Well Barkley was the worst to date. Been fishing here since 2001 and it was defeating to put it mildly. Only bite was flipping and swimjig. Fri - thurs. left and went home early. Only 2 days that sound good but really were bad tough! 8 to 9 bites on those days tues was best 5 22lb plus change and 18 1/2 on thurs. My dad went 5 days with only 2 bites. Total of 41 bass for 7 days. We backed off, fishing lead in banks from front to back. Cranks, shaky heads, swimbaits, wacky rigs, top water, dragged lizards and baby brush hogs. only bites 3' and less. Biggest bites as shallow as you could get and cover water. Don't know if Dad will ever come back. My favorite place on Earth maybe have to change. Sad...
