Bigbass Trail ....

Me and my partner Blaine fished the Bigbass Trail on Lake of Egypt yesterday. We ended up winning the event with 5 fish for 15.47 lbs. We caught all of our fish on jerkbaits, we used several different models of them to cover different depths. I was using a Powell 703 glass rod with 10lb Triple fish Fluorocarbon, also a Powell 683 with 12 lb triple fish fluorocarbon. We have another tournament next weekended, hopefully we can do it again.

GOD Bless

Lake of Egypt....

Went to Lake of Egypt yesterday with my buddy Blaine prefishing for a tournament next weekend. We Started on the north end by the power plant water temp up here was 58-59 deg we caught fish up here, Flipping, Spinner baits, and crankbaits. After catching a few fish up here we decided to go toward the back of the lake and see what the water temp was down there and it was 49-51 degree's. We caught fish down here on Carolina rigs, crankbaits, and jerkbaits. We ended up catching 11 lake keepers for the day and about 14-15lbs. Hopefully we can catch this next week when we fish the bigbass trail.

until next time

GOD BLESS !

update since bowseason began...

Well it has been a while since my last blog. But I have been bow hunting almost everyday possible. I had a couple of bucks spotted that me and some of my buddies were after this year and I got one of them he was an 8point(refer to picture). Shot him at about 8yds and he ran about 100yards. The rage broadheads are awesome! Other than this buck it has been slow hunting for me. I haven't seen anything decent since November 1st when I shot the 8 point. On the fishing side I have been cleaning some of my reels and I am going to sell my G-Loomis rods if you are interested send me an email at kylakefishn@yahoo.com .

until next time

GOD BLESS ! !

Final BFL..

Well my twins are doing fine and I got out to prefish last week and the two days before the tournament and I found my fish out on ledges and shallow around grass in practice. The fish on ledges I caught on jigs, worms, and Carolina rig. The fish shallow I caught on frogs.



Day 1 I ran down about 15 miles past paris on Kentucky Lake and started shallow but with little success and small fish. So I went on down farther to a ledge where I thought there was a group of fish. I started out with the jig and caught fish immediately but they were small so I went up and down the ledge and by 1200pm I had 3 keepers and 12lbs 4oz, While my co angler had 1 that was 5lb 12oz after I gave him a jig... We then headed back north to get closer to the check in stopping on about 6 other ledges but no other keepers. So I ended up in 12th after the 1st day.



Day 2 I made the run again down south past paris and I told my day 2 partner Wilby we would stay on this ledge most of the day today. We fished here until about 100pm and by now I had 1 keeper and he had 4 so we thought he only needed 1 more keeper and he would have a shot to win. We headed across the lake to another ledge where we doubled up in practice and I caught my 2nd keeper and the Wilby caught his 5th keeper about 3lbs. So now we decided to head on back toward Moors Marina as we thought he had a good chance to win and we didn't want to take any chances. We stopped close to marina on a ledge but only caught small ones.





I ended up 14th and quailified for the regional. And Wilby won the Co-angler side!



I was using a 734 powell rod for jig , with 17lb triple fish flourocarbon.

I just want to thank GOD for blessing me with the fish that I caught.

God Bless!

Well it has been a while since my last update but we have just had twins Lake (Boy) and Lexi (girl) on7/28/09 had to take our boy to St. Francis in Cape. But I have been doing some night fishing and Early scouting for the upcoming deer season. here are a few photo's

Sportsmens Edge Team Event...

Well my team partner(Doug) and I fished the Sportsmens Edge Tournament on Kentucky yesterday and we had an awsome day of fishing. We caught over 20 keepers and had 19.95 lbs but this lake is incredible! We were not even close to the win it took over 26lbs and they had a 1lb penalty! I think we ended up 14th or 15th. WE fished in the New Johnsonville area where I went to last week during the BFL and couldn't get on any of my places. We found a new area and they were stacked in there. Maybe next time. God Bless!

Stren Series Kentucky Lake.....

Started Prefishing on monday and put in at Moors to stay on the north end. Fished all day long and only ended up with 1 keeper for the day. Then on Tuesday I put in at Paris,TN to fish around my area I had caught them in for the BFL last weekend and the water down here had turned to mud where I was catching my fish on ledges. So I tried to find some more places in the cleaner water and was unsuccessful. I could not catch a keeper. So Wednesday I stayed north again to try to find some on ledges up here I finally caught a few keepers deep and then went flipping and caught 2 more. I ended up the day with 15lbs, but did not feel good about the tournament.

DAY 1: I went to my ledge on the north end of Kentucky caught a lot of shorts and stripers. We then left and tried a few more without any luck. Then I went flipping in the bay where I caught them on Wednesday and caught 1 keeper in here. We flipped for about 3-4 more hours with no keepers and I decided to go back to my ledge again for the last part of the day. I caught 2 more keepers here and my co angler caught 1 5lber. I ended up with 8lb 8oz for day 1.

Day2: I decided to go fishing and hit as many points as I could until we ran into them. Started on my ledge and caught 1 keeper right away. We then moved across the lake and started to run points finally after the 5th point we hit the mother load. I caught 6 keepers off here and lost another 4lber which would have culled. After a while here we were going to try another point just up from this one, when my trolling motor board went out on foot control so we had to go in and get it repaired. Ron Lappin our Tournament Director was very helpful as I didn't have my trailer at that ramp so he used his vehicle and got us out and taken care of. I just want to say that Scott at the repair trailer was very good and quick about getting us back out on the water. After getting back out we caught more shorties but no more keepers and I thought I would need to cull the one fish out. But I ended the day with 17lb 10 oz and 60th place.

Didn't feel to bad to finish there after the practice I had! I was using a 703 Powell cranking rod with 12lb Triple Fish flourocarbon line and 7'6 cranking rod with 10lb triple fish flourocarbon and for flipping a 766 Powell Flipping rod with 25lb Triple Fish x-rated line. Until next time good fishing and GOD Bless!

Ky Lake BFL...

Started practice on thursday and my first stop on a ledge we caught 5 keepers and several other shorties. Went on to some other ledges with some success not as good as the first but caught some more fish. We then started to move north of the Paris bridge to fish a few places up there aand I stopped on a seconday point and caught a 5.10 at this point we had 22lbs and quit for the day. Friday we had a delay starting due to weather. Then we got started at 800 on first stop had a 3pounder. We moved to the next ledge and caught 2 more 3lbers. Then I had a ledge up toward ramp to try and we had several fish here with 4 more keepers and left for the day. Saturday I ran past Paris to my ledge there and immediately started catching fish. I caught 4 keepers here and had to let a 17.5inch smallie go that hurt. Then I started moving up the lake and caught my 5th keeper another 4.5lb fish. This gave me about 14lbs I thought and I needed another 4lber to cull a 15incher out. But it never came and I ended up with 14lb09oz and 10th. I was using a powell 703 glass cranking rod with 12lb triple fish flourocarbon and a 705 jig rod with 15lb triple fish flourcarbon.

Until next time good fishing and God Bless!
