Crappie is best bet at Barren By JOEL WILSON For the Daily Times GLASGOW — With dove and squirrel seasons just around the corner — both excellent experiences to introduce young people to hunting — we offer one last reminder this week that a hunter safety course begins tonight at the Park City Lions clubhouse.
A three hour class will be from 6 to 9 p.m. tonight and Friday night and a four hour review, exam and qualification shoot will be from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. The course is open to everyone but all three sessions must be attended to get your hunter education card. Weapons and ammo will be furnished. For information, you can call Ed Rigdon at (270) 773-3800 or Kirby Harper at (270) 749-9111. I’ve known Ed for many years and he knows his stuff. He has a wealth of experience and will be an excellent instructor. Remember that hunter education is required for all hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1975, except kids under 12 and hunters who are license exempt. However, a one-time temporary hunter education exemption permit is available for $5 online, which allows hunting for one year from the date of purchase without a hunter education card while accompanied by a legal adult hunter. Log on to fw.ky.gov on the Internet to find a hunter education course near you, or to purchase an exemption permit. On to the fishing report this week even though it will be brief. Todd Logsdon passes along this information: Believe it or not, crappie seems to be the best producer at Barren this week. We’ve heard of some 20- and 30-fish strings and they are more shallow than you would think during daylight hours, around six feet. They are deeper at night under the lights, 12 to 14 feet. Our report on bass is sketchy but we’ve heard that topwater action has picked up, particularly during the early morning hours. And they’re still catching some at night. We haven’t heard anything on the hybrids this week but catfish are still being caught jugging. We also heard of some big flatheads being taken on large shiners at night. The bluegill bite is still pretty good along the bluff walls and they seem to be congregating pretty heavily around the docks. We ran into Willard Parnell, one of the world’s best muskie fishermen, yesterday at Bill and Todd’s. He hadn’t been but some of his young relatives had caught nine muskie Sunday at Green River Lake. Last week, we talked about the upcoming dove season. This week, we will pass along a little information on squirrel season from Hayley Lynch, staff writer for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. Squirrel hunters can hit the woods Saturday for opening day of Kentucky’s fall squirrel season.
