There are shad in Barren but they are illegal to sell live in Ky, with the exception of C-land. If I am correct, it is also illegal to use live shad for bait anywhere except C-land and the Ohio River. That being said, lots of people catch and use them for bait. Just be aware that is illegal and could cause trouble if you are checked for any reason. Check some local bait shops and try to find large shiners. They can be effective fished like you did at C-land. One alternative is to troll crankbaits and bucktail jigs instead of live bait. This can be done with or without planer boards. Good luck.
