SEEING A BUNCH OF RABBITS, DOGS ARE DOING GREAT AND I'M HAVING A BLAST.

THERE HE IS.

TOO FAR AWAY FROM THE SHOOT.

HERE HE COMES.

THERE THEY GO.

THERE THEY GO.

THEY'RE RIGHT ON IT.

HERE HE IS.

>> HEADED UP THE HILL.

>> WE ARE BLESSED TO BE OUT HERE TODAY HAVING FUN, GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD COMPANY, JUST HAVING A GOOD TIME.

GET A REALLY GOOD PACK OF DOGS LIKE THIS, YOU OWNED OVER HUNDREDS AND COUNTING PEOPLE YOU HAVE HUNTED WITH AND THEIR DOGS, YOU GET TO PICK WHAT YOU LIKE ABOUT CERTAIN DOGS AND TRY TO GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF A BEAGLE?

>> I TRY FOR THE HUNT FIRST, YOU KNOW AND THEN THE SECOND THING I LIKE IS A DOG THAT HAS HALFWAY HAS SOME SENSE TO IT AND I LIKE ONE WITH A BOTTOM END, HAS STAMINA, HANDLE ALL DAY HUNTING, YOU KNOW.

>> LET'S GO, DOG.

>> DON'T TAKE TOO LONG, BUDDY.

>> THESE DOGS BEAT US TO THIS FIELD ANDE IF GOT BROKE UP.

WE HAD A RACE GOING IN THAT DIRECTION AND TWO DOGS BROKE OFF AND RAN THAT RABBIT RIGHT TO YOU.

>> THAT'S RIGHT.

RIGHT TO ME.

ALMOST ON THE MOUND WITH US HERE.

>> LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

>> WORKED OUT LIKE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO.

>> HAD A LITTLE SAG IN YOUR POCKET, I BELIEVE YOU WOULD HAVE JUMPED IN.

>> THAT'S GOOD SOMETIMES.

>> THAT'S A HARD SHOT TO MAKE WHEN THEY GET THAT CLOSE.

THAT PATTERN IS THAT BIG.

>> I WOULD RATHER HAVE THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE.

I LIKE TO PULL RIGHT UP AND GO.

(DOGS GOING CRAZY) (GUNSHOTS).

>> THAT RABBIT WAS WITHIN FIVE FEET OF ME AND I SAW IT BUT THE DOGS WERE PUSHING IT THIS WAY.

I THOUGHT IF IT GOT OUT IN THE OPEN, WE WOULD HAVE A GOOD SHOT BUT THAT RABBIT PULLED A SLIP ON ME.

>> THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT ONES!

>> DID YOU GET THAT ONE?

>> I THINK SO!

I'M NOT 100% SURE.

HE DUCKED IN THE BRIARS.

A BUNCH OF FUR BUT NO RABBIT.

>> I BET THEY'RE BACK ON IT RIGHT HERE.

>> DOGS SPENT A LOT OF TIME WORKING AND WHEN THEY FINALLY GOT A RABBIT UP, WE GOT TWO RABBITS GOING.

ONE THAT WAY AND ONE THAT WAY.

I THINK WE GOT 'EM BOTH.

AIN'T SURE RIGHT NOW.

>> THAT RABBIT HAS TO BE THERE SOMEWHERE.

THEY GOT 'EM.

>> I HEARD THE BUNNY.

>> LET GO!

LET GO!

QUIT INDY.

NICE JOB DALE.

>> DID YOU GET THAT RABBIT.

>> THAT WILL BE GOOD EATING.

>> WE WASN'T TOO CLOSE TO HIM.

>> HE BARELY HAD ANY PELLETS IN HIM.

>> I THIS I HE HAD A HEART ATTACK ATTACK.

>> ALL THAT AREA THE DOGS WORKED AND GOT TO THIS POINT AND TWO SQUIRTED OUT AT THE SAME TIME.

>> I SAY THEY RUN 'EM DOWN THERE I KNEW THERE WOULD BE A BUN NECESSITY THERE.

>> HAD TO BE.

NO CHOICE.

