KY Lake 8/24/17

I got a call from one of Wisker's clients who needed a trip on a date Terry was on the boat. He had been referred to me. The guy who booked is from Henderson but his son lives in Oakland, CA and his grandson is from Los Angeles.

We left Sportsman's Marina and headed to a spot I had found fish Sunday. They had told me they needed enough fish for a big family fish fry that night. Thanks for putting a big monkey on my back was my thought.

We found the fish where I left them and they were hungry for cranks. The new PICOs were by far the best baits.

Twice I had up to 4 crappie flopping in the floor because I didn't have time to get them in the livewell.

We ended up with 25 keepers out of 26 crappie caught. The clients were stoked! They had plenty of fish for the fish fry.

Thanks again, Terry!

BTW, the original post was deleted by G at my request. Too much info!

Thanks again Terry. Attachment 273078Attachment 273079Attachment 273080

What are the yellow things on the rods and what is the purpose?

They are floaters so your rod will float if it goes in the lake

Good idea!

If you troll much you may want to test to see if your rods float. While trolling a flat this year I saw a brush-pile on my helix. One of my weighted down rods hung into it and wound up in the lake before I could get to it. I turned around and stayed just to the downwind side of my tracking line in hopes of snagging it on my way back thru. What a SHOCK, I found it floating. Wound up loosing my weight and crank bait but saved my B & M and spinning reel. It was my best catch of the day.

I hate the way those floats look and they do get in the way sometimes but they have saved me two Okuma/rod combos this year.

Doug you remember showing me the reels you'd bought from Wlure? I've got them on all my rods, lite as a feather and have awesome drags. They're my two pole, spider rig, trolling reels. Best money I've ever spent that my wife doesn't know about. [emoji16]

Yep. crp4570 and I bought over 20 of them between us for $12 a piece. I use mine strictly for longlining but for that price, we couldn't pass them up. Haven't seen them that low since.
