is it April yet. Hell, ill settle for March.

Looks like I can get bi-focals in limited availability as far as material and tints.

Good, I am blind.

Can't see far away or close up and bi-focals are a must.

I hear ya.  I'm ready to go.  Get me outta here.  I'm tired of the frigid cold and snow. >

will i be able to go along with someone on a boat? i don't have one and although i don't mind fishing from the shore, driving from maine to kentucky just to watch a bunch of guys taking off in boats would be a major drag.

Looking at a map, it appears part of KY Lake lies in or at least along side of Tennessee.  Is a fishing license from either state valid for the entire lake?  Is there any advantage to buying one state's license vs. the other for non-residents?

tjmaniac, everything possible will be done to ensure that no one is left to fish from the shore. That's one of the reasons why we ask everyone to submit a Sign-Up Form. It provides me with information on who's bringing a boat and whether there is room in the boat for any non-boaters. At this point it looks as if there is adequate seating for everyone.

MNgeorge, a Kentucky license allows you to fish from the dam on the north, south into Tennessee to the HWY 79 bridge.  That's about 45 miles as the crow flies.  The same applies for Lake Barkley to the east.  I have no idea how many hundreds of miles of coastline are included, but let's just say you will never see it all.  ;D

thanks Mike, I'll be looking at signing up, need to check my budget first, wish i had enough money to do it all!  :

Several of you guys have made noises about sending in your forms but I haven't seen them yet.  You know who you are.

Wa.Waa..Waaa..... . Been busy catching these guys this winter

I'll make sure to get them mailed soon.

Thanks Simp! 

People are driving their trucks across the frozen surface of our lakes right now.  Getting to see a picture of somebody holding up a couple of bass in front of open water is sure to make the winter crawl along even slower!  JK.

My calendar says that in just three short months, I should be preparing to back my boat into KY Lake for the first morning.  It can't come soon enough!

Roughly.....183 miles long, now add in all the coves and bays........I've been here since the dinosaurs roamed the shoreline and I've not seen it all

Mike, I just emailed my filled out form to you and got a rejected email back.

I'll be there Fri-Mon.

Way to rub it in Simp. We're suffering through a typical Chicago winter and you're catching fish. Oh well-

Go Bears!!!!!

Deb and Mike, thanks for the info.  I wasn't looking to see the whole lake, I was just asking which state's license would be valid for a non-resident and if there was any money to be saved by buying one or the other.  Retirees like myself on a fixed income have to watch our pennies whenever we can.   :

MNgeorge, I was responding to your specific question.  Your best bet is to buy a KY license because you will be fishing KY water exclusively, unless you get a wild hair up your butt and want to fish fifty miles further south.  As for which out of state license is cheaper, I have no idea.  You can do the internet search as easily as I can.

KY license is the way to go.  You can fish TN waters all the way down to Paris Landing (Hwy 79 bridge).

I am going to be tremendously busy threw April now, and I'm trying to save up money so I doubt I will be able to go now. Sorry for botherin anyone.

Flukemaster can't make it.

FiveBass better make it.

For those of you who have never met Bud, he is another wealth of Kentucky Lake knowledge.  Like Roadwarrior, you should be prepared to hear all about Shimano and Loomis.   ;D

Its official.  I'll be there Fri-Mon.   You guys coming in on Sunday might be fishing for sore lipped fish. ;D
