Lake Barkley

[JigMan88]

Fished lake barkley April 14-18. Fish seem to be scattered but holding close to structure.Bigger fish coming from points or large rip-rap.Shakey head fishing produced more keepers,5in or 7in green pumpkin and watermelon red.Caught several fish on green pumpkin football jig with black trailer around secondary points and bluff walls.Carolina rigging produced alot of fish but no keepers.Hope this can help anyone going to Barkley.Good luck !!!!!
