Ky. Afield Outdoors: Carolina rig perfect for post spawn bass

KyFishWildlife

Courtesy of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources The calendar said June 1, but the cold northeast wind, chilly rain and leaden skies seemed more like a bad day on the opening weekend of the April Keeneland meet. June finally arrived in Kentucky this week and water temperatures in lakes across the state inched their way up toward the high 70s. “Black bass are in post spawn now,” said Jeff Ross, assistant director of fisheries for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “They should be completely done with spawning.” After undergoing the rigors of reproduction, black bass move offshore. “As water temperature rises, they move out on the drops,” Ross said. “You can still catch big fish shallow, but you have a much better chance out deeper. You can also avoid the bank beating anglers.” Creek channel drops, long points that extend out to the channel, drop offs at the end of flats and submerged humps all attract summer bass. Some anglers attack these areas with heavy jigs, jigging spoons and deep running crankbaits, but a Carolina rig gives anglers more options and is easy to fish. The constant rush of new lures and techniques in the bass fishing world dulled the luster of the Carolina rig a bit over the past few years, but it remains one of the best summer presentations you can throw for bass. Use a medium-heavy power 7-foot long casting rod spooled with 17- to 20-pound test line. Onto this main line slide a ½- to 1-ounce egg or bullet sinker made of lead, brass or tungsten with ¾-ounce being a good all around choice. Slide on two glass, plastic or metal beads to protect the knot and make clicking sounds that attract bass. Tie a barrel swivel to the main line. Make an 18- to 36-inch leader of 12-pound clear fluorocarbon or copolymer line. Tie one end of the leader to the bottom ring of the barrel swivel and another to a 3/0 wide gap worm hook. A shorter leader works best for fishing shallower lakes, heavy cover or stained water. A longer leader is better for clear lakes, weed beds and deeper water. A 5-inch Senko-style soft plastic lure makes a great choice to thread on the business end of a Carolina rig. A 7-inch straight-tailed worm commonly used on a Shakey head presentation is another great choice as is a 6-inch lizard. Four-inch creature baits or double-tailed skirted grubs work well in rocky areas. Green pumpkin, junebug, watermelon candy, bold bluegill, plum glitter, motor oil and black and blue are good color choices for summer. The Carolina rig gives an angler constant feedback from bottom, not only transmitting the bottom composition, but also keeping you on your toes and attentive. With little practice, you can quickly discern if the bottom is rock, mud, or laden with weeds. The Carolina rig is an open water presentation and an angler can throw one a mile. Fish the Carolina rig where the bank beating anglers usually position their boats. If you are in a boat with someone who wants to fish the banks, cast the Carolina rig in the opposite direction. This often produces big summer bass. Cast the rig across the deeper end of mud flats where they drop off into deep water, those with weeds hold more bass. Let the rig sink to the bottom, keep the rod tip at about 10 o’clock, slowly reel, and let the sinker bang bottom. Some days, bass prefer an occasional pause in the retrieve, other days they like a steady presentation. Let the fish tell you. The edge of the submerged river or creek channel, well off the bank, is another fantastic Carolina rig spot. Some anglers tie on a shallow running crankbait to the end of a Carolina rig for creek channel fishing, allowing them to fish smaller, minnow-shaped baits as deep as they like. The Carolina rig also shines for fishing deep, submerged humps often found in the middle of the lake or major creek arm. The heavy Carolina rig keeps you in constant bottom contact on these difficult to fish structures. Humps make one of the best summer spots for smallmouth and spotted bass. The natural presentation of this rig fools bass grown squeamish from fishing pressure. The soft plastic lure floats just above bottom, moves subtly and sinks slowly. It isn’t nose heavy like a Texas rig or Shakey head, the soft plastic lure is basically weightless, moving more like natural prey. Anglers must employ a long, robust side sweeping hook set with the Carolina rig. Make sure to keep the rod tip down to keep a large bass from jumping and shaking their head. A bass that gets the heavy weight moving side to side can pop the hook loose. Many anglers believe summer is the toughest fishing time. Fishing a Carolina rig in the heat will change their mind.

Pictured with the new truck are: Hartford City Council member Bob Clements, Hartford Mayor Dean Minton and Council members George Chinn, Pamela Slaton, Katie Childers and Jerry Scoggins.[/caption] The Hartford Fire Department (HFD) has a new weapon in the battle against fires, thanks to the City of Hartford. The City of Hartford purchased a 1984 Pierce Arrow ladder truck for the HFD. The truck was purchased from the Finley Fire Equipment Company in Greenville, Ohio. According to Hartford Mayor Dean Minton, the original asking price for the truck was $189,000, but after negotiations, the city was able to purchase the truck for $39,000. The truck also features a platform at the top of the ladder where firefighters can use water cannons and a shower under the platform to fight fires. In addition to being able to fight fires more efficiently, the HFD is now eligible to apply for a federal grant that would help the department in purchasing a new ladder truck in the future. The HFD applied for the grant in the past, but one of the requirements is a department has to own a ladder truck before applying for the grant. The price of a new ladder truck is around $1.1 million.

