    Barkley

    Heading to Barkley on either Thursday or Friday of this week to pre fish for a small tournament on Saturday, I'm restricted to Barkley, can't go to KY. Any ideas? I never fish Barkley so I'm just going to approach it like I would KY. thanks for any tips!

    Is it open to anyone? I have long thought it might be fun to try one sometime. I have a lot of physical issues so most of the time even if I am up to getting my kayak out I can't fish very long so even though I would have zero chance of winning a tournament it still might be fun to just enter one anyway for the experience.

    Daggone boys, Barkley was tough!! 2 days of pre-fishing resulted in 1 fish on thursday and 2 on friday and I fished hard, all day. Saturday I did manage to catch several on topwater very very early and then after the sun came up I had maybe 3 or 4 bites all day, and no real quality at all. If you go just plan on being on the water before the sun rise and after sunset and throw topwater! the bite during the day is not worth the abuse of the heat!
