    RE: Barkley Report Thurs April 13

    Good report Danny...I was out there on Barkley today also....looked for you but did not recognize you. We were doing pretty much the same as you except we were dragging Texas rigs...we had about 40 fish with 16 keepers..best 5 around 15 pounds...we were doing a tournament prep so we hit a lot of spots and left fish biting at most of them. I had a few of the fish on a trick worm also today.

    Hey Dave -- Question

    Dave....

    At one time I told Darrell that I thought that might be you. Don't you still run a brown Ranger? I saw a couple of guys in a boat that looked a little like yours, and started to come over to see if it was you.

    I do have a question though. What size weight were you using on your TX Rig? I tried throwing a TX Rig, but we could not find a concentration of fish, and were having to search. The carolina rig was perfect because I could keep contact with the bottom while I searched, but the TX rig kept "swimming" up off the bottom. I guess I could have used a heavier weight. Or maybe, I just did not have enough confidence that there were fish where we were.

    Thanks for the help Dave.

    Thank You Dave

    Dave,
    I just wanted to thank you once again for the great day we had on Barkley Friday. It was a learning day for me, now if I can remember everything you taught me.... I would like to say if anyone is having trouble catching fish on Barkley or Ky Lake, give Dave a call and setup a day on the water. I know there will still be those days, but just by what Dave showed me in 8 hours I can and hope to catch fish everytime I am on the water. I will take this to all the lakes I fish. I will be checking my calendar to setup another day with Dave real soon.

    Thank you,

    Greg Paschal

    Greg
    Thanks for the kind words. I really enjoyed finally getting to spend a day with you on the water. Looking forward to the next time. The UL boys are lucky to have you working with their team for sure.

    RE: Hey Dave -- Question

    Thanks Dave,

    I guess I just have to develop more confidence in my spots and fish slower to keep that light a weight on the bottom.

    One thing though, except for a short period of wind, the water was really flat. We could not get bit on spinnerbaits or crankbaits at all.

    Did you guys catch anything on hard cranks? We saw a lot of shad flipping around, I can't believe we could not get bit on shad replicas.

    Wish we had seen you. We could have spent a few minutes sharing a cold drink.... I had plenty of water!!! LMAO

    Hey Mark...

    No way am I after his job!!! Can't you tell the difference? LOL We had a 14 fish day, 4 keepers and were happy, he had 60 fish and 16 keepers?? LMAO... my report is no where near as thorough as his reports either. LMAO I am only trying to let everyone know how us regular guys do!

    I wish I could do his job though. It would be great to be that good a fisherman.

    RE: Still a Good Job

    Thanks Mark.

    I know I'm recovered enough that I sure wish I was back on the water today!!!

    I guess since I'm still unemployeed though, I'll wait until Tuesday or Wednesday. Should let the fish settle down from all the tournaments today and tomorrow.

    I hear Jeta is having their tournament today, and that will be what, about 300+ boats??

    IF you are ever down this way, let me know, maybe we can spend a day on the water. I'm not nearly as good at putting you on fish as Dave, but I guarantee a day on the water!!!!

    LOL

    Danny
