I was blessed to have another awesome day on Kentucky Lake with my good friend Kris, his grandson Ryder, and a close friend Tucker. The wind forecast had me concerned, and it was choppy but we made it work. We had a late start due to not risking getting wet, but the fish did not mind. I would call this a Bluegill beat down. Not many Yellows , but what we caught were of good quality. Just another fun day of catch fish with some of my favorite people! Now they can reap the rewards of their hard work with a big fish fry! Thanks guys for the chance to take you folks ! Always a good time with you. Glad the weather let us get on the lake..

I'm out of the fishing loop for a while. Gearing up for hunting season. Not saying I won't fish anymore as I always do if hunting is poor , but I have a lot of hunting prep to do. Having said that the fishing is hot if you like catching what you see. I can hook you up with someone that will put you on them, just let me know. Come on to Kentucky Lake and experience some good fishing, and gorgeous fall scenery.

I had what I would consider another beat down morning with my friend Chris today. We got out of the gate slow as 2 of the places I have been starting on were a complete bust. Stop 3 paid off well, and from then on the game was on. Lake got a bit choppy , but fishable then changed up for us so we fished more comfortable. Heavy on the Yellows, a bit lighter on the Gills , but I will take it any day. Quality was good today on the Yellows. All the fish are healthy. Home work paid off as we were able to fish in protected areas where i had found some fish.

Just an awesome morning with a great fellow. He was wanting a fish fry. I think we filled the order for more than one!

If you think this would be fun give me a shout. I am out of the loop for a while, but I can hook you up with someone that can show you a good time! If you have a kid that you want to get hooked on fishing, now is a good time. The pictures do not lie. Come enjoy Kentucky Lake, it is peaceful, and gorgeous.

Well it's late for me, I've had a long day. But it's been a banner day! My fish catching friend Kelly came to visit. She left ole hair leg slacker Jarret at home so he could work, and she could fish.
Good decision on her part. What a wonderful morning! We had the lake to ourselves, stumbled on a few fish, saw Eagles, the leaves are changing, Mercy just a God given morning! Beat down on the fish especially the Gills. Just my opinion. Folks find someone to take you fishing for these critters! I can't take you but I can get you hooked up with someone.

Thanks for a good morning fish catching Kelly. I sure enjoyed watching you reel those fish in today!

I got out for a bit this morning with Meg to help me look for some fish out of some big winds in the forecast. I made a list of places to check, and we hit each one and had good success. We got our quota of 50 on the last place and we're back at the ramp 2 and a half hours later so I could get get going on a busy afternoon. I can't help you the next several days so if you would like to go let me know and I will try to get you with one of my friends that will do a good job for you. If you have a chance take advantage of some off the charts fishing for these guys . Now as always some days are better than others , but I like your chances. Good tugs, and good eats! Let me know if I can help you ..

With some errands to do this morning, and some work to do around the house I wasn't sure about fishing today. Got the errands done and part of my pre winter chores accomplished. I kept looking at the lake and I couldn't resist it. Meg had all her chores done I had listed for her with a 5 Star rating and I said let's go for a quickie trip🤣. Fishing of course get your minds right 🤣. I told her we will keep 50 and that's it.

Absolutely beautiful afternoon, some breeze would have been nice as it got a bit warm. Caught a bunch of fish , got our quota and packed it in. I love this time of year!!

I love to Crappie fish, and I plan to this fall at some point. I enjoyed it the spring. It's back . However from a personal standpoint I have got spoiled on faster action when it's available. It is currently available so if you want in on it let me know..I have Wed and Thursday 270 331 3519..

I had a wonderful morning on Kentucky Lake today with brothers Casey, and Chad! The fog was thick as can be so we did not get to depart till around 8:30. The fish did not mind as we sat down after a short run and immediately went to work on them. The fishing as I have been saying has been good, but today was something special. We stayed busy catching fish most of the time, and did not have many lulls in the action. We threw back several fish that on a lot of days would have qualified for the Crisco party .One of the best Bluegill beatdowns I have had in some time.
Gorgeous morning after the fog lifted, great conversation as we knew a lot of the same people, and we each shared many common interests. I could not have asked for a better morning other than the early morning fog. Thanks guys for a memorable morning!! Hope to see you all again sometime, and enjoy those fish!

Folks if you like what you see now is the time to come see me. I've got Wednesday, and Thursday this week available. No guarantees on catching in my boat but I like our chances on getting you some action on these guys that pull great, and taste better. 270 331 3519 .

