    Barren this weekend

    I'm going to Barren this weekend for only my second time. Not really a fishing trip, but I will try to get my bass boat out in the mornings and evenings. Need some bass tips. Hybrid striper tips too if anyone has any.

    Thanks
    Mark

    if it were me

    I would fish a shakey head or dropshot in 10-12 feet of water. That would be my guess where the thermocline is setting up and you might fine some fish grouped up. I had great success the only time I fished Barren by fishing a 20 yard stretch of bank with these two techniques.

    Barren

    I would probably fish somewhere else this weekend. Barren is almost 5 ft over summer pool and still rising due to flash flooding in that area.

    He's right. It is unfishably muddy up Skaggs and I assume the other creeks are the same. Plus there is a BFL here Saturday so 150 more boats than your normal weekend. You will have to take a number to fish a spot. Go to Green. That's what I plan to do.

    Some friends of mine rented a house there, so we are going for a 'fun' weekend. I was just going to fish whenever I had time.

    Thanks for the input.

    Well

    Since you are gonna be there, the main lake is up but has good color. I would fish along the rip rap on the dam, and the backs of the coves on the main lake if I were going to fish. I would also fish the wash-ins on the bluff walls. Points will probably have a boat on it at all times, and if not, it probably will have already been fished two or three times prior to you being able to get on it.
