Dude....just get a cast net and head for the backs of coves. Forget it if it's windy. This technique seems to work best late June, July and August. Once you catch them and locate some Hybrids on your electronics. Troll with an egg sinker like you would for stripers at C-land. 4-5 cranks off the bottom or at the depth your marking fish.

I'm totally against using live bait to catch fish....but this could be a great way to get a large meal for your next fish fry. Plus, I feel like it's little more sporting to catching your own bait.

Go check it out and let me know how you do. The turkey's are calling me bro.

Artificials at Barren....
I prefer Kastmasters in the 1/8-1/4 oz, 1 oz white Zorro's Single blade or top water chuggers like Chugbugs or Pop-R's on the main lake points early and late. What you do depends on the conditions.