With a very dense fog this morning I was not in a hurry to get the boat in. When I got back from running an errand the fog had lifted , and I got the boat in and left the dock at 10:30. I made 5 stops. 2 on places I had not fished all year, 1 I had never fished before, and 2 that are not on my list of regular spots. I found good numbers of fish at each place, and did not stay long on any of them. I had a lot of action, and threw back probably as many as I kept, and was very selective. Caught a lot of Gills that were just on the mark , but I did not need them today. What a splendid , gorgeous day. I was back at the dock at 12:30.

Folks, if you like catching fish now is the time to come see me. If you have a kid that you want to get hooked on fishing , and show a good time now is the moment. These fish pull on your string, and are great to eat. Having said that there are no guarantees on catching fish in my boat. I will say that I do feel confident on being able to catch you a nice bunch of these. I have Monday, Wednesday , and Thursday next week. You never know till you go, and the only guarantee is there is no guarantee. Give me a call at 270-331-3519.

After having been grounded by wind I was itching to get on the lake and see what the cooler temps had done to the fish. I finished up some business this morning and got the boat in around 1030. I looked at 4 places that are usually good under these conditions, and they did not disappoint. Back at the ramp at 1230. My questions were answered and I had somewhere to be. Threw a bunch back that were keepers. Light on the Yellows, but the Bluegill played the game. Man I hate that. What a terrible fish to catch, and eat. It was really encouraging to see what I did in the short time I fished. I have a hunch it might get _ _ _ _ _ _. U fill in the blanks cause I'm not good enough to say it.

If you want to try give me a call 270 331 3519. I feel confident I can catch you some fish. No promises I do not roll that way but I am open about what goes on in my boat good or bad. Weather is nice, leaves are changing. Things are setting up for some good catching?!

A couple of my good friends came to visit myself and Meg a few days ago . Jeff and his son Patrick wanted to stop by for a couple of days, and see if we could catch a few fish for them to take home. Luckily conditions were conducive to making that happen!

They got in on a White Bass smackdown. After that we went looking for whatever else we could find that would be out of a big North wind. We found willing fish to add to the cooler of death in each area we stopped at. Unfortunately the next morning it was way to much wind for us to even try. We might have been able to catch a few, but the ride would have been rough, and the catch not what I would have wanted for anyone. The one day we had made a pile, smiles, and memories for a Father and Son! Thanks fellows! A good time had by all!!

I recently was blessed to meet some wonderful people, and spend some time on Kentucky Lake with them on a gorgeous morning. Michael, and his wife Sue were visiting the area and had not had much luck on their own so they gave me a chance to take them to see if we could find a few fish for them.

We first went on a quest for White Bass. I have no idea what happened, but the wheels had come off. I spent an hour trying to figure it out to no avail, and finally said I give up. Off we went in search of some Gills and Yellows. We found them to be plentiful, and willing to bite. We stayed busy catching fish, and threw a bunch back. Lots of action. We enjoyed each others company, shared many laughs, and they took home a bunch of great eating fish!

Thanks guys for the chance to meet you , and spend time on the lake. I hope you all had a great time on your visit to the area, and will come back again!.

There is a lot of good fishing left to be had. Cooler temperatures are on the way, and so are fall colors. If you want to try to catch some fun fighting, and good eating fish give me a call at 270-331-3519.

Had a great morning with a good friend today! It was fishing, but we got our Whites and then did some searching to find something for a big west wind . Enjoyed my buddy, and looking at some different real estate!

Blessed to have another great morning on Kentucky Lake with my friend Mike . He had been wanting to see if we could catch him some fish, and things finally fell into place. We both had time, weather was gorgeous, fish cooperated, and he got his line pulled on a couple of times.

We got our White Bass , then went looking for Gills and Yellows. Caught a bunch of fish , and threw back even more. A bit light in the Gill department in comparison to some recent days , but turned up the volume on the Yellows . He went home with 2 gallon bags of fillets, and we had a marvelous time together.

I will never ever say Kentucky Lake is on fire because I know how things can change so quickly, and I do not want to have to explain to someone how I told them they were jumping in the boat , then not catch much. I'm not that good to go that far out on the limb. All I can say is fishing has been very good as of late. Conditions are getting ready to change however. If the White Bass disappear as they are known to do , I think I can still catch you some fish. You never know till you go, and the only guarantee is there is no guarantee. I can guarantee you that you are getting the truth, as I am not a fishing politician telling you what you want to here to get you in a boat, and take your time and money. Got some good fishing left in front of us. Nice weather , scenery, and NO ONE fishing. Give me a holler at 270 331 3519..

I had another great morning on Kentucky Lake with a couple of friends that wanted to cash in on what has been some great fishing. They both even called in sick to work, and did not need their picture taken for obvious reasons. They each got a lot of tugs and took home a nice mess of fish .

