A great time fishing....

everettvet · 03-02-06, 02:59 PM

Went fishing yesterday for the first time this year. Little farm pond in Kentucky with wind 15-20mph. I caught 3 bass (2 of them in the 2 pound range and the other was 1.25 pounds). They were caught on a 3" black/blue metal flake tube with 1/4 oz weight. Oh by the way they were caught within 10 casts of each other. For a few minutes the action was fast. I realize there were no real big fish, but for the first day of March I was happy.

How's the fishing been elsewhere?

thats great glad to hear your catching fish

lovinfishin9 · 03-02-06, 10:04 PM

horrible, but im still glad to see other people are catching fish

everettvet · 03-03-06, 02:16 PM

'fishin9,

Sorry to hear that the bite has been that bad. I guess I will put my rod/reel down this weekend. I am heading to Pickwick for the FLW tour weigh in on Saturday afternoon. My family and I are going to cheer on a friend who made the cut. Hope you get the chance to fish!

bass kicker · 03-03-06, 02:24 PM

that would be neat to watch

everettvet · 03-03-06, 02:53 PM

I have never been to a weigh in for a tourney of that level. I am looking forward to seeing it! 6 more patients to see and I will be on the road!

lizardsrule · 03-03-06, 09:01 PM

WTG, glad you caught a few. Are the patients Bassaholics, who need counseling for the Ice and Snow LOL

every year i go to the weigh in for BFL tour on lake erie in September!! Always fun to see a 6-7 lb. smallie being weighed in! Plus i get to help carry the weight in bags full of hawgs back down to the boat that relases them... great fun!!

where abouts on lake erie because i live not that far from new york area fort erie canada

everettvet · 03-04-06, 10:12 AM

Well, I was unable to go to FLW weigh in. My three year old got sick yesterday and I didn't figure riding 5 hours with a puking kid would be fun. I will go see it when they come to Kentucky Lake in May.

LoneStarAngler07 · 03-06-06, 04:31 PM

i love the flw tour...thats too bad man, sure it wouldve been great!

KenDammit · 03-06-06, 04:42 PM

whereabouts in Kentucky are you located?

everettvet · 03-06-06, 06:07 PM

I live in Paducah, KY. The great thing is that I live less than 1/2 hour from Kentucky lake. Bad thing is I need a bigger boat to get on that lake. I don't think my 10.2 basshound with a 44lb trolling motor will do the trick! I am currently in the market for a used bass boat. I am looking but not found the one for me, yet! Are you a wildcat fan?

KenDammit · 03-08-06, 10:36 PM

lol, you know I am...can't be anything but a UK fan living this close to Lexington!

bass kicker · 03-09-06, 02:32 AM

keep lookin you can find good deals on bass boats every where

everettvet · 03-09-06, 01:25 PM

Ken,

the cats are pretty sad this year! Maybe next we will be better. Ever go to Rupp? I have season tickets, but I haven't been to fired up about this years team.

brobrian · 03-09-06, 02:44 PM

Congratulations on a good day fishing. Hope to get out tomorrow if the monsoon breaks.

They sure have made it difficult haven't they. The three seven-footers have sure made a difference this year. LOL

It is raining so hard here that it looks like a trout stream running down the road. Maybe I can sneak away from work tomorrow and go pond fishing! Where do you fish at in Henderson?

JB · 03-09-06, 05:23 PM

wow everettvet,
I bet I've been by your house a time or too..we always stay in benton every spring to fish ky tournies and go to paducah for beer and walmart..when I got all my stuff stolen from big bear marina I had enough money left that day to get a rod n reel in paducah for the tourney ...
We arent going this year but I plan on showing denny the ropes of big bear, the moors, jonathen, blood river and smiths cove,,
heck each cove at ky lake is bigger than lakes arouind here rofl

brobrian · 03-09-06, 05:54 PM

I mainly do what it sounds like you do and that is pond fishing. I did just purchase a permit to fish on some coal mining property that I hear is very promising. I also plan on trying out Audubon State Park lake, but from what I hear it is nothing special, but it is still fishing. They apparently don't don't do anything to promote and/or improve the fishery there. I have a friend who takes me to a private pond in Crittenden Co. that is small, but loaded with big fish. My options are limited by not having a boat. I hoped to get one over the winter, but EVERYTHING about our new house cost more than estimated. Nevertheless, whether it be by land or by sea, I still love to fish!
By the way,
I really think UK is trying to lose this game.

I suppose they have a little bit..but me being me..I always have hope and just KNOW they'll pull the next one out. I have been a couple times, but usually can't get a ticket..so I mainly watch on the good ole TV. The last time I went to rupp this year was for Midnight Madness...but since we're having this year I might not go back! lol

Where at in Crittenden Co.? There is a nice looking pond on Main Lake Road, but I have never fished it. My wife has a some family there and I get up when I can.

UK did their best to let Ole Miss win. If they play like that today, Bama will stomp them. Don't get me wrong, I love my Wildcats! But, I am a realistic fan and I know they can be beat.
