Northern Kentucky fishing areas

[Matt Plapp]

You might want a refund on that diploma, read the entire post. Northern Kentucky is awesome. It's 1 of the only places in the midwest with the economy, housing, ease of getting to great locations to visit and fish in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. And actually the fishing on the river is awesome, but you central kentucky boys are spoiled by being able to catch fish at your lakes no matter how skilled you are.

It's like me golfing, I play great when the fairways are wide, no water, no sand and no trees. But put me on a course with all those things and I run out room on the scorecard.

Heck even I can catch a limit on KY lake

dave every creek you mentioned on the big O is a release area for tourneys heck you should call matt and have him bring his release boat to the next bfl out of tanners and haul all the fish to the "gravelpit" for us just like they did a couple years ago aint that right matt.

[Matt Plapp]

I agree with the release creeks. I wish we would use the release boat more, but every time we use it I get accused of some crap. Heck I got followed by 3 boats the time I released the fish in the gravel pit, at least they were off limits there.

It's a no win situation, but all the research that I have seen shows the fish released at ramps are not at danger from the next day or weeks tournaments. They are gone by then, why I do it is because of the ramp fisherman that take our keepers out of the water with a night crawler and eat them that night. That is the biggest issue with releasing fish at a ramp, not the tournament anglers.

I'll take lexington over cinci 50 to 1. Cinci is too big for me, traffic is horrid, and the cost of living is too high for what it is. Had plenty of friends move there to take jobs after school, personally had two jobs with firms up there that I could have had but I think I would rather flip burgers than move up there. Too many buckeyes for me.

This is part of my point about n.ky. fishing everyone fishes release areas on the river the dixie guys, plapps guys,wed. and thurs. night guys if ones off limits they run to the other.thers no way to control it.

INCORRECT, Plapp's does not release our fish into known areas, we do not release at the ramps or in the creeks you may think. We released fish in 7 tournaments in 2007 on the river in our release boat, we did not promote where they went, anglers were not even permitted on the boat when we released them and except for 1 tourny, a BFL, where some anglers from another dealership followed us for a bad reason, no one has actually known where we released the fish. Fishing release fish anyways is the biggest unknown. Fish migrate faster than anyone thinks.

matt,I,m not talking about where you drop them I,m talking about plapps,dixie,wed. or thur night tx,s who fish release areas other than where they launch tanners tx,s run to bigbone,bryants,craigs and vice versa matter of fact I watched one of your well known pro staffers fish the boat ramp area at tanners in a thurs. night t last year and to him the release fish there were not a unknown I seen hin catch 2 off the tree by the ramp so I am correct.

I think we are not focusing on the question the guy asked if there were any good fishing areas in Northern KY. The answer was yes there are some decent ones with some really good ones within a few hours. Doesn't matter what fish are released where.

[Matt Plapp]

I'm not disputing anglers fish release fish, that's pretty much anywhere though. I don't think it's any better than fishing bed fish. Your probably talking about Sean Weida, he loves that tree.
