Just a reminder to check your trailer bearings and tire pressure. Re-packed bearings today and had water in one hub. Heading to KY Lake (3 hour drive) late this month and hoping to avoid a...

Got these last Saturday in the cold wind at Rough. Biggest was 14". Tube jig 3 feet under a cork near cover.

Oh and found out this week my son's job may be moving him near Arkabutla/Sardis in...

Thanks to Bobby Garland Crappie Baits and Crappie.com! Was very surprised to learn I had won the Bobby Garland contest. (I never win anything)


Now here's the question... ...my two boys...

Check private messages.

Yes, indeed. They are my favorite fishing partners.

Had a good day with my boys at Rough. Fish were holding 3 feet down, near cover in murky/muddy water. Most on Southern Pro curly tails in black/chartreuse.

Yes, quite a few of the blacks had eggs. The eggs were pretty firm.

30 keepers on Barren Monday. Most fish were caught 3-6 feet deep over a laydown tightlining Southern Pro curly tails.

Jonathan Creek on KY Lake. Eddy Creek on Barkley.

Hey EC... ...we were on J-creek Thursday and had the same luck. Ended up with 16, all of them came on jigs 2-4 feet deep over cover. With the wind coming in we went to Eddy Creek on Friday and...

Thanks. Looking forward to trying it.

Thinking about trying KY River for the first time (ever). Closest ramp is Oregon Rd. Any suggestions???

We fish Rough, Nolin, Barren mostly and see it ALL the time. And those lakes do not see anywhere near the out of state traffic. Many of the ramps are wide enough for two to launch together but a...

White/chartreuse, red/chartreuse, black/chartreuse... ...are you sensing a pattern here??? :) We use a lot of Southern Pro curly tails in red/chartreuse, electric chicken, etc. but they...

Most of them were blacks. This female was the largest...

Hey Wiskers. Yes, several females with eggs. Sorry, we are not sophisticated nor disciplined enough to release the females. As I said, my son is at Murray State and had been fishing all last week...

Good day with my sons on Jonathan Creek 3/22. Fish were on brush or docks 3-6 feet deep. Casting tube jigs.

My youngest son is a student at Murray State and put it on ole' Dad... ...

We were there two weeks ago on a Saturday and caught a few small one's over trees and stickups. 6-10 feet deep on
curly tail grubs. No keepers though.

Fished Rough this weekend. Water was murky-muddy in most places. Had to fish hard for 6 keepers. Fish were tight on cover in shallow water. Temp was 56 degrees.

hey colayn, sorry for the late response. Fished Rough on Friday the 19th. Must have caught a hundred dinks. Did manage to get my limit by the end of the day.

Thanks for the info. We normally fish Jonathan, Blood River or Ledbetter, thought we might try something different.

Any of you KY Lake guys know if there is enough water to launch at the Sugar Bay ramp at winter pool?

The bank directly across from Axtel boat ramp has produced some good gills for us. In the summer we fly fish with poppers for the bigger fish. Walter Creek is a good area as well.

Rough is about...

Fished in Walter Creek for the most part. Clear water had me stumped for a while till I tried shallow water with a light grey hair jig under a cork. The jig had a little flash in it which I believe...

Got 23 keepers at Rough on Saturday. A few of them were good 12" fish.

Don't know, but it is a mess. I got a jon boat stuck on one the first time I fished there. Didn't think I was gonna' get free. I have a friend who is retired, he fishes it often. He likes Tar...

We fish it occasionally. The timber was cut out of the creek at a level that puts the stumps just under the water level so it is pretty difficult to navigate, especially in a jon boat, but there are...

I hear ya. Just got my old boat fixed so I may head down as well. Thanks for the info.

Not bad for this time of year. How were you catching them?

Great info, thanks all. We may try it this year.

Fished Rough River Thursday. Fishing was about as slow (4 keepers) as my trolling motor battery. Had to stop at Wally World to buy a new one on...
