I've been mainly fishing Freeman Lake in Elizabethtown Ky, but also a few other places. Freeman Lake is a good spot for me as I can stop there and fish a while each time I'm in town. It's got a lot of bank pressure, and with that, I'm proud I've coaxed a few bass into taking the chance on my lures.

 

I'm wondering if anyone else here fishes Freeman Lake and could give me some advice specific to the lake.

 

And dare I ask if anyone in my area could help me find more places to fish, I'd appreciate it.  The only other places I know are Saunders Springs in Radcliff, and Valley Creek (pronounced crick) Reservoir in Etown. There is a small lake that is church owned that I fish in Stevensberg also. I'm not familiar with anything else.

 

Thanks all.

I still haven't found anything new, but I have some leads. A friend says he knows of pond on a WMA that is pretty good, but I haven't had a chance to get out there yet.

I ended up meeting a gent at the lake and we got to talking, and exchanged a bit of spot info. I got a lead on a new spot, and made a new friend that seems as passionate about fishing as me. Praise God. I did tell him about BassResource too!

I was shown a spot on rough river where I can enter or fish from the bank the other day. Didn't hang out to fish it any, just check it out. Never fished a river before, should be interesting.

Be prepared to lose some lures........river fishing from shore is a lot of fun, but it is not as easy to unsnag a lure from shore than it is from a boat....and rivers tend to have a lot more snags than lakes.

Thanks.

 

When we were there, there was some baitfish schooling real close to the ramp area. Water was way down, so no one using it.
