Anyone fish the "other side" of the lake, Roberson Creek? We use to 20 years ago. It would be a lot closer for us and maybe not as crowded?
Thanks

Almost always less crowded in the creek and I have actually done quite well once you get past the "business" of the State Park. There is a real good flat and a couple of rock walls that are very productive. I have also ran across a lot of manmade brush piles in some of the smaller coves that have been productive. There are a good number of locals that regularly fish the area but nowhere near the likes of the great boat jam of Pikes Ridge.
Rowdy ... I used to fish the Robinson Creek area, mostly from the dam back to the incoming creek itself. Goat Island was always pretty good, for me. Used to camp at the Lone Valley Campground, and fished those areas around the last week of April. Mostly we would just cast RR's & jigs to the bank, but occasionally we'd longline troll them ... or drift with minners.
I think the Holmes Bend area starts earlier, which is why a lot of people congregate in that area. Plus the marina & all its facilities are a factor to some. Lots of brushpiles & stuff are planted in that area, too.

Rowdy,
Another option to save you some distance is to put in at Site 1. It is not far from Lone Valley.
I do 90% of my fishing from site 1 to butler creek
Mostly a matter of were you spend the most time getting to know the lake
Good luck
one other thought, ....... Nolin
Not sure were you live in Hart co, but Nolin might be closer and the quality there this past year has been very good.
Yes thats our "home lake" Its running mud now!
Thanks
Rowdy

Thanks for your info!!

I've never fished Green River Lake but am organizing a fishing trip for the men in my church for April 28. We plan to stay at Holmes Bend Marina and fish out of there. Any tips or areas we should fish for guys who are not at all familiar with the lake? I have checked for up to date fishing reports online but there aren't many--most are a year or three old. Thanks for any reply.
e-mail me, [email protected] a week or two before you head to holmes bend and i will give you a fishing report, terry
sorry, wrong e-mail= [email protected] ,terry
DL ... keep your eye on this forum. There's a "chance" that your trip may coincide with our annual Green River Lake Slabfeast. If it does, your group is cordially invited to join us. We'll be having it at Holmes Bend Marina, as usual. If it should happen to occur after our event, there will be plenty of info posted to help your group cope with not being familiar with the lake.Quote:

Every year, things are a little different than in the recent past, so predicting from this early in the year might prove futile. Best to get more recent info, especially in the Spring.
And you are right about not seeing any "up to date" fishing reports online. They wouldn't really give you any pertinent info, for the timeframe of your trip, anyway. I will PM you some links ... not fishing reports, but things that will be useful to your group.
Let me take this opportunity to thank you for bringing your group to KY, to fish. Also, let me say ... Welcome to Crappie.com !!

Thanks CP and terri for the replies. I am a Kentuckian by birth, born and raised in Maysville, and even though I live about 20 minutes north of Knoxville, TN, I still bleed blue, as in "Go Wildcats!". Makes life interesting down here.
any time i can help just let me know, ps, don't forget about those louisville cards., they are doing great in football and basketball. hahahahahah