>> I DON'T THINK ANYBODY COMPLAINED WITH THAT.

THAT WAS A VERY, VERY GOOD DAY OF RABBIT HUNTING AND YOU KNOW, WE LET WAY MORE THAN THAT RUN.

WE DIDN'T HURT THE PLACE NONE, DID WE?

>> NO, IT WAS A PERFECT DAY.

>> ABSOLUTELY A PERFECT DAY.

HERE TODAY WITH DANE, PROGRAM COORDINATOR WITH THE FINS LAKE, FISHING IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

LAST TIME WE WERE OUT, WE CAUGHT A TON OF FISH AT A FINS LAKE.

>> WE WERE CATCHING A LOT OF CATFISH.

>> SUMMER IS NOT THE ONLY TIME TO FISH IN THE FINS LAKE.

>> YEAR ROUND OPPORTUNITIES THESE FINS LAKES.

WE STOCK A LOT OF TROUT AS WELL.

STARTING OCTOBER-NOVEMBER, WE STOCK TROUT, ABOUT 120,000 IN THE FINS LAKES AROUND THE STATE AND WE STOCK THOSE THROUGH THE EARLY SPRING UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE GETS TOO WARM, THE END OF MAY.

>> MIXED REVIEWS ABOUT FISHING RIGHT AROUND STOCKING TIME.

SOME SAY THE FISH DON'T WANT TO BITE FOR A WHILE.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE EXPERIENCED.

WE WATCHED THEM GO IN AND CAUGHT AS MANY AS WE WANTED IMMEDIATELY.

>> WHEN THEY STOP BITING, SOMETIMES THEY TAKE LONGER TO AK ACCLIMATE BEFORE THEY START BITING,.

>> BUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE FISH ARE GOING IN, WE OFFER THAT INFORMATION.

>> WE PUT THAT INFORMATION OUT THERE A WEEK OR TWO BEFORE THE FISH ARE STOCKED.

GO TO THE WEB PAGE TYPE IN FINS IN THE SEARCH ENGINE AND WE HAVE THAT TROUT STOCKING SCHEDULE AS WELL AS THE CATFISH STOCKING SCHEDULE RIGHT ONLINE.

>> WE HAVE 40 SOMETHING FINS LAKES.

>> 44 FINS LAKES IN 28 COUNTIES.

GO TO THE FINS WEB PAGE, DIRECTIONS HOW TO BET TO THE CLOSEST ONE NEAR YOU.

>> WINTER IS NO TIME TO SIT ON THE COUCH.

YOU CAN STILL GET OUT THERE AND CATCH FISH.

NOT ONLY FOR THE SUMMERTIME.

I HAVE FISHED FINS LAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER AND THEY CAN BE VERY PRODUCTIVE.

>> THEY CAN.

WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GO OUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE OR NOT NICE.

YOU CAN STILL CATCH FISH AT THE FINS LAKE.

>> THANK YOU FOR TELLING US ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> THANK YOU, CHAD.

>> FOR MANY ANGLERS IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY, THE WINTER TIME IS THEIR FAVORITE TIME TO FISH AND SOMETIMES THE BAWNG FISHING IS THE BEST.

>> I GUESS THAT'S THE FRANKFORT POUND, HUH?

>> HATS IT.

>> I'LL LET YOU LEAD THE WAY.

YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING SO I GUESS THE FIRST THING YOU DO WHEN YOU GO SAUGER FISHING IS LOOK AT HOW MUCH FLOW YOU GOT AND HOW MUCH WEIGHT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED TO KEEP IT ON THE BOTTOM, RIGHT?

>> RIGHT.

>> THE LAST YEAR IT HAS BEEN HARD TO FIND A DATE TO GET ON THE RIVER WHERE IT'S NOT BLOWN OUT.

>> WITH ALL THE RAIN WE'VE HAD, IT CHANGES FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT.

>> MOST RIVER FISHERMEN KNOW IT IS GOING TO BE A GOOD DAY AS SOON AS THEY LIGHT THEIR EYES ON THE WATER WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT TODAY?

>> I LIKE THE COLOR AND THE FLOW.

