Sheesh hard to believe the mods post this crap.
I was just joking with ya'll ... no disrespect intended & nothing personal. (hence the LOL Smiley) My apologies if anyone took it that way.

I actually fish the smaller lakes in KY more often than I do the 50,000 acre plus size lakes. And yes, we do have a lot of COE lakes, but also a lot of state owned lakes. And you are correct that tourist monies help the local economies ... I donate almost as much to the local economy of an East Tenn community, as I do to all of the Ky communities where I fish (combined).
