I have fished near Aurora a few times and it is pretty decent. I have always put in at the KY Dam Marina and ran down. Should be good in the Spring if we don't get some crazy cold front or tornados. Don't forget to get KY and TN licenses if you venture very far south out of Aurora (into TN) because you will need both to be legal if you fish in KY and TN waters.

You'll only need TN license if you go south of the Paris Landing bridge. This act (I forget the proper term used), was reinstated 3 or 4  years ago. The paris Landing bridge is over 20 miles south of Aurora. Then a TN license is good anywhere south of the  68 bridge (Egnersferry Bridge), with the exception of Blood River.

This is 100% correct....BUT....if you go to Barkley the state line rules and there is no reciprocation. Gotta love politics.....also the size limit for smallies in TN is 18" on Barkley Lake

hmmm I may make an appearance... 13 hours? i dont even care. party on!!!!!!

HMMMM I wonder if the wife will give me a kitchen pass...  I probably won't know for quite a while if I can make it.. but holy cow... won't that be cool if I could!

It would be more than cool, it would be an honor.

Its no longer tempting for me......

I will be there for sure!

Is it a problem if I don't have a boat?

IL_Bassman, not at all. Many non boaters attend the roadtrips.

SFC_AL, would love to see you make it! Like Russ, it would be an honor! BTW, has anybody thanked you lately? THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO SIR!

I was going to suggest KY or Table Rock, they're both right down the road from me about the same distance (250 miles).  Barring unforeseen issues like I faced this year, I will be there.

Haven't fished KY in 30 years, the last time I was there I took 2nd in a club Tourney.  Just hope it doesn't get windy.....

I think me and Alex might just make the long haul down there. We have a whole year to save money...  ;D

Yep me and jay should be there, with the boat, i'll be out of college making the big bucks.  It will be a long drive but it should be worth it

10 Hours 54 Minutes and I will be jumping in my seat the whole way down.

I drive by KY Lake a couple times a year going to the inlaws in Owensboro.  I've always wondered what the fishing was like.   Count me in, I'm there!

You will be driving right by me.  We could always car pool if your interested!

Circumstances didn't allow me to make the trip this year, but I'm going to do everything I can to be there next year. I don't know next year's school schedule yet, but that week isn't school vacation is it? I owe the family a trip during school vacation, and I'm not sure Kentucky Lake is going to qualify . . . :-/

Hey Norman: what if FENWAY opening day is that week, what would you do?

They got a satellite down there?

I just Mapquest'd directions, 2164 miles from my home.  I'd have to see what it would cost to ship out my Ranger....

Don't worry with the Ranger.  Just bring yourself and Gidget.  I think they even rent boats there.  I hope you can make it.
