Harrison and I had the opportunity to fish with Sixfin and his son Joel for Red Ears today on Kentucky Lake. Should have figured the weather would be less than perfect, seems like thats been the norm all spring. Despite the wind, rain and cold we managed to catch em, thanks to Sixfin! Here's a pic of the boys with today's catch. Attachment 62074 Attachment 62073
Great day fishing with good friends!
Looks like you had a good time....we might make it next weekend....I'll have to get some pointers from you!
Where did you catch them exactly ???
I asked the same question... The reply was "in the mouth!" :eek:Quote:

Unfortunantly yesterday's cloud cover and a series of Solar Flares, kept me from finding out the exact location.Doh
Good looking mess, I'm very jealous! I've been trying to get down there now for two years, living up here in the Louisville area it's a long drive. Those would make the drive home seem like a piece of cake. Looks like you've got some monsters.
In a word, "jealous". I too live in louisville and would love for the lake to be a little closer to home for some of that red ear action. Congrats.
did you guys catch many gills are they running good size this year
That's some great looking fish, sometimes the sarcasm is worth it isn't it Brad! Sixfin must have paid his divers good this time.
Awesome catch guys!!
Big Willie, we did catch quite a few gills.....some pretty good sized, but really were targeting the red ears in deeper water. Those fishing shallow for Gills were catching a lot of numbers.
How deep of water were these fish caught in? I went gill/ear fishing up here in Southern Ind. over the weekend and just caught some gills on beds...didn't see any redear nesting yet though. I guess the redear are in deeper water right now. What will this cold front do to them?
Heading down in the morning for a week. Hope I have as good of luck.
We caught most of these in 4 feet of water in a guys yard behind his shrubs but there won't be any water there in a few days. Some come out of 8 feet.
A note to add here, when fishin in someones yard, be considerate. Don't tie to his dock or bird house and be careful with an anchor so you dont drag up his shrubs. Saw a lot of that going on this year. Treat their place as you would want yours to be treated.
Harleyman, you had every chance to come and get you some of this but you where to busy making money. You need to get your priorities right! Greed is gonna get the best of you!! Besides, you sing like a hog getting his nose ringed! :D
Hey Chris and Brad,
Everyone is congratulating you guys on the fish you caught but I think the biggest catch you all got was the smiles on those 2 kids face. They will be friends for life because their Dads spent some time with them and shared a great resource of information. I have to say great job on raising those boys. All the post I see from you guys with fish also has a picture of some kids in them and that just shows your true colors. That is what fishing is all about. Good times with family and friends!
The boys had a good time but Brad had a bigger smile than any of us. He sounded like a little girl at a slumber party everytime he caught one! :D
Ah sweetheart, I'll remember that next time, you're just jealous because I know the words to more songs than you. I have to make $$, or I won't be back to KY Lake ham jacker, u & buffalo gonna spot me the skids? :D P.S. I love you! hahaQuote:

I was catching a good number of Bass, Redear and Bluegill, until the flood hit, but I think the weather is going to get much better later this week, and the water is still dropping, so the fishing will get better I hope.
