my dad and his friend is down there and had a tough morning. they caught some fish, but nothing like i have been reading on here about the 80-100 fish days? anyone else have any luck today. my dad is staying thru friday and dont fish much anymore and was hoping he could "get on em". thanks
I was out there Saturday and Sunday - both days had the bass on a great deep crankbait pattern. Was on mainlake points, sitting in deep water and casting up onto 6 to 8 ft deep rocks/flat, plinking the bait down the point. Bass were schooled up tight, and I would get one on about every 4th or 5th cast...all fish were around 14".
Smallmouth were abundant too on the points, mostly by the dam where current was flowing pretty good - they were hitting the same crankbait but were more suspended and seemed to follow the bait longer and finally hitting almost by the boat.
About any crank with some chartreuse was the key.
Also heard about bigger fish still being caught in the bushes, but I never found them. The ledge bite is starting up too...any ledge I knew of had about 3 boats on it so I didn't get to do much of that. It was crowded out there this weekend, especially saturday!
Fished Friday, Saturday and Sunday and all three days had at least 60-80 fish days with 90% being 14-14 3/4....Most production came on Kentucky moreso than Barkley.

I fished thursday, friday, saturday and sunday. We had 7 keepers on thursday 2 friday, 4 saturday and 3 sunday. It was tough for us. We did catch a lot of fish. We caught all the keepers on jigs with only one comming on a baby brush hawg and one on a buzz bait.
We fished everything from brush to ledges.
thanks for all the help. dad said he caught about 25 today with 2 keepers. he said he had a pretty smallie on a craw bait around 17 inches. ill relay some tips. thanks again.
