'm sorry, but nobody is truly worried about these lakes besides us, the local fisherman, the ones that have grown up or traveled here and now moved here for what use to be a fantastic fishery.

One day we will wake up and it's all gone, destroyed for some stupid catfish ponds that people were too lazy to clean. And then our government turned their backs on us, hoping we would not notice.
