It's hard to believe January is almost OVER! Get ready for SPRING!

Well, it is almost time for spring rush!  Have any of y'all called Craig to set up some fishing trips.  I still get pictures from him daily and I am posting the ones to catch y'all up to date.  The temperatures have been pretty mild - at least compared to where we are from Ohio!  Craig has sent me the following pictures and I think you will see that they keep right on top of things.  You need to remember to call Danna @ Cozy Cove and make your reservations.  Her number is 1-800-467-8168 - she will be happy to put you in one of their beautiful cottages.  Craig's number is 270-354-5221.  Call NOW and set up your fishing dates!

Good Ole Big One

6 lber. had about 22 lbs.

Everything is biting!

Don't Worry - Craig is still on the water almost every day checking things out!

Well, I have been in holiday mode and Craig, as always, in still in fishing mode.  I checked back and found out I have not posted a picture since December 15.  Now anyone who knows Craig knows that he has not stopped fishing.  Eddie has done some fishing - but the old ball and chain has kept him off the lake and I apologize.  Believe me - it will change in about a week.  I have no control when his bones quit creaking! lol.  The next few pictures are gonna have info under them cause that's the only way I know to get it sorted out.  By the way - Danna @ Cozy Cove is keeping all those cabins ready for you guys - a little Under Armor and some hot coffee and you can have a great winter story.  It's warming up here - y'all come down.

OK - I going to another post - I still have lots of pictures!!

OK - 9 AM Colder than an Eskimos nose and guess who is Fishing!

I am sitting is my PJ's and I get a pix message from Craig. It is colder than (you fill in that blank) and he has Craig Johnson out and they are catching. He is like the everready bunny. He just keeps going and going - Connie can't you ground him anymore? It is 30 degrees out, water temp is 43.3 and he is still catching. The man was born to fish! This makes me cold just looking @ it!

What can I say - It's December 10 - this is what Craig brought in today

Maybe we should open a dating service for Craig - cause if we don't - he is not coming off the lake.  This is what he did today - just 3 or so hours!  See you on the Lake!

Craig takes Steve and Earl out for a Crappie Binge!!

OK most of us are dodging snowflakes and Craig is on the water, this time with Steve and Earl, fishing for crappie.  I think Craig is 1/8 crappie on his Mom's side (just foolin Connie).  They had a heck of a trip and caught crappie like most of us would dream about.  These pictures just don't do justice - it is 40 degrees out and I'm thinking keep a pot of coffee on and don't open the front door.  Craig is a all weather kind of guy.  Cozy Cove keeps those guys so happy - and Danna is such a good hostess - they don't even feel the cold.  Y'all keep warm, but remember - come on down to Kentucky Lake - Craig or Eddie one will get you out there and catch.  Enjoy the pix.  See you on the Lake!

Craig gives Dave Lambert of Middletown, OH a fishing lesson.

Dave has been coming to Kentucky Lake since he was knee-high to a grasshopper.  He is now bigger than a grass hopper.  See Dave, when I know you - you gonna get smacked around a little.  Craig has been taking Dave out for years and this trip was no different.  They caught fish till the water froze (just kidding)!  Eddie and I both know Dave too.  HOWEVER - he didn't come to see us.  He only has eyes for Craig.  Here are some pictures from their trips out.  Craig never lets the customer down.  See you on the Lake!

I hope none of these are duplicates - believe me, if you have seen one fish you have seen them all!

Guides on the Move

OK - I know y'all been wondering where Craig and Eddie has been.  They have been fishing of course, and I have been putting the blog off.  I'm telling you, I keep hoping Craig fires me.  Fat chance.  I have several pictures to do and the first group are a mixture of trips Craig has taken with and without Eddie.  I am gonna put these out there and try my best to keep them straight.  Eddie did help Craig twice this month with companys that needed more than one guide.  Craig was on crappie pretty much every day.  Eddie got on crappie a couple of days, but what he didn't catch in crappie, he caught in yellers (as Craig calls them).  Here is the first group.  Remember, fishing never stops @ Kentucky Lake - and Danna over there at Cozy Cove makes sure all of the fishermen have a great place to stay - plus she has some deer stories to tell.  Anyway here goes.  See you on the Lake!

                                       
                                         This is a typical Craig trip.  Just so you know - he is 1/4 crappie!
