Barkley can humble you really fast, particularly if you don't have experience on it. I am fortunate enough that I have a handful of spots that produce. The best way to find the beds on big lakes is...
Not this one but I did catch one on April 23rd that is at the taxidermist to get mounted. It was 2.2lb and a stud.
Caught this stud yesterday
I caught a 5lb largemouth on a nightcrawler while redear fishing tonight on Barkley. The lake has dropped a bit since Saturday. I wish they would've just left it at summer pool!!
It was 13 inches long with crazy girth
It was an incredible fight. Luckily I had the dip net to assist me!
2lb2oz redear from Lake Barkley caught this evening.
Should get better in the coming weeks!!
Congratulations 👏
Thank you!
I target redear pretty much by fishing on the very bottom. Of course you will certainly catch bluegill, bass, catfish, etc. I target them because they present a really unique challenge...They eat...

Redworms/Nightcrawlers
Tough bite but a couple hogs...
Fished for several hours yesterday morning and caught some decent redear. I went back later in the day and my son caught this big bass but the redear were gone. This ugly weather pattern is affecting...

Lake Barkley today...
Barkley..I typically fish Barkley, occasionally Kentucky.
Going to try again today so I can have a quality mess.
Caught this monster yesterday on chunk rocks jigging with redworms.
Fish of a lifetime!! In the Louisville area, I suppose?
I own an Alumacraft 16.5ft Competitor. It has a 90hp four stroke Mercury. I fish the twin lakes in Western Kentucky and it is a nice boat.
Good for you! Do you come down here to the LBL anymore?
Prayers to your friend!! I've been down there a few times through the years as I lived in Jeffersonville most of my life. What a dangerous area the Falls can be!!
Barkley...cheaper than Kentucky and the lake's in much better shape than Kentucky. They actually have a shot at getting many if not all of the carp out of Barkley.
I just saw where the price tag was a cool 23 million dollars and read no more. Isn't it amazing how much money flows through an economy?
I think this is a travesty...I don't see the humor at all. I'm wondering if ALL the Kentucky River fish are dead!!!
Fine the piss out of Jim Beam!
We went to walk the 68/80 bridge and it was under attack by the mayflies!!! I guess there were at least a billion of them piled up dead along the entire stretch of walk path. There were also...
Dave,
Question for you...do you know of a pattern for catching redear this time of year? It seems like the spring is the big bite for these fish, but they have to eat every day.
Have you ever...
I wonder if it's AC fry, too?? The only way forward is through commercial fishermen, that's the bottom line. Put a bounty on their heads, money motivates people like nothing I've ever seen!!
Just to add my 2 cents....I caught more and bigger bass this spring while bluegill/redear fishing than I ever have before. I caught a handful of LMB that weighed 2.5lbs on redworms while fishing on...
Barkley is right...
Caught these sight fishing and going back to catch a few more in the morning.
Better picture
Do you fish around the Barkley Lodge at Little River? Do you catch redear down there?
Chasing those hawg redear!!
Well, I report when we do decent but today I report that it sucked. This cold front that arrived late Thursday night has hung around for 4 days too long! The panfish were primed to do their thing but...
It was a chilly day, this morning was cold! Could've kept over 30 bluegills but didn't need them. This weather really bottomed out!!
There's not much I can add to what KC said, but I wonder how much the state killing the grass off in the lakes hurt fishing? Outside of a lillypad field in the back of Kuttawa Harbor, there's not...
Here's to hoping the bite improves!
JCB, I was convinced around this same time last year that things were headed south on property values but I personally haven't seen that play out.
With my little place they've actually gone up a...
I'm hoping and praying that the commercial fishermen who are finally getting very serious about pursuing asian carp, will provide light at the end of the tunnel. If you do the math, just one seasoned...
I've caught some nice shellcrackers this past week and it is just now getting good. It should be pretty good from right now through the next three weeks for the big redear and bluegills.
...
What is the correct method of taking pictures on this site? Mine are turned around the wrong ways...frustrating.
Getting better
I hope it's a sign of good things to come.
I've been doing a bit of bank fishing and Barkley has come up at least a foot since Monday. They are supposed to start bringing the lake up to summer pool Monday, April 1st and have it at summer pool...
What a vacation! A trip that won't be forgotten!
Kill EVERY single Black Carp that you see! They will hurt the shellcracker population by stealing their snails!!!
