My buddy and I went bass fishing in the KY River. We put in around 9:00 this morning. First place we stopped was my smallmouth wall. I got a few bites but no hookups. (The current was still pretty strong even though the water level is down to normal pool) Next we went to a spot down river near he wanted to try. We started fishing in the mouth of a creek where a big ol' tree is in the water. We both caught a dink on first cast but then we began catching some nicer largemouths. After a few catches the bite would slow down so we would move to another area for a little while then come back and they would bite again. We did this for a couple of hours. Then we decided to head back to my smallmouth wall but fish it going upstream. I caught a pretty but little smallie. A few casts later I caught one about 2# then after a long dry spell we decided to call it a day. As my buddy got his gear stowed he pulled the trolling motor up and we just drifted downstream. I figured as long as we were close enough to the bank I would keep casting. On my last cast I caught a real nice smallmouth. It is my biggest to date. I figure it weighed over three pounds. I would guess our combined weight for the day of keeper bass was over 20 pounds. It was a great day of fishing for the both of us. One of those days that don't come along very often. And the good thing is, I knew that there had to be some better smallmouth there than what I caught back in the Spring and Summer.
I hope the pictures I try to add here show up.

Mine are "x's" so who cares what they think My girlfriend likes for me to do what makes me happy as long as I don't neglect her much which I don't; and she has her hobbies so no problems here.

Nice catching there Carter. Keep them coming.

Went to Guist Creek Lake and only had one bass but a decent one. It was a little over three pounds. Didn't get a picture cause dummy me forgot camera. I would have gone back to the river but the bottom of the ramp is full of mud and the ramp is steep. Plus I was by myself and did not feel like getting a bunch of mud in the boat. And it is a you-know-what launching there by myself.

Glad you had a great day!!! I dream of wanting to have a day like that.

Glad you had a good time. Those are some nice fish.

Thank you. I am going to Taylorsville Lake this morning. I hope we have another great day there.

Waterwings · « **Reply #16 on:** November 11, 2009, 06:49:38 PM »

Hope you caught some bigguns today!

Carter · « **Reply #17 on:** November 11, 2009, 08:21:18 PM »

That was yesterday. The fishing was pretty slow. I caught five or six with the largest just at 15" which is size limit on that lake. My buddy caught one or two more than I did but he only had one keeper as well. Still, it was a good day

I need to start looking at the posting dates closer, lol. Good to hear you caught some!

Like I've always said ..."some (one even) is better'n none!" But there's always the scentic route.

Waterwings · « **Reply #20 on:** November 11, 2009, 10:58:01 PM »

I haven't been fishing in so dang long, I'm living vicariously through everyone's fishing posts and pics.

Carter · « **Reply #21 on:** November 11, 2009, 11:57:58 PM »

Greg, you and Scott are always welcome to fish with me

pondhopper · « **Reply #22 on:** November 12, 2009, 03:45:23 AM »

Thanks for the invite Carter. Do to my “breathing problems” I have only been out of the house twice now in the last two weeks. You cannot imagine the pain of sitting around in 75* weather and looking at the boat cover! I go to the Vet today so maybe I can get released. I have at least been working on organizing the baits.

Carter · « **Reply #23 on:** November 12, 2009, 09:14:24 AM »

Scott, back in the 80's I had a hernia operation. I was not allowed to do anything, including fishing because I might catch a big one and reinjure myself. That lasted for eight whole weeks of Spring/Summer. So I share your pain. Good luck today. I hope you get a good report.
