Hey man, it was really good to meet up with you today. Seems like you hit the nail on the head today as far as what the fish wanted. Sorry I was deterred with my cousin, it's his first trip down and I wanted him to have a good time. Probably going back out tomorrow morning and see if they're still biting. I'll let you know when they do the city park.

[45 Caliber]

Good meeting you too Oxmos...we'll have to get together and talk to some birds here shortly.

[KY_Xcutter]

Yes Sir,
It was definatly a successful outing. I met someone new, shared some stories and caught a few trout along the way.

I doesn't get much better.

Guys...we'll have to do it again sometime when the water is not as muddy...suprised we even got a hit as muddy as the water was!

Look forward to flinging some sticks and lead at some fur and feathers with you guys.

Keep in touch,

Alan (45)

From the looks of the weather, it won't be any time soon on the fishing. Cave Run was putting out quite a bit today. Be lucky to keep your line in the water, much less catch a trout. The birds seem to be doing alright, just a tad wet though. Be careful out there with all this rain and flooding!

[45 Caliber]

KY X, Oxmos, Greatwhite...


Guys....from the looks of things, our honey hole probably got washed out! What do you think.

[KY_Xcutter]

We all took a trip down there yesterday. The water was backed way up. But not really flowing. The dam was almost all the way shut down. The water was over the spillway opening.

By the way I bought a Mossberg yesterday, can't wait to get after some turkeys with it. Its a good shootin gun.

Do you think our hole would be fishable sunday?

[ky_great_white_bowhunter]

I hope it is, I am going to on my own then. I won't have this good school food to look out for me then. Plan on staying out at cave run next week, or atleast for a couple of days. If it is fishable, which I doubt I am going to be that lucky, I plan on being there. We went out to the spill way yesterday and it looked like the river was flowing backwards. But hopefully this wont effect our fish. Oxmos and Xcutter went out to the spillway today, I haven't heard from them yet so I don't know what the conditions are. Talk to you later

[KY_Xcutter]

I think the Cold front shut the fish down, or theres too much food in the water now since the rain. Hopefully things will be back to normal.

[45 Caliber]

I'd say a lot of those "browns" got washed down too! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>

[KY_Xcutter]

I hope they got washed way down stream!!!<img src=icon_smile_dead.gif border=0 align=middle>

[45 Caliber]

Went down to try and fish our hole again today....the water was way too high to fish...I'd say at least another 3 or 4 days before you could fish it<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle> you guys been seeing any feathers?

[oxmos]

Can't say I've been seeing many feathers. On Spring break now and I've been catching back up on sleep these past few days. Gonna get out and start scouting around the farm and see what's here though.

[KY_Xcutter]

Can't say that I've been looking real hard for them. I've been staring at the backs of my eyelids hear lately. Getting ready to go to a bow shoot tonight.

[45 Caliber]

Guys....Wonder what that hole of water looks like today? I have been itching to go back and go up above that hole to see what kind of fishing is up that way. Wonder if it is fishable/ wadable now?

[KY_Xcutter]

I haven't been down there in a while but i know that the spillway is putting out alot of water. Don't know what the fishing will be like.

[45 Caliber]

still no good fishing guys...I believe we're going to have to wait until they let out a lot of the water out of the lake before it gets back to normal...did you guys know that there's walleyes in there too? I didn't know this until someone told me. I'd like to go down with about 2 dozen chubbs about 4 or 5 inches long, fish it and see what we would catch. I'd said there's some good cats in there too!

Take care!
45

[ky_great_white_bowhunter]

I can't wait until the weather starts getting warmer, I love to go cat fishing. I just like to go out and BS with my friends and catch a couple of fish. Maybe we will get a couple of good warm days and we will get out there and try to catch a few.

[KY_Xcutter]

You got that right GW can't wait till the weather warms up so we can start catching a few catfish. I just love them things.

[45 Caliber]

I'll take you guys to a place on the cave where we can catch them all day long...I have never night fished this place but have caught several good channels and one mud out of this area during the day...would imagine you would really catch em after dark

[KY_Xcutter]

Thanks for the invite 45 I need a good catfishing spot closer to school those trips back home get costly. I love them channel cats!!!

We'll have to set a day aside and go. What do you catch them on?

