Super User roadwarrior Posted November 14, 2006 Super User Posted November 14, 2006 I had the opportunity to fish with "Bud" Jenkins on Kentucky Lake and Barkley Lake last weekend. We met Friday evening and fished both Saturday and Sunday. Bud is an experienced fisherman, a tournament director and a man of many talents. We were faced with some very difficult weather conditions on Saturday and Bud knew exactly what adjustments we needed to make to fish several prime spots where we could get out of the wind and still fish areas that are generally productive. Sunday the weather broke which allowed us to fish places that were inexcessable the previous day. We fished Barkley in the morning and Kentucky Lake in the afternoon. Bud knows these waters and did not hesitate to take me to his honey holes. Although we sometimes fished different lures, for the most part we fished similar techniques. I can tell you this, Bud's presentation worked a lot better than mine! Bud started out early with a couple of strikes and boated a 4.75 lb largemouth early Saturday. Sunday started out a little slower for him, but he managed to catch three bass. I, on the otherhand, pitched a perfect game. On one of Bud's prime spots I was able to hook up with what felt like a heavy fish, but unfortunately it came unbuttoned before we got to see her. All in all, we had a very enjoyable weekend. Thank you Bud! p.s. I have a couple of pictures I will try to add to this post later this week. Quote

Aaron Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 I have also had the pleasure of fishing with Bud. He put me in some places I had never got to fish before and I learned a lot from him. I caught probably my biggest bass of the year with Bud. Quote

Bud Bud, One of my best friends has family in Paducah, he's there now for Thanksgiving. I'll talk him into visiting his grandma and take you up on the fishing one day soon. Thanks! Ronnie Quote
Bud Posted November 22, 2006 Posted November 22, 2006 Just give a few day notice I am in the process of swapping boats. I always enjoy fishing with forum member and showing then Ky & Barkley lake. We need to plan a get together for the spring for a great top water bite. Bud Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted November 28, 2006 Author Super User Posted November 28, 2006 You can bet I'll give it a go. I'm looking forward to fishing with you again. Thank you! Quote

You won't be the first convert, I have a couple nothces on my skillet. Well, I reckon if your a cookin' I'm a eatin' Thank you kindly Mr. Alpster. I'm much obliged. Are you kidding? The only thing I like better than cooking, is eating. My moto is, always look for a fat cook. . And hey, muddy_man is talking some trash about making some sort of Italian delicacy, we will see what he's got going on. I am also thinking if we accidently snag a couple of crappie, catfish, or whatever, a light fish fry just might be in order. Like the boy scouts say "be prepared". Are we there yet? It's gonna be a long winter waiting for the trip in the spring. Ronnie Quote
Bud Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 Ronnie cook then up with a big mess of biscuits & gravy. They will follow you around like little puppy dogs wanted more. If you catch a couple crappie or catfish cook those using J.R. Madd coating (sponsors) and the few that says they don't like them will change their mind. This spring if I am not tied up with tounament work for American Crappie Association we will have a little tounament here. Bud Quote
jomatty Posted December 3, 2006 Posted December 3, 2006 every day i wish i was going to fork a little more now all this talk of good food...oh man. matt Quote
Super User Alpster Posted December 4, 2006 Super User Posted December 4, 2006 This spring if I am not tied up with tounament work for American Crappie Association we will have a little tounament here. Bud Bud, That is starting to sound like a plan. Count me in. Ronnie Quote
