    Default Help w/ KY Lake Yellow Bass Limit???


    I'm pretty sure the fisheries biologist said they raised the limit on yellow bass on Kentucky Lake this year, but I can't find anything in writing to confirm this. Any help on the limit on these would be appreciated as I like to eat them and they seem to be running pretty large this year for some reason.

    You were closer to Paul than I was, but I'm sure he said that the limit on Yellow Bellies had been removed on Ky. & Barkley. If it hasn't it needs to be! Those little suckers are take'n over! Open some of'um up during the crappie spawn & see what ya find. Eggs! They love yellow jigs this time of year. I'll tell ya something. If you are catch'n Yellows the Black Crappie are close! And they are great on the table.

    I asked this question last week and the thread disappeared into cyber. My CO says the limit is still 15. Since he's the one that would likely be checking creel, I'll stick with his numbers till I hear differently. We caught a ton of them Monday and like wiskers said, they are mixed in with the blacks.

    Yeah, I caught a bunch Monday as well. I kept 10 but probably caught 30 or more. I only managed to keep 4 crappie. I started keeping the yellows just to have something to take home. The yellow bass were full of eggs. The danged wind was blowing and kept me working hard to stay on the usual crappie spots. I tried spider rigging, but i still don't know what I'm doing. I caught all the crappie while casting the banks.

    Until I see something in black and white that I could take to court with me, I think I will stick with 15.

    Exclamation Here's what I posted, previously ...

    Fishing - December 2008 Board Actions
    Monday, 02 March 2009 21:07 administrator Recommended standardizing the minimum size limit on muskellunge at 36 inches at Cave Run Lake, Green River Lake and Buckhorn Lake. Previously, Cave Run Lake and Green River Lake had a 30-inch minimum size limit and Buckhorn Lake had a 40-inch minimum size limit.
    Recommended implementing a 9-inch minimum size limit on crappie at Fishtrap Lake and removing yellow bass from the statewide aggregate daily limit of 15 fish for white, hybrid striped and yellow bass.
    Creating a 30 fish daily creel limit on yellow bass.
    Lick Creek in Simpson County and East Fork Clarks River in Calloway County will be removed as seasonal catch and release trout streams. Lick Creek will still be stocked with trout in the summer months.
    Recommended discontinuing the practice of using a tooth patch as the regulatory method for identifying spotted bass. Anglers use a tooth patch as a means of differentiating spotted bass from largemouth bass. However, many largemouth bass also possess this tooth patch, which leads to confusion.
    Fisheries regulations voted on by the Commission would take effect in March 2010.

    This was taken off the League of KY Sportsmen website : http://www.kentuckysportsmen.com/ind...d=46&Itemid=64 and is the latest dated info I could find.

    Do they really taste good? Are there any special tricks when cleaning or cooking them?
