    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

    I was down there last week. There was essentially no bite on Barkley and we didn't do too hot on Kentucky either, but it was better than Barkley.

    Just leaving Barkley. They have been raising the lake for several days. It's way up in the trees with trash everywhere. The bass have pulled out of their spawning flats. We caught several nice keepers on lead-in banks and secondary points in 8-10' of water. The bite is very very slow.

    Heading down tomorrow and hope to get a few casts in between tornado warnings. Still up at 358+ and it seems like they're pulling water really fast. Seems like a perfect setup for a Carolina rig bubble gum buzzbait.
