Barren still likes about 7ft before it gets to complete winter pool. For its size, Barren is one of the best lakes in the state. It consistently provides great tournament weights through the year.

We fished Saturday and Sunday for our clubs classic. Did real well Saturday with over 15lbs. Sunday was tough post frontal and only managed 8lbs and some change. We were stuck to the main lake all day with mechanical problems and had to troll, could not get to our fish.

November and December can be one of the best times on that lake for numbers and a chance to catch some very large Barren River Bass.
