Jim's Big Fishing Homepage


Jim and Striper I will try and make your visit interesting.  If you like fishing and hunting as I do then there are lots of pictures for viewing.  "How to use methods", that I have found successful will be continually added as time and learning allows.
  If you see anything you would like to discuss please e-mail me and I will get back to you as soon as possible. 
I live in the western part of Kentucky and I am fortunate to have three rivers the Tennessee, Cumberland and Ohio to fish as well as Kentucky and Barkley lakes.
If you need any information on these please contact me and I will help if I can.   Kentucky Lake Outdoors is also a great place to get area info.  It includes info on water conditions, hotels, motels, camping etc.  Once again thanks for stopping by and I hope that you find the time well spent
.

At the bottom of each page I will have buttons.Click on the next buttons to go to the next page in the list in the table of contents or click on the back button to return to this page.
Striped Bass make great runs, the sound of the line zipping thru the guides is music to my ears.
Attempting to stop a striper's run by thumbing the spool or tightening the drag will leave you with a busted leader and a frown on your face.
Striped Bass are my favorite species to pursue. If you have never fished for striper's you are missing a lot of fun and great eating.
