Hybrid fishing is good at Barren right now. Get you some 5 1/2" jointed thundersticks and 30lb braid. The best time is 10pm-2am. Fish from the hogs back down to the dam or over on the end of the campground bank at the end of the bluff wall. We've had several limits caught and lots of nice sized fish 7lb and up. Focus on the points and try to get your bait as close to the bank as possible and use a low retrieve. Wait for the big ones to jerk you outta the boat!
