Ky and Barkley were a little brutal....

Man, Ky and Barkley were tough this past weekend.

We caught limits Fri and Sat, but they were tough to come by. Sunday we sucked it up, catching 2 keepers, on 12 fish.

Friday, we fished South Barkley out of Devils elbow area and had a bag of keepers in 30 minutes on top water. After that, we struggled to continue having bites. Funny thing, Those 5 keepers came off a single spot that is on my regular milk run.

Saturday, we caught a couple on red eye shad but most came on shakey worm or other small plastics. Fished North KY from Rhodes Bay to Smith Bay. I wish we had spent more time Higgins, since that is where most fish came from.

Sunday, was a short day so we put in at Poplar Creek, and fished a few spots on North Barkley. We got bites, but just not many. We ended up with 12 on a Shakey worm......

I'm headed back next weekend, and maybe, the next after that.

It sure is nice to be back in the saddle :) .

I went to Barkley Thursday and Friday. Thursday evening was pretty good but Friday was awful for me.

It looked like they were pulling Barkley pretty good. I have some magic spots, that you can actually see little eddies form. Those magic spots are CRAZY.

Not this time........the told me to go back home.....Instead, I had a couple Belgium beers and went to Patties for dinner :) :)

Win Win.

I sure wish Timbers was still open.......

Timbers is closed?! for the season or permanently?

If it's the restaurant that's sits on the hill on the north side of 68 before you get to Barkley, I believe the new road is going to take it.

I love the Pork Chops at Patties. I don't get to get over there much these days but when you said "Patties" it brought back some good memories of going camping and fishing down there at the LBTL.
