Help Lake Barkley fishing leaving Eddy Creek Marina
Hi
Me and my brother are going crappie fishing out of Eddy Creek from April 4th until the 8th. Looking for some information on where i might be able to hook into a couple. My boat isn't equipped for fishing with a spider rig so were just probably going to casting with minnows. It there are some better rigs, it would be great. If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate it.

Thanks for all the information on fishing out of Eddie Creek.
Someone say that I promised to sent out information on my trip but I didn't. I thought I had but that was 3 years ago and sometimes I'm not sure what i did yesterday.. Forgive me.
Our last trip out of Eddie creek was a struggle. We fished some deep water but the only place that we had any luck was on the wall of the dam right across of the marina. Out of the 4 days we caught about 20 fish. A couple drum, a couple nice small mouth, a catfish and about 15 crappie. hopefully we can do better this year. We did eat at Patties and that was delicious.
On the navigation points and structures I'm not exactly how to even find them. I'm new on fishing a larger lakes.
Thanks again on the information.

I understand a little more about lake Barkley every time I go down but you need help because the lake is so huge and is rather overwhelming, but that's what makes the adventure fun. This has been my second year and I got to see the stake beds this year. It's hard to find the some of the brush piles that they say are marked. I really appreciate all the help on the stake beds and the brush piles and understanding that there are many other brush piles all over the lake.
I just got back from my trip and we had a great time even though it snowed, got really cold and the wind blowing too hard to fish. I guess it's hard this time of the year to figure out a perfect date to go. I hear this week is supposed to be great.
We caught 7 nice crappie and about 15 small white bass. We fished along the road with there was some rip rap but were having no luck and spotting no fish. We went under the bridge to the other side of the road where there were about 20 boats so we watched them down about 100 yards down past everyone and watched them. Some guys in a boat came buy and we started talking and they told me there was a old creek bed that was about 4 feet deeper than the 10 feet we were fishing. I asked them if they were fishing cover and they told me no one out there were fishing cover that they were just trolling slow from 6' to 14'. We ended up catching some fish and getting a hang what they were all doing.
The water temp was 55 and they said the fish will really start getting better at 62 degree. The crappie were just starting to come up from the deeper water. I might try to get down there again in about 10 days.
We tried to get out yesterday but the wind was terrible. I didn't see anyone out.
If I go back down, ill let you know how things go.
Thanks
I posted this 2 times so everyone could see it.
Thanks for all the positive information that I received
