Last week I was down on Barkley and KY both, two days between trips, and KY was about 4 degrees cooler than Barkley. One thing, it seems the water warmed earlier this year than years past. however, my anniversary is May 23rd, and I remember one trip there a few years ago, actually on Barkley, Eddy Creek, where I was just throwing a spinnerbait following the shore on the secondary points and wore them out.

As I said, it seems the water is warmer this year, but if we have the cool down that is predicted, it may slow things down, I really don't know.

So, I am saying you should be able to find many fish still in the post spawn and transition areas, as well as on the drops.

My best advice is to check out the board closer to the date and see what fishing reports are coming in, and of course make sure to check out Dave's fishing report he posts every Thursday.
