  • FRANKFORT, Ky

    FRANKFORT, Ky

    FRANKFORT, Ky. - They were not even recognized as a distinctive fish species until 1927. People for many years believed these fish only existed in Kentucky. In 1956, the Kentucky legislature designated this species the "Kentucky bass" and made them the official state fish. Many anglers, especially in the south-central portion of the United States, still call the spotted bass a Kentucky bass. They pale in reputation to their black bass cousins, the largemouth and smallmouth bass, but the spunk shown once hooked and their abundance should raise the profile of the overlooked spotted bass. They are also aggressive and readily strike lures. It isn't hard to tell when a spotted bass strikes. They shake their heads violently and dive bomb toward the bottom. The larger ones 15 inches and up usually grow a pronounced belly as they mature. Spotted bass use that girth along with a powerful tail against an angler while playing the fish, producing as good a fight as any comparable largemouth bass. Medium-light spinning rods with reels spooled with 6-pound fluorocarbon line is all you need for catching spotted bass. Once the fall winds blow, spotted bass begin to school up. They locate along rock bluffs or they suspend over points, submerged humps or channel drops. "At this time of year, if you catch one spotted bass, keep fishing that same spot," said Chad Miles, administrative director of the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation and dedicated spotted bass angler. "There might be 40 or 50 of them there. Spotted bass really school up in fall." In early to mid fall, these schools of spots often trap a cloud of shad against the surface and rip into them.

  • Executive Summary

    Executive Summary

    Bass Tournament Results 2008 Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Participation in the Tournament Reporting Program totaled 308 black bass fishing tournaments in 2008. This was an increase over the 284 reported tournaments in 2007 and a new high total since the program started in 1999. For other years, the total number of reported black bass fishing tournaments ranged from anywhere between 110 in 1999 to 278 in 2002. Catch data statistics were obtained from 58% of all registered tournaments in 2008. This was also an increase from the 52% observed in 2007. Black bass tournament information was obtained from 14 different large reservoirs (> 1000 acres), 11 small lakes (< 1000 acres), and the Ohio, Cumberland and Kentucky rivers. The vast majority of black bass tournaments in 2008 reported using both creel limits and size limits during their tournaments. Most tournaments followed the regulations set for the specific water body that was fished, although some enforced more stringent regulations. Creel limits of 5 or 6-fish were used by 97.7% of all black bass tournaments; however, 1.3% reported using a creel limit of only 1-fish. Size limits most commonly used in tournaments were a 12-inch or 15-inch minimum size limit. The percentage of bass anglers who reported catching a limit during a tournament increased from 11.9% in 2007 to 16.2% in 2008. This was back on track with 2006 where 16.5% of tournament anglers caught their limit. The average length of a bass fishing tournament was 8.5 hours in 2008.

  • Kentucky Vacations in Your Own Backyard

    Kentucky Vacations in Your Own Backyard

    Kentucky Vacations in your own Backyard Today there are more than 50 Kentucky state parks, including Resort Parks that feature lodges, cottages, restaurants, campgrounds and trails for hiking, horseback riding and mountain biking. There are Historic Sites that tell about Kentucky’s history from prehistoric times to the days of the Civil War, Native Americans and the early pioneers. Many of these historic locations have museums or historic buildings that make great places for family visits. Recreation Parks feature campgrounds, picnic areas, swimming areas and trails. One park is an Interstate Park, shared with the Commonwealth of Virginia. State Parks are parks or protected areas managed by the states. Usually they are established to preserve a location because of its natural beauty, historic interest or recreation potential. The development of state parks in the United States generally paralleled the development of the U.S. national parks. The oldest state park in the United States is Niagara Falls, established in 1885. The first U.S. National Park was Yellowstone, established in 1872. Until the development of parks in the United States, the great areas of land with natural beauty and historic significance had only been set aside for the wealthy, such as kings and noblemen. National parks and state parks reserved the lands for everyone. The parks movement began in the United States and has since been accepted and copied throughout the world. During WW I, visits in Europe were closed to tourists from the United States and other countries. The theme, “See America First,” was promoted as never before and concentrated on the beauty of the American landscape, especially those in the western states.