Ky. Afield Outdoors: Don’t overlook proper eye protection

Courtesy of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Every angler has at one time or another forgotten something in their rush to leave for a fishing trip. It’s disheartening when that something is sunglasses. Squinting and shielding your eyes for hours takes some of the fun out of the experience. “More than just the damage or discomfort from the bright light, you start getting eye strain because you’re squinting to make your pupil even smaller because your pupil doesn’t get small enough naturally,” said Dr. Seema Capoor, an associate professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Kentucky. “The squinting causes brow ache and tension headaches. It’s much more comfortable and safer with sunglasses.” However, not all sunglasses are created equal. The best cut glare and make it easier to see into the water but also block the sun’s harmful rays. Amid a sea of brands and styles and lens types and colors at a wide range of prices, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the choices, so stick to some basic criteria when selecting a pair. “For something like fishing where you’ve got a lot of reflection off the surface of the water and you’re out in direct sunlight my recommendation would be to go with more of the wraparound style of sunglasses,” Capoor said. “Get the good UV filter in the lenses and polarization. The anti-reflective coating or mirror coating on the outside surface is also very helpful.” Look for sunglasses that block 99 to 100 percent of ultraviolet rays. Ultraviolet radiation can affect different layers of the eye and continued exposure without protection may lead to permanent eye damage. Regular use of sunglasses can slow down cataract formation and lessen the risks of macular degeneration. They can also retard the development of pterygium, an eye condition distinguished by a wing-like growth on the cornea that can interfere with vision and affect anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors, Capoor said.  “We know it’s associated with exposure to ultraviolet light,” she said. “Fishermen get it a lot. Farmers get it. And closer to the equator where people are at higher altitudes, they get it. It can start out young and then the continued exposure without protection can make it progress and get worse. It can require surgical intervention.” Children and people with light-colored eyes should be particularly mindful about wearing sunglasses. “Times have changed and there’s more penetration of ultraviolet light from the atmosphere than there was 30 years ago,” Capoor said. “It is advisable for children, especially blue-eyed or light-eyed children, to be wearing protective sunglasses now.” Composite lenses made from impact-resistant polycarbonate material are lighter than glass and ideal for anglers. Polycarbonate also is the preferred lens material for shooting glasses. Protective eye wear is required at all shooting ranges on Wildlife Management Areas in Kentucky. “Things can happen when you’re shooting guns,” said Mark Marraccini, spokesman for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and an experienced trap shooter. “A lot of your automatics, whenever the shell is ejected and it comes flying back, little hot flecks of burning powder may come out with it. They’ll get in the corner of your eye and they’re painful. Plus, a lot of times, other people on ranges are shooting and there’s the off chance that you can get ricochets and deflections or pieces of shot. On pistol ranges, bullets shatter when they hit steel silhouettes and you can get sprayed that way. “It’s important to remember that there’s a real serious explosion at really high pressure that’s happening about three inches in front of your face. When you put it that way, shooting glasses are extremely important.” On the water, polarized lenses are highly recommended for anglers because they sharpen vision by reducing glare from the sun’s reflection. Darker lenses don’t necessarily block more UV rays although they may be preferred by people who are extremely sensitive to light. The environmental conditions can dictate the right lens color. Gray, brown and green tints are best at providing maximum contrast while maintaining clarity and offering the most sun protection, Capoor said. Most anglers prefer grey, green or amber-colored lenses. Gray is a good all-purpose lens tint that cuts down on extremely bright conditions and won’t distort colors. Green also limits color distortion, reduces glare and improves contrast in bright sun. Brown and amber are versatile tints that cut glare and filter out blue light, increasing contrast and sharpness, especially on cloudy days.  Yellow reduces glare and enhances depth perception and contrast in low light or hazy conditions. It is considered a better option for shooters than anglers. “Different lens colors will help different colored targets stand out better,” Marraccini said. “In different lighting conditions, they make the targets even more visible than if you weren’t wearing any glasses at all.” We’re taught to apply sunscreen liberally and often to protect our skin from overexposure to the sun. Sunglasses and shooting glasses are just as important. Summer is a great time to shop around for the right pair and to remember not to leave them at home. Your eyes will thank you.

KYTC: Closure on US 60 Exit Ramp to Natcher Pkwy in Owensboro

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has closed the westbound US 60 Ramp to the Natcher Parkway southbound lanes at Owensboro, effective immediately.

A KYTC crew responded to reports heavy rain had eroded the embankment along the ramp over the weekend. On investigation, they found erosion had undermined the ramp leaving a three to four ft. void underneath the pavement. This area has experienced erosion issues in the past that required repair. However, recent rains had damaged the integrity of the roadway creating a safety hazard for passing traffic.