>> GOOD.

>> I'M GOING TO START THROWING HERE A CURLY TAIL SWIM BAIT OR MAYBE A PADDLE TAIL SWIM BAIT ON A QUARTER OUNCE HEAD AND SEE IF I CAN KEEP IT PEGGED ON THE BOTTOM.

MOST IMPORTANT THING ON SAUGER FISHING, KEEP YOUR BAIT ON THE BOTTOM.

: YOU MAY GO THROUGH SOME LURES BUT IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE BOTTOM, YOU WON'T BE CATCHING FISH.

>> I'M FROM BOURBON COUNTY.

SO I WAS RAISED IN A LITTLE TOWN, WE ALL PROBABLY GREW UP ON STOAPY CREEK AND WHEN WE CAME TO FRANKFORT, THAT'S WHEN WE CAME TO A BIGGER BODY OF WATER.

>> WHOEVER CATCHES THE FIRST FISH DOES HAVE TO BUY LUNCH.

>> WE'RE GOING TO STARVE.

>> THERE HE IS.

MAYBE THEY'RE MOVING IN A NICE ONE, TOO NICE ONE.

THAT IS A NICE, NICE...

BOY HE'S HEALTHY.

>> THIS IS A NICE LOOKING FISH.

THERE WAS A BARGE PARKED HERE WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE AND WHAT WHEN THE BARGE MOVED, THE WATER CONDITIONS CHANGED.

FINALLY SETTLING BACK OUT.

>> HE PROBABLY WASN'T ABOUT 15-FOOT OUT.

>> LOOK HOW HEALTHY HE IS.

>> WHEN IT COMES TO TABLE FARE, THERE IS A FISH YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE THAN THAT RIGHT THERE?

>> NO.

>> THAT'S IT.

>> RECENTLY WE HAVE CHANGED THE RULES AND REGULATIONS ON SAUGER, WALLEYE AND HYBRIDS OF THOSE SPICE IS SPECIES.

WE WANT TO SEE MORE FISH THIS SIZE.

RIGHT NOW IT'S COMBINED, IF YOU CATCH WALLEYE, SAUGER OR SAUGEYE, THEY ALL GO TOGETHER.

14-INCH LENGTH LIMIT, SIX PER PERSON.

YOU GET SIX OF THAT SIZE AND YOU GOT SOMETHING.

THIS IS PRETTY SIMPLE BAIT AND FAIRLY INEXPENSIVE.

YOU GOT A QUARTER INCH BALL HEAD ON THERE AND YOU WANT TO KEEP IT SIMPLE BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE SOME, AREN'T YOU?

>> YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE SOME.

[LAUGHTER] LET'S SEE HOW LONG THAT FISHING IS.

I'M GOING TO GUESS 18 INCHES.

MAYBE LONGER.

>> ALMOST 19 INCHES.

THAT'S A REALLY, REALLY NICE FISH.

SOMEONE THINKS THEY WANT TO GIVE THIS A TRY, YOU NEED A ROD YOU CAN MAKE LONG CASTERS, MEDIUM ACTION ROD.

JUST ABOUT 10-POUND TEST LINE AND ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING, YOU ARE LOOKING FOR AREAS IN THE BOTTOM WHERE YOU GOT SOME WATER CURRENT BUT IT'S A SPOT THEY CAN KIND OF REST UP A LITTLE BIT.

>> JUST LIKE, FOR INSTANCE, AT THE EDGE OF THAT BARRIER, IT CREATES A LITTLE BIT OF AN ED DDY.

IT GIVES THEM A BREAK AND PULLS THE BAIT RIGHT TO THEM.

>> THE PLATE COMES RIGHT TO THEM.

-- THE BAIT COMES RIGHT TO THEM.

>> YOU ARE NO STRANGER TO FISHING IN FRANKFORT IN THE RIVER, ARE YOU?

>> NO, I HAVE BEEN FISHING THIS PART OF THE RIVER AND ALL THE RIVER IN FRANKFORT HERE FOR ALL MY LIFE PRETTY MUCH.