The fishing has been very good as of late. Of course that is always subject to change. With the snap of a finger the conditions can change and the White Bass can vanish overnight, or even sooner. I feel like I can still find something to pull on your line, and catch you some fish when it happens. You never know till you go, and the only guarantee is there is no guarantee. If you want to try give me a holler at 270 331 3519.

10/07/2024

Had a couple of buddies that I had not seen in some time that wanted to come visit . They like to golf which I do not so I steered them to go fishing. I think they had fun! A bit windy, a bit cool, but fish catching action makes one forget some of the pain.

Great time reconnecting, and they took a bunch of fish home with them. After we got our White Bass we went looking for fish. Got lucky and added several Gills, and a few Yellows. Threw bunch of ones back that were to small, and also several that would have been in trouble on most days.

Yall come see me! I think I can catch you some kind of fish. 270 331 3519. Fun fighting, great tasting fish.

I was recently able to get out on Kentucky Lake with one of my favorite young couples. Kelly , and Jarret came to visit again, and we had high hopes of making up for the last time we fished which was such a dud day. Thankfully the conditions were SO much better, and the they put a beat down on them. Made me feel so much better, as the last time we went was by far my worst performance of the year up to this point.

After we got our White Bass we went looking for more tugs, and added some Gills, Yellows, and Catfish. Kelly had quite a tussle with the big Blue that she captured on 8 lb. Viscious line, and a long shank cricket hook. Probably took 10 minutes at least for her to land it, and she masterfully played it.

Just another great morning on Kentucky Lake., with great folks! Making piles, and making smiles! It has been lights out here recently in my opinion. If what I am catching is not enough, go somewhere else. Not sure how long this will hold up, but if conditions change I think I can still put you on some fish. You never know till you go, and the only guarantee is there is no guarantee! Come see me. 270 331 3519

With a nice weather forecast and our schedules working out I WAS FINALLY able to take my wife fishing! One would think that with both of us being retired we could go do what we want every day. Seems like we are busier than ever!

Anyhow it worked out for the morning. I wanted her to get some catching but we were very slow out of the gate. Finally found some White Bass, got our fish then checked several places for Gills and Yellows. Most had fish just they were either all d***s , or good ones. Birds of a feather flock together I guess . Anyway, great time on the water with my wife on a beautiful October day,, catching fish , watching Eagles, and stocking fish in the freezer. Its good to be a trophy husband!

Anyone out there wanting to try to catch some fish give me a call at 270 331 3519. I think I can, and based on what I saw today it may be shaping up like the last few Octobers! However, You never know till you go, and the only guarantee is there is no guarantee!

I was blessed to have another banner day on the water with another wonderful group of people. David, his wife Haley, and their son Conner came aboard , and we all had high hopes of getting tugs. Tugs we had, lots of tugs. We went looking for White Bass first, set down on a school, and went to work on them. We stayed busy catching fish, and were selective about what we kept. No telling how many we released. We finally got our fish, and went in search of whatever else we could add to the cause. We added a good mix of Gills, and Yellows to the cooler, while being very selective about what we kept. Conner was a fish catching machine! Just a splendid morning making new friends, and seeing smiles on people faces. Making piles, smiles, and memories! Thanks guys for a great time! You should have a few fish to cook in days to come.

Anyone out there looking to enjoy the lake, nice weather, and trying to catch fish give me a call at 270-331-3519. Fishing has been pretty darn good as of late in my opinion. As long as the conditions hold I think I can get you on some White Bass. If they change I have confidence on putting you on some Gills, and Yellows. You never know till you go , and the only guarantee is there is no guarantee!

This morning I had another group of my old U.T. Martin baseball players get out on Kentucky Lake with me. Bruce "Hoss" Beckman from Lawrenceburg , Tennessee, Roger "Pappy" Deskins from Louisville, and once again Tim "Roscoe " Pearcy.

I had not been on the water since last Tuesday so we started from scratch. Conditions had changed once again , and with a little tip from a friend we looked in a different area. It proved to be a White Bass burial ground. After catching our White Bass we went exploring , catching a bunch of Yellow Bass, and a few Bluegill. It was heck of a morning!

What a blessing to get to hang out with guys you spent time with on the field , and in the dorm. Roger and I actually played one season together at what was Paducah Community College, and were room mates one year at Martin. I am not sure what was more rewarding, putting them on fish at 63 years old , or helping them graduate by tutoring them in my early 20's? What a calling!

Conditions have been good for catching as of late. They are constantly changing, and every day is different. If you would like to try let me know. 270-331-3519. No guarantees other than I will do my best.
