Nice haul CP! I thought all you ever did was paint and hang out here for a social life.

You bout got me pegged.

Caught most of these along drops out on Big Sandy Ky Lake. Fish were hanging out in 17-18 foot. Water temp 83-86 degrees. I was KY rigged with minnows. Could not buy a bite with a jig of many colors. I was out about 4 hours. Caught a lot of tater chips too. Little ones hit and peck. Bigs one just barley tugged the minnow. Tough to tell when to "hook up". I did pretty good for an old man.

Ran into a couple of elder fellows out fishing. They were from Iowa. Flood victims. They were fishing from an old jon boat with not much for electronics. I let them follow me. They followed me about 2 hours and got all they wanted. They offered to pay me. Nice fellows. I wished them luck and was glad I was there to help them.

See...not only does CP look like a nice ole man...he really is! (this comes from another nicely seasoned angler):D

Tom those fish were right at the level you posted on your thermo.

Very nice catch! I like the T-Shirt with the message "American Iron". Be proud of things made correctly here in the USA! That is a great looking body of water!

Nice bunch of fish. They are really biting here in S. MN right now. They seem to like a small yellow jig better than the minnow. Our limit is only 10 though. So it usually doesn't take long. They are still a little on the smaller size. A couple of years ago we were getting twice the size from the same lake. Once in a while we still get one like the size you caught. We have people who cheat though and catch a limit and come back for more.

anything biting around New Hope or are they up closer to the powerlines?