JUST SOMETHING WE ALWAYS DID AS A KID.

IT'S CLOSE, CONVENIENT.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH.

GOT 'EM?

NICE.

THERE YOU GO.

LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD ONEMENT OH MY GOSH.

LOOK AT THAT SAUGER.

LOOK AT THAT.

JEEZ.

AND HERE'S WHAT YOU CAUGHT IT ON RIGHT THERE.

LITTLE BASS PRO WITH A LEAD HEAD ON IT.

>> WHAT A NICE FISH.

LOOK HOW HEALTHY AND THICK THIS IS.

>> THE FISH HAS BEEN EATING GOOD.

>> THIS IS A TROPHY FISH.

>> DEFINITELY.

>> BEAUTIFUL FISH.

THIS IS A 20-INCH PLUS FISH.

AND YOU HAVE A NEAR 19-INCH FISH IN THERE.

TWO FISH MAKES A MESS.

>> MAN THEY'RE STRONG, AREN'T THEY?

SO WE ARE RIGHT AT 20 INCHES ON THIS ONE.

ABOUT AN INCH LONGER THAN YOUR LAST ONE.

COME DOWN HERE AND CATCH ONE OR TWO OF THOSE AND YOU GOT YOURSELF A MESS OF FISH THAT MAKES IT WORTHWHILE.

WE TALK ABOUT FISHING OUT OF HERE OFF THE BANK, YOU LOW KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T THINK YOU CAN CATCH A TROPHY FISH OFF THE BANK.

SITTING DOWNTOWN FRANKFORT.

IT'S NOT LIKE WE TRAVELED TO THE DEEP EXTREME WHERE THERE IS NO PRESS GLUR ABOUT TWO MILES FROM MY HOUSE.

>> TWO MILES FROM YOUR HOUSE AND YOU CATCH A BEAUTIFUL FISH LIKE THIS.

>> THAT'S A GOOD DAY.

>> BILL, YOU SAID IT PERFECTLY.

IF YOU ARE A PERSON THAT YOU GOT AN HOUR OR TWO AFTER WORK AND YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH OR DEALING WITH YOUR BOAT, YOU CAN STILL RUN DOWN HERE AND RUN ON THE EDGE OF THE BANK AND MAKE A COUPLE CASTS.

YOU NEVER KNOW.

>> THIS IS WHAT'S HERE.

>> I THINK OUR DAY IS GOING TO GET CUT SHORT.

I BELIEVE IT IS GOING TO START WRAINING BUT CONSIDERING WE CAME DOWN HERE TO SPEND SOME TIME, CATCH SOME TROPHY FISH, IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

>> OF ALL THE FISH SPECIES WE HAVE IN THE STATE, THESE, IN MY OPINION, ARE SOME OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL: THEY'VE GOT THAT DISTINCTIVE FLAT NOSE AND THEY GET IN THE AREA AND CUT THE WATER.

I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS HAVING US OUT.

WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IN DOWNTOWN FRANKFORT YOU CAN WALK DOWN HERE AND CATCH A COUPLE TROPHY FISH.

>> GOOD KEPT SECRET THAT I BELIEVE IS GOING TO GET OUT NOW.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU GOT TWO REALLY NICE ONES TODAY AND I WILL BE BACK.

>> CERTAINLY.

>> HOPEFULLY WE WE WILL HAVE TO GET OUT AND DO SOMETHING ELSE SOMETIME.

>> ANY TYPE.

>> APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU, BILL FOR ASKING ME TO COME WITH YOU.

>> ARE YOU A BOW HUNTER AND STILL HAVE ROOM IN YOUR FREEZER?

GREAT NEWS DEER SEASON STAYS IN UNTIL JANUARY 18.

THE MODERN FIREARM SEASON HAS COME AND GONE AND ARCHERY SEASON IS OPEN AGAIN.

I SPENT A LITTLE TIME IN A DEER STAND THIS YEAR AND PASSED ON SOME DEER, PASSED ON SEVERAL BUCKS, I WOULDN'T SAY WERE BIG BUCKS BUT DECENT QUALITY DEER I'M NOT GOING TO MAKE THAT MISTAKE ANYMORE.

