Pitchinkid Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 is it April yet. Hell, ill settle for March. Quote
steezy Posted January 4, 2011 Posted January 4, 2011 Looks like I can get bi-focals in limited availability as far as material and tints. Good, I am blind. Can't see far away or close up and bi-focals are a must. Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 is it April yet. Hell, ill settle for March. I hear ya. I'm ready to go. Get me outta here. I'm tired of the frigid cold and snow. > Quote
tjmaniac Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 will i be able to go along with someone on a boat? i don't have one and although i don't mind fishing from the shore, driving from maine to kentucky just to watch a bunch of guys taking off in boats would be a major drag. Quote
MNGeorge Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Looking at a map, it appears part of KY Lake lies in or at least along side of Tennessee. Is a fishing license from either state valid for the entire lake? Is there any advantage to buying one state's license vs. the other for non-residents? Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted January 16, 2011 Super User Posted January 16, 2011 tjmaniac, everything possible will be done to ensure that no one is left to fish from the shore. That's one of the reasons why we ask everyone to submit a Sign-Up Form. It provides me with information on who's bringing a boat and whether there is room in the boat for any non-boaters. At this point it looks as if there is adequate seating for everyone. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted January 17, 2011 Super User Posted January 17, 2011 MNgeorge, a Kentucky license allows you to fish from the dam on the north, south into Tennessee to the HWY 79 bridge. That's about 45 miles as the crow flies. The same applies for Lake Barkley to the east. I have no idea how many hundreds of miles of coastline are included, but let's just say you will never see it all. ;D Quote
tjmaniac Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 thanks Mike, I'll be looking at signing up, need to check my budget first, wish i had enough money to do it all! : Quote

Super User Lund Explorer Posted January 17, 2011 Super User Posted January 17, 2011 Thanks Simp! People are driving their trucks across the frozen surface of our lakes right now. Getting to see a picture of somebody holding up a couple of bass in front of open water is sure to make the winter crawl along even slower! JK. My calendar says that in just three short months, I should be preparing to back my boat into KY Lake for the first morning. It can't come soon enough! Quote

I wasn't looking to see the whole lake, I was just asking which state's license would be valid for a non-resident and if there was any money to be saved by buying one or the other. Retirees like myself on a fixed income have to watch our pennies whenever we can. : Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted January 18, 2011 Super User Posted January 18, 2011 MNgeorge, I was responding to your specific question. Your best bet is to buy a KY license because you will be fishing KY water exclusively, unless you get a wild hair up your butt and want to fish fifty miles further south. As for which out of state license is cheaper, I have no idea. You can do the internet search as easily as I can. Quote

You can fish TN waters all the way down to Paris Landing (Hwy 79 bridge). Quote
lynyrdsky1 Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 I am going to be tremendously busy threw April now, and I'm trying to save up money so I doubt I will be able to go now. Sorry for botherin anyone. Quote

For those of you who have never met Bud, he is another wealth of Kentucky Lake knowledge. Like Roadwarrior, you should be prepared to hear all about Shimano and Loomis. ;D Quote
