Ky Lake Crappie Fishing Trip

I just wanted to drop a quick note and see if anybody else on board is going to be in the Johthan Creek area on Ky lake Crappie fishing the Week of March 15 thru March 23. Me and my wife will be there for that week trying our luck at crappie fishing, not to experience at it yet still learning. :confused: We will be staying at Sportsmans so if anyone's going to be in the area stop in and say hello. I have a white skeeter boat w/200 yamaha motor so if you see us out stop and introduce your selfs. I hope the weather will cooperate with us sometime during the week.

Good luck to all on the there next trip and tight lines. :)

If things work out, I'll be coming down around the 21st for a few days. I'll be staying on the LBL side, but unless the wind is heck I'll probably spend some time in Jonathan. Dark green and gold Astro F/S with a Merc.

Lamplight: I will be looking forward to seeing on the water, hope we both have some success it will be a nice trip for your father if the weather cooperates.

Catfan: Hope to run up on you also, it would be nice to see some other crappie.com members to trade some stories with.

thehines: I do not know the mile marker # but the town there is Aurora KY, Jonathon Creek is a creek of the main Ky lake part.

We will proable run over to blood river area to fish a couple days also, if no luck in Jonathon.

do know the lake mile marker. when you cross the bridge on hwy68 they have a public boat ramp on the left side of the road. the sportsmas will charge you a small fee to use their ramp. ( unless you are staying there )

I hate those Hwy.68 bridges too. The tractor trailers run 60 mph across there and all I can do is slow down and pull over.

Best part time job in the world! I work 6 months & get paid every 2 weeks whether I'm on or off. I can fish, plan trips with the wife, work extra if I need extra money, great benifits. Only down side is being away from home and those darn bridges! :D

I don't think the temps are gonna be a much of a factor as the falling water. She's forecast to go over summer pool (360+).

Really the falling temps may be a positve for the Blacks. If the weather get too warm & the Black crappie start spawning TVA is just gonna drop the water off their eggs and kill the hatch. Yep, TVA won't start bringing Ky Lake up until April 1. So they are really gonna pull her down so they can start it back up in the next 2 weeks. :mad: Now how much since does that make? They should pull a couple of feet out of the lake and try to hold it there but they won't. You watch they'll pull her all the way back down to 354 and then start her back up! Pi$$e$ me off! :mad:
