He will be missed! Learned so much from his class about map reading I still use today. He would always answer any questions about Barkley. Generous man.
Just curious if anyone been bass fishing here much and how’s it going. I used to make spring trip here every year til the carp took over. Was debating a fall trip for 3-4 days. Is the bass fishing...
I’m thinking about heading down to fish Thursday-Sunday. Weather is supposed to get nice. Did you fish north Barkley most? That’s the area I know the best and plan on going if work allows.. I...
Nice bass!
It didn’t stop me, but the fish did that day 😂
lol.. not asking for a spot.. I know yatesville.. will I get In trouble.. lol
Is there a problem with that? Will I get in trouble? The closest lake to me worth a darn besides the river is rocky fork. I love the river, but it’s blown up? Planning on yatesville. Will I get...
I always throw a crank year round. I love top water this time of year. Spook, the plopper, buzzbait, poppers. Catch a HOG this time of year.
We are renting the boat out of Beaver Creek. Is that a good creek? Just looking to run a little in the morning or evening for a top water bite. I’ll have 2 guys with me that don’t really fish. They...
I’m heading to Cumberland for Labor Day weekend. We stay in house boat and I take my bass boat as well. It’s not really a fishing trip bc I’m with my wife and several other couples. However, I plan...
As stated, you have to fish at night now. Only exception may be where we have had a lot of rain, the lake may be a little stained and you could catch some fish early in the morning or evening. Lake...
We used to go to Barkley every year the first week of May starting in 2000. The fishing was unbelievable. Sad what has happened. We finally switched our spring trip to lake st Claire three years ago....
Fished Friday for about 5 hours. Caught 11 with 2 keepers near 3lb. Fish were still on the deeper lead in banks. Water temp was 64.
Man we miss Dave...lol
Man, one of my best days on barkley was several years back. It got flooded so bad they shut the lake down. I can’t remember exact water level, but I’m sure some others on here would. It was amazing...
Very good article. I was lucky enough to take the eliminating water class 5 or 6 years ago. Awesome class. Good luck in your battle with cancer! We will miss your reports! Thank you
Clarification.. my buddies don’t fish, but they want to this weekend with me.. lol
I’m renting a house boat from burnside next weekend and taking my boat as well. Staying with 4 other couples and no kids. Not necessarily a fishing trip as it is a “fun” trip, but hope to catch a...
Love your generosity! Excellent job! Had your class years ago and still use the map reading and fish location tips today. Just wanted to point out how classy your report is!
Real nice fish!
Hahahahahahah
Geo, I absolutely love north Barkley!! Hope you kill em!
I guess my economics course taught different than yours...
Nice fish! Love the brown ones!!
I’ll say this, if you hit that area at the right time it can be awesome! Especially the pads!
Thank you. Anyone else ever tried to replace the glass?
Has anyone cracked the glass and had it repaired? Does hummingbird do this or would it have to be someone local? I used it twice before I cracked it. My wife surprised me with it so I really need to...
I have been twice. Once was a one day guide trip and I caught an 8.5oz and a 7 even about 15 minutes apart on Carolina rig. Last year I drug my boat down for 6 days. Caught a 6.14oz. On buzzbait. I...
1-buzzbait
2- different size buzzbait
3-different color buzzbait
4-different brand buzzbait
Dave, I took your class and learned so much on reading a map. You may remember my brother fighting stage IV cancer also and he's winning as well. Still going strong! Good luck with your battle as...
Only been once with a guy who "knew" the lake. Caught 2 all night. Lots of standing timber in the lake.
I'd say he's referring to the famous smallie jumps of 4-5 feet in the air with only one hook of your crank in his mouth.
sounds exactly like my dad did!!!!
Buzzbait. U figure out what you want on it. Lol.. if ur not catching any, good chance you may end up with at least big bass cash. It's happened in my boat a lot more than once.
Wish I could help you, but never fished it.
I've kind of thought that. I didn't make it down last spring. This year only had quick 3 days and they dropped the lake 3 foot in a couple days so it was bad too. However, spring 2015 had a great...
Thanks. I been watching him. Gives great reports! Man it really looks like we will hit it perfect. Just like to get a few good smallies!
Can anyone that's been give me tips for what canals to try if the wind gets up or smallies are being stingy? Also, any pointers or tips for the smallies? Thanks
Thanks! It looks promising with the stable weather moving in. Less than a week away 😋
This is actually my first trip up there. My brothers best friend been going a couple years so we're all going this year. We are staying in a house on Harsons island. I can't wait. Leaving next Monday...
Heading to st Claire. May 15.. can't wait. Hopefully it's a lot better than Barkley this year. Lol. However, the next two weeks the weather looks to be cool so it will probably be terrible too.
A buddy and I went for a quick 3 day trip this weekend. I've never saw the lake be sucked like it was. Was very disappointed the fish had moved out. I don't have many humps or points I can go to as...
Can't go wrong with bone especially on a river system. Chrome with black back works very well for me too.
Check out the report Dave just put out. Tell you all you need to know. I'll be there for a quick 3 day trip next weekend armed with a buzzbait and a lizard. Should be all I need.. lol
There is a popular cliff jumping area at Grayson, but I don't jump so I can't tell you exactly how it is bc I don't remember. Lol. It's very high though. Been since high school. Fishing getting...
Buddy it's a tough lake especially if ya don't know it. I would tell u, but I don't do any good there either. I Always have tournament there end of march early April and I have never placed and I...
That's a dandy river smallie. I'm big cranking guy for smallies. Always start up top first though. The big ones seem to like the spook awful well.
Plenty of nice ones on the Ohio. It's the only thing I fish for anymore on the ohio anymore at least on my pool.
Is someone acting like they are me? Lol
It's not 150 dollars better! I can tell u that!!! Lol
