Hybrids at Barren

[TheFishinDog]

I haven't fished Barren since 2005 but have a family reunion coming up in the next week. I have a small boat and wanted to find where the hybrids usually jump. I only have a couple of days to fish and sure could use a nudge in the right direction. Can anyone help me out?

the island area seems to always be a good place to start,don't know about jumps,since you have a small rig do some trolling i know a few guys who been doin pretty well,cranks and sassy shad type baits....find shad you'll find a hybred.

Thanks Catfish Whiskers. I was curious about which Island is the best for hybrids? The one by the dam or the one in the middle of the lake by the state park?

Thanks again.

String King RedEye Shad, blue/chrome color - it works!!! Tie one on and go looking for them...I usually go fishing for bass and end up in the hybrids with that bait nearly every time! Not that I'm complaining or anything... Seems like deep water near riprap is where I usually find them, like around a bridge.