IT'S GETTING LATE IN THE YEAR IF I GET A CHANCE TO TAKE A RESPECTABLE BUCK, I'M GOING TO TAKE IT.

WE HAVE DONATED A COUPLE OF DOE TO HUNTERS FOR THE HUNGRY.

I'M IN OLDHAM COUNT, MINUTES FROM MY HOUSE, ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT I LIKE HAVE, IF YOU ONLY HAVE A COUPLE HOURS, YOU DON'T HAVE A LONG TIME TO SET, IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN THE WOODS AND STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO TAKE SOME DEER.

SO I HAVE NOT FIRED AND ARROW THROUGH THIS BOW YET AND IT'S EATING AT ME.

I'VE SHOT IT AGAIN TODAY, GOT IT READY AND HOPEFULLY A DEER WILL COME IN, MAKE MAKE A GOOD SHOT AND PUT SOME VENISON IN THE FREEZER.

>> DEER RIGHT HERE 200 YARDS STRAIGHT OUT IN FRONT OF ME.

HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE STAND ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND I SEE TWO DOES ABOUT 200 YARDS AWAY.

THEY'RE ONLY ABOUT 65 OR 70 YARDS NOW.

HOPEFULLY THEY'LL CLOSE THE DISTANCE SO CAN YOU GET A SHOT WITH MY BOW.

BUT MAN, IT'S EARLY, JUST KNOWING WE'VE GOT DEER THIS CLOSE THIS THIS EARLY IN THE OPPORTUNITY IS ALWAYS A GOOD THING.

THERE IS NOT A LOT OF GROUND FOR THEM TO COME TO THAT WAY.

I HAVE TO BE ON MY TOES.

THEY COULD SHOW UP ANY SECOND.

THOSE DEER USUALLY COME THROUGH THE MIDDLE HERE BUT THERE IS A GUY HERE WORKING TODAY AND I THINK HE PUSHED THOSE DEER ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE VERY BACK OF THE WOOD PILE AS SOON AS THIS GUY QUITS WORKING, I EXPECT THESE DEER TO COME RIGHT THROUGH.

I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I'M READY FOR THEM.

HERE THEY COME.

RIGHT ON THE SAME TRAIL COMING BACK.

THEY'RE COMING RIGHT TO US.

♪ ♪ THEY'RE COMING BACK.

HERE THEY COME.

AS SOON AS THE TEAR CROSSES THE TREE, THEY'LL BE IN RANGE.

THEY'RE GOING TO WALK RIGHT TO US.

ALL RIGHT.

TEAR DOWN.

LET'S GET DOWN AND CHECK HER OUT.

>> TONIGHT WAS A VERY BIZARRE HUNT.

WE HAD A SITUATION WHERE WE SAT IN THE STAND MAYBE 15 MINUTES AND LOOK UP AND HERE COME TWO DOUGH DOES.

THEY WALK ADD ROUND US AND THEY WERE AFRAIDING THAT CONSTRUCTION.

WE KNEW THEY WERE IN THE SHORT WOODS AND WE THOUGHT THERE WAS A GOOD CHANCE THEY WOULD COME RIGHT BACK BY.

AN HOUR PASSES AND I LOOK OVER AND THEY WERE WALKING RIGHT TO US.

THE DOG THAT IS IN THE PROPERTY OWNER'S DOG PEN SOMEHOW GETS OUT AND RUNS THESE DEER BACK IN THE SHORT CORNER AGAIN.

LO AND BEHOLD, RIGHT AT DARK, THESE DEER COME SLIPPING BACK BY, TRYING TO GET THROUGH AND THIS DEER GOT TOO CLOSE.

A PERFECT SHOT FOR ME WITH A BOW AND ARROW.

15-35 YARDS.

THIS DEER WAS CLOSER TO SIX.

A BIG NICE HEALTHY DOE.

AND I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO TOPPING OFF THE FREEZER.

>> LETH CHECK IN AND SEE WHO ELSE HAS BEEN HAVING FUN IN THIS WEEK'S ONES THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY.
