Thread: Ky lake,go or no go?

If you have the ability to go, then by all means go. We never know what tomorrow brings. It's not always about catching fish; sometimes it's about making lifetime memories. My dad and brothers and I are headed down on April 12 for a week of fishing and while catching fish will be great; the memories will be better. I will be honest, I am going with the intention of catching crappie; but if I don't, then so be it. I find fishing a great way to relax and not worry about the stresses of life. I will get back to the real world after our fishing trip. Take your kid fishing and make some memories. Life is precious and should be enjoyed.

Slabdaddy, GO! Take ur son fishing.... Just like Michael D and Ky Teacher say make memories with ur son! I remember the time with my father going fishing. They stay with you forever... Now I get to repay the favor and take my son's as well as my father as he doesn't get around as good now! We just got back from there and we did better then some, and not as bad as others. We caught fish in 18' to 23' using 1/4 bigjig heads and umbrella southern pro glow orange/ chartreuse tipped with a minnow on ledges... And also we are heading back the 9th to the 12th for more fun and memories....

Going to get my boat in the morning load up the truck and head out tomorrow.Taking rainsuits,rocky boots and plenty changes of clothes for all the rain they're expecting.Have taken him for the last 2 yrs on spring break to KY lake and I think I will continue the tradition for many more.He's pretty tough to be only 9 and even though I try to tell him its going to rain and the fishing is tough he's still ready to go!If he's ready then I'm ready and will post results and hopefully pictures when we return.

thanks!

Hey, I'm open for lessons. I'm sure not finding any fish with this water falling. After all this rain we're gonna get the lake will start back up & they'll make a dash to the bank just in time for me to go back on the boat on the 8th! Just my luck.

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure they will be hitting the banks hard about the 9th... they are getting you back for the cold front you were praying for last year. I'm still blaming you for that one!!! :D

There are still some fish out there to be caught, but it's pretty tough and I haven't been able to catch them casting the way I like thus far. Last weekend my 13 year-old daughter and I fished the Crappie USA tourny and managed to qualify for the regionals and caught several fish in Blood River, but we had to work for them alot harder than I like. Best fish came from 18' holding a chartruse jig tipped w/ a minnow as still as possible about 2' off the bottom in the dead middle of some large treetops. Lost as many trying to get them through the brush as we got in the boat.