The KYTC Daviess County Highway Maintenance Crew is closing the US 60 westbound ramp to the Natcher Parkway southbound until further notice. It may take several weeks to complete extensive repairs required at the site.

This ramp is in the US 60 Exit 12 and Natcher Parkway Exit 72 Interchange at Owensboro.

Westbound motorists on US 60 who wish to access the Natcher Parkway southbound lanes should continue on US 60 to the US 231 Interchange, then loop back to use the eastbound US 60 ramp to access the Natcher Parkway southbound lanes.  Again, this detour may be in place for several weeks while extensive repairs can be planed and completed.

Fiscal Court enters interlocal agreement, adds road, advertises for bids

During its June 9 meeting, the Ohio County Fiscal Court entered into an interlocal agreement, agreed to pay for citizens' WorkKeys Tests, added a road to the county road system, made appointments to committees and advertised for bids. — Ohio County Judge-Executive David Johnston presented the fiscal court with a resolution to become part of an interlocal agreement with the counties of Daviess, Hancock, Henderson, McLean, Union and Webster. The counties involved in the interlocal agreement will join with the Green River Area Development District (GRADD) to form a board to oversee workforce development in the region. The board will be tasked with several duties, including how to spend federal money used to fund the area’s career centers. Ohio County has one of the few career centers solely funded by the county. “In order for us to have a say and to fight for (Ohio County), we have to be a part of (the interlocal agreement),” Johnston told the court. “And actually, the federal government says we must do this.” Johnston then asked for a motion to approve the signing of the resolution. County Attorney Justin Keown said he’d only seen the resolution that afternoon and wanted a clause removed stating the county attorney had read the interlocal agreement and certified everything was done legally. The reason Keown wanted the clause removed from the resolution was because he hadn't seen the agreement the county was about to agree to. He was not comfortable signing the resolution with no knowledge of what was in the agreement. Fifth District Larry Morphew asked Johnston if the court could table the resolution until the next June meeting. Johnston said the county was already pushing the deadline to pass the resolution and it needed to be approved in that meeting. Morphew was unsure on why the fiscal court was given the resolution at the last minute. Johnston said the interlocal agreement had only been drawn up in the last several weeks and Ohio County’s fiscal court meeting schedule was later than other counties. A representative from GRADD, who was in attendance for the meeting, said all the other counties have passed the resolution and signed the interlocal agreement. Third District Magistrate Joe Barnes asked if the resolution could wait until the next fiscal court meeting because the interlocal agreement wouldn’t be effective until July 1, 2015. Johnston said no. He was to hand deliver the resolution to GRADD the next morning. After further discussion, Fourth District Magistrate Larry Keown made a motion the fiscal court pass Resolution 2015-19 Interlocal Agreement, with the condition the county attorney has time to read the agreement and verify the other counties have complied. Second District Magistrate Jason Bullock seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. Johnston will represent Ohio County on the newly formed workforce development board. To view a PDF of Resolution 2015-19 Interlocal Agreement, click here. — Last year, the fiscal court agreed to set aside money to pay for any Ohio County citizen who wanted to take the WorkKeys Test. The county also pays for every junior to take the WorkKeys Test at the Ohio County High School. To receive the WorkKeys Tests, the fiscal court needed to sign a memorandum of agreement (MOA) stating it would pay for the tests and the Kentucky Community and Technical College would provide the tests. There were two MOAs to sign, due to the ending of Fiscal Year 2015 on June 30 and Fiscal Year 2016 beginning on July 1. The county set aside $10,000 to pay for both the students and adults test. Bullock made a motion to sign the MOAs and provide the WorkKeys test free for adult citizens. Larry Keown seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. To view a PDF copy of the 2015 and 2016 WorkKeys Test MOAs, click here and here. — Morphew made a motion to accept Shane Drive into the Ohio County Road Maintenance program with all easements signed and in place. Larry Keown seconded the motion. The road was inspected and approved by a three person committee appointed by Ohio County Judge Executive David Johnston. The road is to be entered into the county maintenance program immediately. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — Johnston told the fiscal court the county has been approached many times about leasing county owned land for gas or oil rights. He was not inclined to pursue the issue, but decided a committee needed to look into the issue further. He appointed Larry Keown, Barnes and Justin Keown to the committee and tasked them to meet within the month and report back to the fiscal court. — Johnston appointed a Road Viewing Committee to look at High Ridge Lane off of Silver Beach Road. The road is just over a half mile long. The viewing committee will be made up of Bill Burden, Jeff Miller and Josh Wright. — Barnes informed the court the Road Committee would like to advertise for bids on a road grader for the county road department. Barnes made the motion to advertise for bids. Morphew seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — Larry Keown made a motion to add 275 feet to the Sexton Road. It was explained this was an old county road. Morphew seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — After a short closed session meeting to discuss possible litigation, Johnston added Morphew to the Jerusalem Ridge Committee to serve with Bullock and Gerald Geary.
