I have been fishing KY lake quite a bit this year and honestly I have just enough experience to be confused. I fish with some of the what I would call local experts from time to time but decided I would go on a guided trip with someone that I or the fishing group I associate with doesn't really know just to get a new feel for the lake and learn some things. WHAT A JOKE. I am really disappointed with the trip and actually cut it off early. The guy is a "pro" that has fished the lake for 27 years. He has fished bass masters tournaments and of course the tournaments leading up to them so I know this guy knows how to catch fish but only took us (my fishing buddy and I) on a wild good chase. We fished the same pattern for 6 hours with only 3 fish put in the boat. I know the pattern he was fishing and it has been pretty good but it just wasn't working but he wouldn't change. That is the exact reason i wanted to go with a guide is to learn when,why and how to change things up when the known pattern shuts off for whatever reason. All he said was "the sun is out today they are going to be hard to catch". I kept grilling him on what we should do next but he never did anything. I told myself going into it that I was not going to be stubborn with my ways and let the "pro" teach me so I kept relatively quiet and not too pushy. I probably screwed up big time by letting him know that I fish the lake quite a bit. We were supposed to fish until 3 but at noon I asked him to take us back to the ramp. My buddy and I unloaded our stuff out of his boat and into mine and went back out. We had a limit on the boat in an hour and a half. What a waste of money. Not only did I not catch a fish with him but also didn't learn a thing. Rant over
