redbasser Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 hey guys i am new to this forum but post quite a bit on others. I love fishing and am a freshman at missouri s&t and am getting a club started so if anyone know any contacts etc to help me out shoot me a PM. Thanks I went down to kentucky lake this past weekend to show some guys a few spots for a tournament they have in April and man was it brutal. The lake had 4-6 foot swells both days on the maiin channel so we couldnt fish the spots i really wanted to fish. I did have some other spots that we fished and caught some fish for it being so cold and nasty out. I did end up catching this big hawg on sunday morning! Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted March 8, 2011 Super User Posted March 8, 2011 Nice fish,Congrat's! Quote
redbasser Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 Really nice fish, where did you put in at? we stayed at kenlake...but we put in at moors to hit some spots where we didnt have to run very far or long Quote
bowfish12 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I couldn't make it out of paris landing marina. If it was 80 degrees out I wouldn't have minded getting wet, but like you said it was rough out there. Those waves on the river were every bit of 4 ft. Quote
redbasser Posted March 8, 2011 Author Posted March 8, 2011 We turned out of kenlake on saturday and we were immediately getting pounded by them. The bfl guys were actually weighing in early because they were getting beaten up so bad. Quote
bowfish12 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I watched an aluminum flat bottom head out, and as soon as he took off his wife or gf start screaming. He came back 5 minutes later and put the boat on the trailer. He must have ticked her off. Quote

PM me if you want but i need to get to 10 posts before I can reply to messages or send messages Quote
bowfish12 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I tend to try and not fish that cold muddy water. If I have to though I usually go shallow. I could tell the river was pretty muddy, but the marina wasn't too bad. The two fish I caught were in less than 5 ft of water and I had three more bites in less than 6. I haven't even considered Barkley after that rain we had. If I had to fish really muddy water I would go shallow, preferably in a creek. Quote

Super User Dwight Hottle Posted March 8, 2011 Super User Posted March 8, 2011 Nice fish. Looks like that fish has been eating the shad kill at will. Quote
