I just got back from about two weeks at Barkley and it was rough going for me as well. My back was giving me a lot of trouble so between that, the heat, and going places with the wife and children I didn't really fish all that much, but the times I did were pretty brutal. Most fun I had fishing was floating worms under a bobber off the dock with my kids. There is still something about watching a bobber get pulled under that will never get old with me no matter what age, and I'll take fun times with my family over most other things anyway so it was a great vacation regardless of the fishing.

I'm hoping to get over there again later in August and do some more serious fishing.
