I haven't been on Laurel Lake, i bet, in 30 years. I remember it being deep and so clear in 50 feet you can see the bottom. Makes sense you would fish it in the winter the water would have some stain to it. Thanks for sharing the trip.
Love your channel, esp since I too am a ky bass man, and also fish by myself 98% of the time on Nolin. Last day i fished, Jan 2. I haven't fished Laurel or Cumberland YET. If I'm coming up 192 going west, what and where is best ramp for me, and go what direction....Let's hook up sometime. and thanks, keep hooking.
@@catsschmats thank you! I always put in at Marsh Branch or Flatwoods depending on which end of the lake I’m gonna fish. The upper end will have more color and I usually like that end better. I spend a lot of time up in the river as we call it. The lower end is usually gin clear.
Awesome man!, how was the ramp? I’ve only owned a boat for 1 1/2 yrs so I’ve not went while is bad weather. I was setting at home wishing I was fishing! That’s for taking me along for the ride!
@@JohnTarter-s4n thank you! It wasn’t bad. I mean it was snow covered but it wasn’t slick. I was a little nervous cause I had never launched on a snow covered ramp but I didn’t have any problems at all.
@@breadman8053 Laurel is really not my favorite lake for cranking but I can be productive. Laurel is usually a good scoping lake and the next 2 and a half months is the best time of the year for it in my opinion.

That’s serious dedication right there! Good catches buddy!
@@chadstarrett1239 thanks buddy!
Glad you had a great day. Looks like a beautiful lake.
@@muddogger thank you! It’s probably the most beautiful lake I’ve ever been on. Deep, super clear, and completely surrounded by National Forest.
Great video, that looks like a great lake to fish.
@@gregrhoten4909 thank you! It definitely can be but like any other lake, it can be tough as well.
another great video & NICE fish.
@@Bipecrazy69 thank you!
You're more than welcome @@ChuckJohnsonFishing

I’m like John , what did the ramp look like?? Our tournament got canceled. Nice fish.
@@keithwaldroop961 thank you! The ramp was snow covered but not slick. I didn’t have any problems at all.
@ good deal. Some of the ramps here on Norris are pretty steep. Thanks.
@ this lake is the same way. I picked the least steep ramp. Lol
And I thought I was the only one who sent text to my buddy laughing at him while he works.

Just curious what length and power are you using in the bass pro cranking stick?
@@Sauce_Bassfishing it’s a 7’6” medium heavy. I can’t remember the action but I think it’s moderate fast maybe.
Awesome video, what lake in the area do you recommend that is great winter fishing?
@@breadman8053 thank you! Lake Cumberland and Laurel are both pretty good winter lakes.
@@ChuckJohnsonFishing Is crankbait fishing the best on Laurel or does a good demiki scope bit get good later like you mentioned?
@@breadman8053 Laurel is really not my favorite lake for cranking but I can be productive. Laurel is usually a good scoping lake and the next 2 and a half months is the best time of the year for it in my opinion.
What rod and reel are you using
@@Gokywildcats11 in this video, a Bass Pro Shops Crankin Stick with a Lews LFS reel in 6.8:1 gear ratio with Segar red label 10lb test.
Where do you find the laurel river pro rock crawler
@@tbbrock0525 laurelriverpro.com. I don’t think his online store is completely done yet but it will be soon. Or you can find them on Facebook, Laurel River Pro Lures.
@ ok thanks
Will they be at the fishing expose this weekend n Corbin do you know
@@tbbrock0525 they won’t have a booth there but it’s possible that some vendors such as The Tackle Spot might have some of their baits available.
Do you have a code for rock crawlers
@@claudejude-qm6sq like a code to order them?
I got some of them lures on the way
@@reelingwithjib good deal. You’ll love them.
I Still say Laurel is the prettiest lake in Kentucky although it can be fickle to fish
@@kyanglr4071 I agree buddy!
I hope you have someone go with you it's safer.
Can you put me on a Kentucky musky
@@Gokywildcats11 no sir, I’m sorry but I’ve never fished for Musky.
Louisville is full of them..
I worry about you A whole lot lol
@@JamieSloan-cz6kn 😂😂. I’m right as the mail James.
