We are headed down to see ya'll on the Big Lake the week before Easter. Hope to finally get to meet up with some of you for some fishin and a couple coldies! Just made our reservations at the Moors (got one of their new cabins that are being built). Hopefully we can take a few bags of crappie steaks home with us!!! Can't wait - Snow snow go away, way up north you should stay!
I will be at Big Bear all year. I get off the boat on Mar. 17 & go back to work on Apr. 14. Probably gonna miss ya. I'll try to leave a few for ya.Quote:

That place is a hoot.
You'll be right across the lake from me. I have a seasonal spot at Big Bear.Quote:

We usually stay at Shawnee Bay. Been readin your posts forever on here. Would love to share some stories if you are availalbe.
I know we fish some of the same water from some of your past posts. I'd like to at least say "hi" while I'm there. As we get closer to the date, I'll send you a PM. I run across the lake for fuel and minnies @ Moors.Quote:

Thinking about Ky Lake is what helps get me through these miserable winters in Ohio. I'm not even in the snow belt and I can't keep from whining.
Man, you guys are talking about spring too early! Going to have me going stir crazy thinking about crappie season. I'll be at Hillman around the 21st of March for several days. Wiskers, that picture in my avatar was probably taken within sight of your camper!
Hey Whiskers,
Maybe you can get some fish from your brother-in-law and borrow a good cooker somewhere and feed us some crappie. Just Sayin!!
That's cold ifish (but funny)!!!!! Maybe cajun fryer can come in and bring his.
I don't know if Whiskers will want any part of that this year. I get the feeling that he doesn't like his Medina River 5Gal. Fish Fryer. LOL
I'm all for a fish fry. 2 months & 6 days later the guy finnally sent me the new regulator. I had already bought me a good American Made 1 though. She is up & running. She'll heat 5 gal of oil up to 370 in about 20 minutes. I'm still PO'd cause the guy took so long.Quote:

That is a nice place you will be staying at. Kentucky lake is big, it's 160,000 acres of water, and it's connected to Barkley lake which is around 58,000 acres of water. So the two lakes combine for a total of nearly 220,000 acres of water. Check out LBL if you have the time. Lots of deer, and wild turkey in certain places. http://www.lbl.org/

I usually fish around the Blood River area, and from highway 68 south, there is good fishing all over the lake, but I like to fish from Highway 68 south to Interstate 40 in Tennessee. But you can catch good fish any place on the lake.
crappiemax & catfan, I plan on being at Hillman ferry campground from March thru April. Iusually spend the spring and fall at the lake, I drive a white sea ark bay boat and drive a red ford trk, havent made reservations yet. Have been staying at the camp for the last 8 yrs and love it there.Last year got there after the crappie.com get togeather,had family emergency and missed, hope to see everyone.

It has been really mild down here along the Kentucky/ Tennessee border this year. I seen some Bass Boats out on KY Lake today. It's been in the 40's lately, awhile back it was in the 50's.Quote:

Maybe I can get Cajun fryers to send Mickey one since he is the new spokesman.
Whiskers,I bet if you call cajun fryers and tell them you are a personal friend of Mickey you might get a deal.
