Questions:  

Would I need a gas motor on my john boat to travel some distance from the launch area, or will a simple trolling motor be enough? 

What about a place to stay?

License?

Food?

  Hi Riverman !,  Glad to hear you are thinking about coming ,  Kentucky Lake is the biggest body of water between Canada and the Gulf, most of the water is about  4-10 ft deep except for the channel  which is about 50 ft deep.  as for Lodging  there is  hotels and motels 8 miles away in Camden ,Tn  . , their is campsites almost walking distance to the cabins , and finally we might be able to squeeze you in on one of the couchs  in the cabin.  The out of state  licence if I remember is about $12 for 3 days , and for food we get together  on the deck  and cook ,  Thurs nite - hamburgers , Friday - we might have some crawfish and shrimp , and on Sat- we will have a fish fry  from our catch.   Homemade deserts are welcome and maybe a donation  toward the shrimp and crawfish . Wow ! Idea ! your prices on crawfish might be cheaper in La  . and  we might get you to bring those., of coarse we will reimburse you  . I know the fishing is not what you are use to in Louisiana but I don't think you will find a better and more friendly crowd . We are about 60 days  from the Rendezvous  so keep in touch and we hope you can make it .      LOFR

Riverman I would bring a gas motor if you can get one. Sometimes it takes some running around to find the fish. The places I caught them the last two years were quite a ways apart.
