C'Mon guys!!! Lets get this forum going a little better. We are now being passed by a few other states. I know there are a lot of KY fisherman out there. Even if you did not catch any, that will help someone from wasting gas money. Give us some reports...
Most people don't want to report they caught no fish or 20 dinks with no keepers. Both being the norm at most all KY waters
or they dont want a bunch of people over fishing there hot spots!
Does anyone still fish the Ohio river? I used to fish it all the time 20 years ago and then I discovered Lake Barkley and KY Lake. I quit fishing about 15 years ago because the kids all got involved in sports and such. Well, I'm back in! Bought a Skeeter ZX202C with Yamaha 200 EFI this spring. I had 2 Stratos before, a 16 footer and then a 295. This Skeeter is a whole lot faster than that 295 was but I'm sure it was the 175 Evinrude Ficht.
Anyway, I'm back in the fishing game and not sure if I want to try the river, I live less than a mile from a ramp. I'm definitely going to Barkley and KY Lakes when I get the chance.
I would say which pool you live on would make a difference.Originally Posted by 58LesPaul
I live right by the cannalton dam, so I assume it's called the cannalton pool?
Which ramp? Above Cannelton Dam is Cannelton pool, which has good creeks. Below is Newburgh pool, which leaves a lot to be desired. If fishing the main river, it is mostly small spotted bass.
Tar creek ramp in Cloverport. Yeah I used to fish Tar, Clover, Bull and Town creeks quite a bit. I'm sure they still don't compare to Lake Barkley though.
No, but you have some good fishing there though. Should be real good in a couple weeks.
