    Decline of fishing on Kentucky Lake?

    Just curious what everyone’s take is on this. When I was younger, I remember coming to Kentucky Lake with my Dad every spring for pre-spawn bass fishing. We never seemed to have issue catching large numbers of fish and at least a few large ones every day. Starting about 10 years ago, we picked up the tradition again. Every year it seems harder and harder to find and catch these fish. Is this simply due to the increased pressure of more people bass fishing? Or is it something else?

    Ive fished barkley for years being as my lifelong friend has a cabin down there. Im not a pro by no means but ive noticed the bite being slower and further in between. Idk if its from the asian carp or the just pure crap weather weve had for it seems the last decade

    Here's one man's opinion ... https://scout.com/outdoors/bass-fish...Lake-117254525 ... and I happen to think he's probably mostly correct in his assessment.
