Plus one on the guide. Those guys fish almost every day and know what is going on with the lake at the moment. It just takes too long to figure it out on your own starting from square one. I have...

Don't mean to offend anyone but me and my fishing buddies refer to bass as green carp. For us it is walleye and salmon up north and crappie, redfish, and speckled trout down south

Many thanks to all that responded. I think I have been concentrating too much on structure and points and need to explore more what I used to call open water. I have better electronics than I used to...

Yup, that's what I remember.
I tried to upload my pics. It was actually April 1978

Back in the good old days (circa 1979) I took a trip to Toledo Bend and fished out of White's fishing resort in Hemphill TX. We were there in late February and caught a bunch of crappie out of...

I have fished KY lake several times in the past. Had some good results but more often than not, it was tough for me, so I am asking for a little advice. We always seem to schedule our trips just...

plus 1 on getting a guide. Rent a boat. There are very mean stumps and lots of rebar lurking just below the surface. The locals used rebar to anchor their nets when commercial fishing was permitted...

I would agree on the guide. I have fished that lake many times. There is a lot of water, most of it does not hold crappie. Depending on whether the lake is rising or falling and the current flow,...

I find they stay on the hook better if I take a few out at a time and let them air dry a little. I use them all the time. I also like the ones with shiny flakes. I think they mimic tiny fish scales...

We were fishing walleye on Lake Erie during the spring jig bite. I caught a nice one and my brother in law netted the fish. After I put it in the live well, we noticed water on the deck. Bail! I...

You could try Charlie Brewer Crappie sliders. They are pretty weedless and brushless. I would think trolling anything with an open hook would be too much trouble with snags.

I found the SI to be a waste of money on my 798. The black and white display and size make it near impossible to see much. I end up putting on reading glasses, shading the screen, then run into...

Looking for a little advice from this group, bringing a couple grandchildren down to Reelfoot over their spring break. Last week in March.
Which lodge would you recommend?
Blue Bank, Cypress Point,...

Any info on panfishing the Mighty Miss in pools 16, 15, 14 would be GREATLY appreciated. My son goes to school in Iowa City and I live near Rockford IL. We like to meet at Clinton to fish for a day....

Here ia a nice saugeye from Pecatonica River last fall. She is still swimming.

I Didn't mean to sound like I was disgusted, I just wondered if anyone else had trouble catching fish after Sunday. I have fished the lake several times (twice with a guide) so I had a good list of...

We just got home from 4 tough days in Bear Creek area of Ky lake. The water level is lower than I had ever fished there. We tried working from 4 feet deep in the bays to 14 feet deep brush piles in...

I have used the 3 and 4 inch Gulp twisters for walleyes and they work great. I tried the 2 inch twisters and the tails are too stiff to swim properly so the action was bad. They also seem to take a...

Since I started using Gulp plastic, I almost never use anything else for walleyes. They are a little big for crappie (at least the crappie I can get to)

I fish gulp over a live minnow.

I need a couple suggestions for fishing for our favorite fish in muddy water. I am going to be in pools 12 and 13 of the Mississippi. I have never fished for crappie in that muddy of water before. I...

Finally had a chance to fish Ky Lake for the first time in many years. Started out at Jonathan Creek on Sunday the 17th and fished there all day. Ended up with 3 fish, one 14" and two 10". Weather...

Thanks CrappiePappie! Always good to know the rules.

I will be on Kentucky Lake. My buddy and I don't drink to get drunk, but we do enjoy a beer or two while fishing. Don't care to lose a day's fishing or get fined if it against the law. I am sure...

What is the law on beer in the boat in Kentucky? Is it allowed at all?

Thanks!

Do you mean the area around the steel bridge upstream from the railroad bridge on the west channel? It seemed pretty shallow on the upstream side of the bridge. Is there a channel or are there some...

Has anyone done any crappie fishing in pool 13 of the Mississippi? Can you share any experiences?

Thank You.

Are there any public boat ramps near Jonathan Creek in Ky Lake?

If not, where is a pay ramp with good parking?

Thanks in Advance. This is a great forum.

I am planning a trip starting April 23 to Ky Lake. I can't decide whether to make reservations near Jonathan Creek or move on down south to Big Sandy.

I know this is the Kentucky forum, but I know...

Thanks to all that responded. I am curious about the Stealth system. Has anyone used it first hand?

I often fish where overnight access to 110 volts is not practical.

Thanks again!