Xcutter

[GSP]

I don't know if you fellars have a boat to catfish out of, if so, go up Licking river about a 1/2 mile past Beaver creek. This will be the first big bend in the river. I caught my best catfish ever from that spot. A 76 pound flathead. There used to be a store called Sportsmans Paradise on 1274 up at the head of Cave Run. They used to have a picture of me and that fish. (I was the one without the whiskers)<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

[raktrakr]

76lbs <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> how do you get somethin like that in the boat

[GSP]

Better yet, make it a 12 foot john boat. You grap one end and have someone else grab the other.

[KY_Xcutter]

GSP, I know its hard to let people know about a good honey hole. Thanks for the info.

[KY_Xcutter]

Hey 45, Did I hear you say something about a place in Grayson that holds Bow shoots or something. I'm pretty sure I've heard it somewhere before.

[45 Caliber]

Guys...

There's an archery range in Grayson but when I went there it was closed. I think they were to open around April 1st. Go like you are going towards Grayson lake and it's on your right just before you get to the lake. I can't remember the name of it. There's also Northeast KY Fish and Game Club in Ashland which I am a member of. They have a 3D range and an indoor range. I haven't shot any there yet.

Have you guys been fishing any. Can't wait till this weather breaks. This weather sux. Going to try to go this weekend. Would like to fish the honey but I'd say it's slim to none of wading by then.

You guys take care!

Later,
Alan

[wvhighcountry]

45,
Sounds like you guys get out a lot. How far is cave run from the Fort Knox area? I would like to shoot a few times at that range. I would really like to meet up with you guys and catch some of them catfish. I'll let you put a blind fold over my eyes I just like fishing for them big ones. But I tell you I'm a old Zebco 33 man so I dont know if they can handle one's like you and GSP are talking about. But hey you guys have a good one.

Guys the range in Grayson is Trophy Hunters Archery Club, great bunch of guys and gals there to shoot with. They have a few come up to our club in Prestonsburg and shoot and we go down there several times through the year. They usually shoot on Sundays like our club does.

Highcountry cave run is about two hours and fourty-five minutes from the Fort Knox area.

P.S. I'm a Zebco 33 man as well.

45 and whoever is in the area. I found out today about a place off Ky 32 north of Morehead on Pennington rd. I have not gotten to shoot there yet but I got their schedule today and they have a practice shoot every tue. 15 targets and on Saturdays is their 30 target tournaments.

[45 Caliber]

KY X...I vaguley remember now someone talking about a range out that way at JB's...I don't remember the details just that there was a 3D range out that way somewhere. Let us know if you find the place.

PS: have they put any in triplett yet? they are going to get the honey on April 16th @ 11:45.


WVHIGH...

the best way to get to the cave from knox is BG parkway....like x said, it's about 21/2 to 3 hours...Have you been home any since you been at Knox?

[wvhighcountry]

45,
I havent been home since I got back except to go pick my wife and little girl up. I'll be going that way for a few days to Turkey Hunt.

We got plenty of turkeys around here...i got 2 birds last year the first and second day of season. Are you going to take any leave this year for deer season? I'll be hunting the camp. Maybe we can get together. My cousin got a nice 8 out of there last year. I saw 13 deer the first day of rifle season there last year! Wanna talk about getting the heart a pumpin!<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

[KY_Xcutter]

45 you can put money on it that we will be down there tomorrow. Saw a whole lot of people fishing in the north fork today. I figured that they turned em out.

[45 Caliber]

up cranston??

[wvhighcountry]

45,
Ya I will take some leave for deer season. All the guys in the fam goes up to Randolph County and stay the week of Thanksgiving. I thought about taking some leave during bow season and going back to WV to hunt. I tell ya I'm really enjoy what I'm seeing here in Kentucky. We will see what happens. I want to hunt as much as I can since I missed the whole last year. Hey take it easy!

We went to the City park and fished today and only caught one. It was just slow. Talked to some guys that were down there and they fished all morning. Between two of them they had 14. We used corn Worms minnows and spinners. I think they headed upstream.

We'll keep trying.

[45 Caliber]

i am putting on my waders, getting me a rub of timber wolf and hitting north fork right now....post later

45

[45 Caliber]

only caught two yesterday and going back for more today

[oxmos]

When you goin back? I was there at noon and caught 5...probably go back later this evening around 5 or so. Cold weather seems to have slowed them down a bit.

[45 Caliber]
